As a theater person, I always try to watch the Tony’s even if I haven’t seen the Broadway shows nominated. This year we watched it with friends, their baby and their parents. Neil Patrick Harris has hosted the last three years (I believe) and he is not only an excellent host but also a great advocate for theatre. One of my favorite parts of the whole night was the closing number with Audra McDonald. Enjoy.

Day 240: Fun Stuff
I just discovered that the Huffington Post has a whole section dedicated to “Fun Stuff” !!! Here’s the picture from May 22 with the caption, “Can you spot the teen girls in this photo? One Direction fans, don’t ever change.” 
Day 238: Dog and Elephant Show
Hmmm…May 20th? My only notes to myself? A question mark. Instead we’ll go with this really cute story about a dog and an elephant who are best friends 🙂

Day 229: Sunday in the Park with George (again)
Remember when I wrote that post at the very beginning of the Year of Fun about Sunday in the Park with George and the song in it that inspired the post? Well, it’s back. I’ve been missing that show. The production I saw was Just. So. Good.
Today I found myself writing for work at my dinning room table. Natural light pouring in through the kitchen windows. The dog sleeping at my feet. And I just wanted to hear that music. Rarely do I crave listening to a musical. Yes, I am a “theater person,” but I have never really been a “musical theater person.” Don’t get me wrong, I love music, musicals and singing. But I don’t know all of the musicals or their history or all about Bernadette Peters. I don’t own that many musical cast recordings, and the ones I do own were written in the last 5-7 years (In the Heights, Passing Strange, Spring Awakening, Book of Mormon, etc).
So today I satisfied my craving by purchasing the original cast recording on iTunes and playing over and over while working. Pretty great.
