I want to see Chaplin: The Musical so bad. Damn you Broadway.com for teasing me like this. 

The show

looks

freaking

STUNNING

I mean seriously. It’s going to win so many awards design wise alone, and it sounds just as good as it looks. It may be the perfect show, at least for next year’s Tony’s. I’m already impressed, and I’ve only seen promotional stuff.

i think all broadway fans are like rapunzel in tangled because there is this one place we just want to go even if it’s just one time in our life, new york city. 

I have decided that I all I want for Christmas and/or Graduation are the following:

• The full set of Marvel DVDs as they currently stand - Iron Man and Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America, and the Avengers - as well as Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and the Dark Knight Rises DVDs. I would like them all nicely packaged in sets according to comic book company they are affiliated with, which of course leaves Batman all by him lonesome - as it should be because the Dark Knight rides alone.
• All of John Green’s books - Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherine’s, Paper Towns, and The Fault in Our Stars. 
• Librettos for: The Book of Mormon, How to Succeed in Business, [title of show] (oh wait I already have that one :)), Spring Awakening (I might have this one, I don’t remember), 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Avenue Q. As well as hard copies of: Seminar and Peter and the Star Catcher (if either exist)
• The Barnes and Noble hardbound editions of: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, and Grimm Fairy Tales, and Alice in Wonderland.
• And a plane ticket to Europe/New York and reassurance that I’ll never come back to the West Coast for the rest of my life.

All of this seems reasonable right? I don’t feel like I’m asking too much, I mean it IS Christmas and my Graduation from college. Yeah, I feel like I’m being very reasonable. :).

Next to Normal by tdylan

Things I have learned about myself recently:
I absolutely CANNOT listen to End Duet/Transformation from the 1994 Cast Recording of Beauty and the Beast while driving. Why can’t I listen to this beautiful piece of Broadway while cruising down the highway? Because it makes me feel all the feelings, and in feeling all the feelings makes me cry….and I’m not talking single tear of beauty cry….no I’m talking about unredeemable UGLY crying. Tears-streaming-down-my-face- blotchy- red-puffy-cheeks-type of crying. How do I know this? It happened, well almost happened, today. Luckily I stopped the feels before they could be felt, but I felt them coming on while I watched Belle (Susan Egan) holding a dying Beast (Terrence Mann) in her arms while telling him that she loved him -which means I FELT ALL THE FEELS -and it would’ve been extremely inappropriate to break down at that red light for that reason so I changed the song. I SAVED MYSELF, okay? I did what I had to do. 
So lesson learned, I will not be listening to that song while driving anytime soon. It’s just not safe for humanity.  
**Same can also be said for: If Can’t Love Her from the same soundtrack, because that one legitimately happened as well and it wasn’t okay.**
