Interview With Jim Parsons

I fell in love with Jim Parsons from watching The Big Bang Theory. The show is hilarious, and Jim, in my opinion, makes the whole show. When I heard he was going to be on Broadway in The Normal Heart, I knew it was a play that I wanted and had to see. When I found out it was going to be closing July 10th, I immediately purchased tickets to see the play, and of course Jim. He did an interview with broadway.com about the play.

Tragedy Strikes At How To Succeed

Last night was supposed to be How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying's 100th performance. Unfortunately this was not the case. The clock kept ticking away, while audience members waited in their seats for the show to begin. As time went on, they were informed with issues backstage and they would be updated soon. After about an hour, Daniel Radcliffe and other actor came on stage to give the audience news that the show would not go on.

American Idiot...The Movie!

A lot of shows these days are turning into films. Chicago, Rent, Rock of Ages, etc. Whats the newest show that will become a movie? American Idiot of course! The show just recently ended their run on Broadway. Now I was always skeptical of this show since it opened. I have seen Green Day perform live before..and they were great. So when I heard they were making a show based on their music I was unsure about it. I mean, if I wanted to hear Green Day songs, why would I want to hear it from anyone other than Green Day? Near the end of their run, I actually wanted to go see it..but since Billie Joe Armstrong went back to the show, it was kind of hard to get tickets (not to mention I'm a broke college student!) So, I never ended up seeing the show.

However, now I will be able to get a chance to see it on the big screen! So at least I'll be able to see it, even if it is in my local movie theatre. Check out this link from broadway.com to read more about it: Billie Joel Armstrong Set To Star In American Idiot Movie; 2013 Released Planned

Idina Menzel = Amazing!

I'm a huge RentHead, and I love everyone and everything about it. I was too young to see the original cast in the show-but when I hit high school I saw it as many times as I could. I would listen to the soundtrack everyday. I just couldn't get enough of it. When I had found out that Idina Menzel was going to be in Wicked, I immediately bought tickets; without even fully knowing what the show was about. Her being in it was enough for me. Once the first note left her mouth, I got chills. Hearing her live was incredible. I fell in love with her even more so than before.

After Wicked I started keeping up with what Idina was involved in. I have been lucky enough to see Idina perform live in concert twice. The first time was at Count Baise Theare in Red Bank, and the second time was just last week when she performed at NJPAC. Both times she was AMAZING! For the NJPAC my cousin and I went and our seats were really crappy...but we didn't care. Her voice reached us without her having even to try. She performed songs from her famous shows Rent, Wicked, Glee and many more. She was hilarious as well. Not only can she belt out songs, she has such a rapport with the audience. She would tell stories in between songs, and everyone laughed their asses off! (If she ever gives up singing, she has a career as a comedian!) She made fun of her and Lea Michele singing Poker Face because she thought it was weird for a mother and daughter to sing (and she's right!)

After the show my cousin and I decided to wait at the stage door to try and meet her. We waited about 45 minutes, and out she came! She was super nice, sweet and gorgeous! She took the time to autograph everything! And the bonus of the night was she said she would also take pictures with us! My cousin and I almost died! We never thought we'd actually get a picture with her; an autograph was fine with us! It was the perfect end to an amazing night!! If you have the chance to see her live, DO IT!! Below are some pictures from the February show and the June show!

Summer Hiatus

So it's been awhile since I've posted anything new..I know, I know! Things got hectic near the end of the semester with papers, projects, and finals. I can't believe it's been a month since the semester ended! So I decided to take this time to relax and enjoy my time off before I started my summer job. But now my little hiatus is over! It's time to get back to blogging! I feel nice and refreshed and ready to get back into it! I'll have a post up by Monday or Tuesday! So stay tuned!
