Heaven

Well, it seems the drama is dying down, finally. I'm still going to be a little neurotic about my computer until it actually arrives, but hopefully that will happen this week. On Friday I got home and found the Xanadu cast recording waiting in the mailbox for me. I ran upstairs and popped it in and then took a look at the booklet. PS Classics definitely knows their customers. The booklet is quite thick and contains tons of color photos, so I get both Cheyenne and Curtis to drool over. The CD of course is great, but the capper is the plot synopsis in the booklet. I'm not going to ruin anything, but if you're trying to choose between buying the physical CD and downloading it, get the physical CD, the commentary is so worth the extra money. Next up will be Young Frankenstein, which I'll try to grab on my trip in 2 weeks, and Little Mermaid, which is slated for February. Speaking of the trip, I got some bad news on Saturday when I looked up playbill.com. Apparently since it's a holiday weekend, a lot of shows are doing Friday matinees, including Grease, Xanadu, and Hairspray, which pretty much wipes out all the guys I was hoping to meet. With a 2:30 show, I'm not sure they'll have the time for a late morning meeting. I guess that works out though since my companion may not be working after all that morning, and that would just make things a little awkward to have him around. However, Matt and Chad, I don't know if you've got rehearsals/an Altar Boyz matinee, but if you do happen to be free, I'll still be popping in to the 57th Street Starbucks around 8th Ave. Between 9:30 and 10, and if you still want to meet, that would make my trip. I thought briefly about trying to squeeze in the Young Frankenstein matinee, but then decided against it. We've got War & Peace that night, which would make for a very long day, and I'd rather do some shopping since we'll be all shows for the rest of the weekend. Plus, we've got an 8:30 flight on Thursday night, so if there's any sort of weather delay, we probably won't leave until sometime Friday and that would make me too neurotic. So, I'll just save it for next time. Lastly, I saw Die Frau Ohne Schatten today and it was fab. Debbie was terrific as was Jill Grove. It's a phenomenal, eye and ear popping production, a terrific early Christmas gift. Go see it before it's over.
