Forbidden Broadway

Tonight...
Emily and I saw Forbidden Broadway. In case you're not familiar with the show, it's a roast of every Broadway show and star imaginable. They've got everything. From Ethel Merman to Les Miz to Mandy Patinkin. Its hilarious and I couldn't be more excited. So I take my loooooong shower that is probably half the reason Florida is in a drought and what do I hear ringing at the end of my shower? The phone calling to let Emily and her mom in the gate. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! I'm not dressed, I'm soaking wet and I have no clue what I'm wearing or where my makeup is. So I open the door in a towel and bath robe, get dressed in a rush, grab my stage makeup because it was the first I could find, and head out the door. I put my makeup on in the car and it was a mess. We get to the theatre and go to the bathroom to fix it. Then I see my icky hair and Kuku Coco Butter deoderant stains all over my black shirt. Argh... But of course, being a theatre person, I decide this calls for an overly dramatic breakdown. So I'm "crying" in the corner about my makeup and deoderant stains and of course Emily's vlogging it. "I have deoderant stains all over me! My makeup is blotchy! And nobody complimented me on my Liza Minnelli purse!!!!!" That was the end of the vlog (until our amazing Avenue Q reference "It sucks to be me.") and then this 60 something year old walks out of the stall saying "Did I hear someone has a Liza Minnelli purse?!" This woman was like me and Emily in 50 years. I wanted to be her best friend. No joke.
Now onto the show...
It was great. It was Broadway freak heaven. Broadway posters everywhere with overtures playing before the show starts. I was worried I wouldn't get some of the jokes but, being the theatre geek that I am, I got every one. They had a Piazza spoof that was good. Mary Poppins, Lion King, Legally Blonde, Little Shop you name it. They had it all. They had a great Carol Channing/ Hello Dolly! thing. A funny Chita Rivera skit. And I knew there had to be a Patti LuPone joke in there somewhere. It wasnt just a joke. They made a whole act devoted to roasting Patti LuPone in Gypsy. I spazzed when they announced Patti LuPone and had the same excited face on until about halfway in the act when I realized they were making fun of her. Then I got angry and had a pout on and started crying until the next scene which was Spamalot so it made it all better. And then they did a Liza spoof and of course, I had the purse so I flipped. And THEN they had a Phantom thing and we kept on hearing this loud lady laugh and we're like getting all annoyed at this woman who keeps being loud until we hear what she's saying... "Sing out, Louise! Sing out!" *cue Gypsy spazz* Gypsy spaz and we freak out cause look who's comin up roses? Ethel Merman!! Overall, the show was fantabulous and I wanna see it again.
After the show...
I decided I did a better Ethel impersonation then the performer so I belted out "Everything's Coming Up Roses" for all to hear... Merman style. Blah blah blah people loved me.
Yesterday...
Sweeney Todd came out on DVD so of course I HAD to buy it. I sat Sophie down and made her watch it while I performed it. I must say I do the Epiphany rather well. It was fun until my mom told me to put the steak knife away and go be a murderous barber with a plastic knife. Some people jsut don't get it. And she questions why I HAD to own the entire script and libritto... Until next time, peeps. Its time to go to bed. I have a show tomorrow. Good night. - Alli
