 | 12:11 am - A Year in Theatre.
( End of year shows list )
Total: 77 (EDITED. may become 78 if we win the lotto one more time as planned before the end of the year XD)
Every year I see less shows, apparently..
At the moment, Blonde is already the show I've seen the most this year, and it's been open for 15 days..oops. Only 4 Wicked, of course.. May has been busy, with the Scoobie Week and all..13 shows in a month is quite a lot, even for me.. July was quite dull, just a couple of shows..
So many charming shows, like Blonde, Sweet Charity, Hello Dolly...so much sadness when your show closes (RIP Zorro, Spamalot, Joseph & Little Night Music..), so much Kerry awesomeness..a little bit of Rusty too...a lot of great actors on stage...
All in all, a good year. Current Mood: full

 | 11:26 am - It's a Saturnalia miracle! OMGOMGOMG deej , you DID NOT send me a holiday coupon! You magnificent nutter, you!
My little shriveled heart just melted, thus proving I DO have a heart. *sighs*
Thank you thank you thank you! <3
Now, excuse me while I slaughter a small puppy, to compensate all this mushiness.
(j/k, and a propos: it snowed last night, and this morning the dog went berserk. He basically just forgets he has to pee and spends the whole walk trying to eat as much snow as possible or attempting to run as fast as he can over frozen pavements. Often trying both things at once. Skidding and slipping ensued, I laughed a LOT, he seemed unfazed. Bless..) Current Mood: bouncy
