The Addams Family - [03.09.10]

On Tuesday, March 9, Grace and I saw The Addams Family in its second day of previews.

Our train was a little late, but we still got into Penn at the right time so we walked right to the subway and our train was coming in right then, so we hopped on and went on our way to the York Theatre. We got out at the right exit this time, so we were literally right next to the theatre and didn't have to search for it like last time.

So, we go downstairs and go up to the box office to get tickets to see Yank at the end of the month (my second time!). And I’ll just say, without going into too many details, that I almost had the most awkward moment of my life. Twice. But I got front row seats, so it’s all good.

After that little excursion, Grace and I stopped by the St. James and got tickets for American Idiot. April 8! We're excited.

Then we went to Juniors and had a ninja waiter!!! He was really good because he was constantly refilling my water glass, so that was pretty awesome. But at one point, we were eating our cake and he reaches over the little wall and steals our ketchup (we were at a booth on the end parallel between the bar and the big window overlooking Shubert Alley). So we were like whoa sneaky. Then he puts it back with the same ninja-like move. It was funny.

So then we went over to our theatre for the show.

Our seats were way up in the very back row and I was sitting next to an old woman who thought it was okay to make comments to her husband during the show. No, that's not acceptable.

THE SHOW



It was not the train wreck I was expecting, but it wasn't a quality piece of theatre either. It was fun and I really enjoyed it, but it wasn't great. I think it would have made a better play instead of a musical. You know, since it was apparently necessary to adapt this for the stage.

The score was forgettable. I didn't like the opening number. There were like three (maybe four, tops) songs that I liked. I liked Wednesday's first song, called "Pulled" and the Wednesday/Lucas duet in act two called "Crazier Than You." The "One Normal Night" song was okay. That was about it. But yeah, the score was nothing special.

The plot wasn’t too great either. It felt more like a bunch of interconnected scenes that didn't really have much to do with the main plot. Like, Uncle Fester had this song called "The Moon and Me" which was basically a scene/song about how he's in love with the moon. It was hilarious and really cool to watch, but it fit nowhere in the plot, really. But it was probably one of the best parts of the show.

Even though it was disappointing plot-wise, the book was hilarious. I was laughing so much. So that sort of made up for the bad score.

Costumes, set, make up = A+

The cast was incredible and full of talent.

Jackie Hoffman stole every scene she was in. So amazing. She was just hilarious and had some great lines.

Uncle Fester and Lurch were really funny as well.

Everyone makes a big deal about Nathan Lane. He was good. It was cool to see him live. He was very funny, but sort of the same that Nathan Lane always does.

It was really awesome to see Bebe Neuwirth as well. I thought she did a great job.

I've accidentally stalked Krysta Rodriguez to every Broadway show she's done. Grace has seen everything except Spring Awakening. But I like her a lot. Her voice sounded not as awesome as I thought she was, but she was good. And I think she had a wig in the beginning, but then she did the rest of the show with her real hair. But she was good.

Wesley Taylor! He's adorable. He also has a really great voice that I enjoyed hearing not in a German accent. He had good chemistry with Krysta.

I love Carolee Carmello! She was great, as was the guy who played her husband.

And Pugsley was too cute. I think that's everything.

So, in short: The cast is amazing, the book is hilarious but the plot is eh, the score wasn't that great, and the costumes and set etc were awesome. I recommend it anyway. It was a fun show, worth seeing just for the talent in it. If the ticket price doesn't skyrocket, I would consider going back maybe at the end of the summer to see what has changed. It was only the second preview, so for all I know, the score might completely change.

Then we headed out to the stagedoor and met almost everyone. Carolee Carmello came out, but she didn’t sign. At least not for us. Nathan Lane was the only person who didn’t come out at all, but it was still cool to see him live.

That's it for The Addams Family! Our next 12 Months 12 Musical show is American Idiot on April 8. However, I've seen a handful of shows between this and Billy Elliot and will be doing a review post or two about those, so check back this weekend if you're interested. Shows include: Fanny, Memphis (with Bryan Fenkart as Huey), Yank!, and In the Heights (with Corbin Bleu and other cast changes).

Billy Elliot - [02.03.10]

So, on Thursday, Grace and I finally saw Billy Elliot. We put it off for so long for several reasons.

1. For awhile, it was sort of expensive and sold out.
2. I really hated the movie, so I wasn't about to pay a lot of money to see something that I didn't think I'd like. I thought the story was lame.
3. I didn't think it deserved several of the Tony's it won. And I still do. I justify my thoughts, just read on.

Anyway.

We almost missed our train going in because we were trying to look up subway times to go down to the York Theatre Co. (I needed to get tickets to see Yank with a friend)

Anyway, so we get into the city and the subway we need is pulling in as we're swiping, so that was very convenient. Once we got off, we had trouble finding the actual theatre. It was like below a church or something, but we found it and I got the tickets for Yank and was a very happy girl.

