The Drowsy Chaperone
Ok....so, if you are looking to do anything in the LA area before December 24th, you should go and see The Drowsy Chaperone at the Ahmanson Theatre in Downtown LA. Last night I took Maria to see this musical on the recommendation of my voice teacher, and unlike the last musical that he sent me to see (The Grand Tour....a 'delightful romp' through war torn, Nazi ridden WWII era France...from now on I will avoid any musicals that claim to be a 'delightful romp' through anything!) I loved this show!
It was friggin hysterical. Here is a review to spark your interest. I have started watching more musicals in order to increase my general knowledge of what is out there or has been out there on the stage, and although there were quite a few inside jokes poking fun at musicals, I think the humor would translate over to a non-musical background audience. I wish them luck on their Broadway stage pursuit...with Tony award winner Sutton Foster in the lead female role I don't think they will have any problem getting that opportunity.
In other news, the use of the word "Scheid" as both adjective, noun, verb and insult seems to be as rampant as ever. I don't know how much of this is actually being used in every day speaking, but I know that it can be found all over Kristina's Blog....oh, and for those of you who want to actually read it, you sadly have to have a MySpace account....which I don't have....so I have no idea what she is saying....I just hear everyone laughing when they read it. Should this depress me? I think I need to stop thinking about it because it's starting to.
