A Night of Tony's and Sock Puppets



Heyy sorry for not updating but I've been buuuusy. Emily is here sleeping over because I just came back from Colorado tonight. Tonight is also the most important night of any theatre buff's life: the 62nd Annual Tony Awards!!!!!! The 07-08 season has been fantabulous. Good thing Emily and I are going to NYC in a few days to check it out! (You know you're jealous...) Whoopi Goldberg was a great host and I was craaazy happy about the wins. Emily, Felicia and I dressed up as we always do for awards shows. I broke my dress and had to change. Oh well... The most important facts of the night: LAURA BENANTI AND PATTI LUPONE WON!!!!!!!!!!! I was crying for Laura because its her 3rd nomination and 1st win and no one thought she would win because everyone thought it would be the actressess from South Pacific or In The Heights. She was adorable crying and stuttering. "I love being married to you!!!!" - to her husband. Haha. Kristin Chenoweth was a presenter and also soo cute. I also added South Pacific nominee Kelli O'Hara to my diva list consisting of Patti LuPone, Kristin Chenoweth and Sutton Foster. Our friend Noah Weisberg was great in the ensemble of South Pacific and he looks good (even though he cut his Jew-fro. So sad...) OMG! Alec Baldwin actually said the name of the Scottish play at Radio City!!!! Ooops. For you non theatre people (what are you doing on my blog then? JK...) that's Macbeth. *gasps* Its terrible bad luck to say in a theatre. Same as whistling. DON'T DO IT. You may think its funny but theatre people (including me) are totes superstitious and you will get the look of death. For a list of all Tony winners:



Onto the puppets...


Emily and I made the absolute funniest vlog EVER. Which by the way, episode 1 part 1 is done and should be up.... eventually. We re-enacted (sp?) the musical numbers "What Do You Do With A B.A. in English/ It Sucks To Be Me" and "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist" WITH SOCK PUPPETS!!!!!! F-Alarious!!!! BTW, I'm off to NYC on Thursday to see Gypsy and possibly South Pacific. Emily is seeing Gypsy and Spamalot. YAY!!!!! Well.... we're gonna go watch A Chorus Line now.

p.s. I'm done with my old private school and on to the big bad world of public high school. Should be fun. :)
