Well, last night was the last musical for the Broadway Rose Theater summer season. Julie & I went to see Night Club Confidential. It was really well done, as always. Not one of my top favorites, but very enjoyable.
It was kind of cool to see a couple of the local actors we've seen in other plays actually in the audience behind us. I have to admit to sqeeeing like a girl (inside of course) when I realized Joe Theissen had just held the door into the building for me. And Julie, the baby-faced actor sitting with him was Bryan Hunt. Ha! I knew it was Bryan! We are such groupies, but from afar. We don't actually talk to them or anything. Gosh no!
I hate it when our theater season comes to an end. Lakewood Theater's season ended in June and we've already seen our first play of the new 08-09 season, Three Musketeers. I had to miss the middle play for Broadway Rose because of my grandma's memorial service, so I feel like it got over really quickly this year.
As those in the know will be able to tell from the title of my post, my favorite musical of the year was Avenue Q. Then The Full Monty. Then Les Miserables.
I just watched the Sweeny Todd movie with Johnny Depp. I thought it was pretty good. It was better than the Phantom of the Opera movie, that's for sure.
I love live theater. Luckily there is always more to look forward to.

Sweeny Todd at the Keller was the BOMB! Did ya see it? One of my all time favorite theatre experiences. I discovered the hearing devices for the first time. Ok, well, Jenn got it for me. But, I tell ya, I will never be without one again. I have a slight hearing disability and this little puppy really helped my theatre experience. I have since seen Avenue Q there and used them again. I didn't need them for Avenue Q but I was ready just in case. My fav Johnny Depp movie is Edward Scissorhands!!!
