Anthony Rapp as Mark Cohen from Rent. One of my dream roles, really.

Shoulda been my name,
Mister Cellophane,
Cause you can walk right by me,
Look right through me,
And never know-ow I'm there.

How do you measure a year?

There seems to be a circle here; Spring Awakening, RENT, The Office...

GRRR!

And all for spite,
You can kiss your sorry ass goodbye,
You're totally fucked,
Will they mess you up,
Well, you know they're gonna try.

Let me guess. You all pretty much think that musical theater is stuffy, passe, cliche, boring, and overall old (Imagine Guys and Dolls- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7kzsZreG0o). Well, you are wrong. There are meaningful, fun, interesting, and overall AWESOME modern, new musicals.

My favorite of these is, of course,...

This is an amazing play. It is a docu-drama, meaning like a scripted documentary. What happened was a man named Matthew Shepard (who was gay) was brutally murdered in a hate crime. A theater company from New York came and talked to them about what had happened and how they felt about it. They then used all that dialogue in this play.

Last night was the 11 years anniversary, so I saw "The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later" in which the theater company goes back and reinterviews...

Okay, non-Broadway fans, this is Sherie Rene Scott. She was in the Last Five Years (Katherine), RENT (Maureen), Aida (Amneris), and many more. She is currently in the Little Mermaid (why, Sherie, why???)

Finally, I'm updating this.

This is the Eugene O'Neill Theatre, past home of Spring Awakening.

Aaannnd that's about all there is to say.
