Let me give you a little information about this show, just to make sure everyone is up to speed.
It’s called 45 Minutes From Broadway. [...]

It’s over.  The glamor, the glitz, the fun.  It’s finished for another year.  Sigh.  But don’t despair, friends!  The Tony madness can continue on a bit longer.  We still have the post-Tony posts, right?

Ok, so a detailed post is to follow, but I had to tell you all Happy Tony Day!
The menu this year is focused on favorite foods so it’s an eclecctic spread featuring Kraft mac and cheese, baked brie en croute, and New York cheesecake, just to name a few items. 
The shows look fantastic and I’m [...]

This year, not only did they pick a host, they picked a kick ass host.  This year our guide through the world of the Tony Awards is…

HOORAY!!  They are finally here!!  The nominations are out!!  (Please note the use of the double exclamation point!!  I thought it might help convey my uber-enthusiasm!!)

I’m Too Sexy for This Flu

This week I’ve been battling the grossest cold known to mankind.  I’m congested, I’m sniffling, and I’m currently rocking the voice of an 80 year old smoker who’s days away from speaking out of a box attached to her throat.  I have taken in so much cough medicine and Vicks Vapor Rub that I think [...]

One last reflection of my show before diving back into the world of Obama-land. 
For the sake of my sanity, I’m not going to rehash every moment of the show.  You don’t want to hear about it and I’m trying to move past it.  However, I noticed a few things this weekend about courtesy and respect [...]
