I watched Legally Blonde: The Musical- the Search for Elle Woods (officially the longest show title EVER!) and was sad. My fave, Autumn, was in the bottom 2 again, but once but she made it back to the loft, despite getting sick during her audition. Yay Autumn! I was sad to see Emma go, because she was SO good in the comedic scenes, and I just think they didn't give her the chance she deserved(the girl had bronchitis for goodness sake!). The judges were also very harsh this week, but then again that's Broadway.
When I go to New York, Alex and I are going to see (hopefully) see 3(maybe 4) shows. We intend to see In The Heights, Spring Awakening, Legally Blonde, and Avenue Q.
Words cannot express how excited I am to see In The Heights. The music is beautiful, the lyrics are some of the most intelligent in theatre, and Lin Manuel Miranda. What else can I say?
I've seen Spring Awakening before, but I don't care. I love the show, LOVE the cast, and the story is just so raw and real. The night we're going is the last night of 5 original cast member, so the energy is going to be phenomenal, and I honestly can't wait.
Legally Blonde looks absolutely adorable, plus I'm watching the show. Basically, I have to see it, and the night we hope to go is Laura Bell Bundy's last night as Elle. Opportunity of a lifetime!
I'm not sure if we're going to see Avenue Q. This show is coming to Memphis in September, and I could see it then(the tickets would be cheaper, too), so I don't know. We'll just have to see how things go.
In theatre news, Josh Hartnett is headlining the stage adaptation of Rain Man in London. He will be playing the role of Charlie (originated by Tom Cruise). This one is going to take a while to sink in. I'll let you know how I feel about it once I can actually comprehend it.
