Tomorrow is Tony Day. It’s one of things I look forward to all year. I count down. I watch the clock. I make myself a touch crazy about it.
The thing I love about the Tonys, though, is that while it certainly creates a little extra crazy it also heals me a little bit. We all [...]

They might be a bit late in getting to you, but here at last are the 2011 Tony nominees! You know the rules by now. I’ll link to each show the first time they are listed and throughout you’ll find my thoughts in italics wrapped in parenthesizes.

Welcome to Southie, a Boston neighborhood where [...]

Last night PBS showed a 2-hour tribute to Stephen Sondheim for his 80th birthday. Forgetting for a moment that he is one of the greatest composers of the twentieth century and that his music is awe-inspiring and goosebump-causing, that still means an extravaganza of Broadway stars singing show tunes.
I missed the first hour, but once [...]

On my first trip to New York City I made it a point to make sure that my first show on Broadway was The Boy From Oz, starring Hugh Jackman. You see, I’d seen a clip of it on some entertainment news show and it made me cry to realize that I’d never have the [...]

Click on a show title for more information about the production. When you click on a name, you will get the complete [...]

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 [...]

Just wanted to make sure my countdown clock stayed near the top!  We’re so close to Tony Day!

The Tony Awards have announced their host!  (Read the article here.)
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…

Neil Patrick Harris!
I love him.  I love him so very much.  First of all, he was one of my [...]

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!!)
Today is also Cinco de Mayo.  At work we’ve put together a little pot luck to celebrate.  I made a layered dip, someone else made a cake; it’s all very festive.  When [...]