So, we thought about getting dinner at Ray's Pizza since we're trying to expand our eating, but the pizza wasn't very appealing and I kind of wanted chicken fingers, so we decided to just go to.... Junior's! Haha. So, we walked all the way back down there, which involved walking past the Mamma Mia stagedoor. Carolee Carmello was standing at the stagedoor talking to someone! She had her back to the way we were walking but both of us turned around as we walked by to see if it was her, so it was fun to have an actress sighting.

We arrived at Junior’s and had a really cute waiter! We’d seen him there before, but never had him (actually, I did when I saw Rock of Ages, but never with Grace. Um, clearly I go there too often). I saw Alice Ripley go into the Next to Normal stagedoor. I ended up getting a grilled cheese instead of chicken fingers though and then we split the chocolate cake, which is the best thing ever.

After dinner, we didn't have too much time to kill, so we headed straight to get tickets for our next show. The Addams Family on March 9!!! Second day of previews. I'm super excited. Oh, and it was also funny to walk by Carolee Carmello since we knew we were getting Addams Family tickets.

THE SHOW



Billy: Liam Redhead
Michael: Jake Evan Schewenke

So, I sort of loved the beginning because the little boy was SO EFFING CUTE. Grace and I want to adopt him and little Coalhouse from Ragtime. And get them bunk beds. Adorable.

Liam was really good. His singing was just okay, but he was a great dancer and actor, which worked well enough with what the show was.

Michael was my favorite character. He was really funny, and very talented.

Will Chase was phenomenal and I was like so super excited to see him in something. I really wanted to see him in High Fidelity because that's one of my favorite books, but that closed in two seconds, so that didn't happen. But he's awesome.

Carole Shelley was great! Her Tony nomination was well-deserved and I thought she was so funny and she’s truly an asset to the show.

My favorite parts were "Angry Dance" and "Electricity."

The score was okay, and I probably would have been seriously annoyed if this had beat Next to Normal for best score.

The dancing was amazing, which drove the whole show, so that's why it sort of works that the score isn't that great. It doesn't need to be as awesome because it's not really about the singing, which is why it sort of worked that Liam didn't have the best voice.

I wasn't crazy about the book either. [Hunter Bell all the way.]

However, the most undeserved Tony of all was lighting. I mean, really? It was good during Angry Dance, but otherwise, Hair and Next to Normal were definitely better throughout those shows as wholes, whereas with Billy it was just one song. But whatever.

And I can't comment on the best actor thing since I didn't see any of the nominated Billys. But I still support Mr. Creel. But Liam was wonderful and totally deserves positive recognition for his performance (as I’m sure the nominated Billys do as well)

I still consider Next to Normal to be a better overall musical than Billy Elliot, but I have a lot of personal history with that show.

Anyway. Nothing we can do about it now.

But I really liked the show. A lot more than I thought I would. And I didn't think I'd like it because I didn't like the movie -- not because of the Tony's. I'm not that awful. I wouldn't see it again, but I'm glad I finally did see it.

Oh, and now Grace and I have seen all the best musical nominations (and revivals) from last year's Tony's. Yay!!!

We tried to stagedoor, but no one was really coming out. Will Chase walked right by us though. I would have liked his autograph, but oh well. I'm just happy to have seen him.

I’m sorry this review is rather short (and more or less an edited version of what I posted in my livejournal), but things have been crazy. Check back in a few minutes for the write up of The Addams Family!

Next to Normal on 1/3

Next to Normal - 01.03.10

On January 3, 2010, Grace and I officially began our 12 Musicals in 12 Months project. We kicked off the new year by seeing Next to Normal, one of our favorite shows. This marked the fourth time for both of us and the third time we saw the complete original cast. When we purchased the tickets about a month before the show, we picked the date because of convenience. About a week later, it was announced as Aaron Tveit’s final day. Grace and I were very happy to hear that we would be seeing Aaron again, as both of us preferred him over Kyle Dean Massey. As mentioned, my younger sister Katie tagged along on this theatre adventure and I was excited that she would be seeing the complete original cast for not only her first time seeing Next to Normal, but her first Broadway show ever! She was even excited about it and she doesn’t even like musicals all that much.

As it is currently winter break, we were all coming from home rather than our conveniently located Long Island college. Luckily, NJ Transit is the ideal mode of transportation into New York City for both me and Grace, so we were able to meet up on the train and ride in most of the way together. Katie had never ridden the train before and was very excited to ride on the bottom level of the double decker train.



Upon arriving in New York City, we were met with brutally cold winds and walked briskly up 8th Avenue towards Junior’s, our desired lunch destination. When we made it to the restaurant, no one minded the brief wait. We were just happy to be out of the cold.

Lunch at Junior’s was a very fun experience. As it was only Katie’s second time in the city ever, it was clearly her first time at Junior’s. I know it’s a tourist-y type restaurant, but the food is so good that Grace and I frequent the place like it’s an Applebee’s – not that we don’t go to Applebee’s all the time, but you get the point.

Although Katie did not really like the buffalo chicken fingers, she had a good time talking to the waiter, which made the experience one of the most fun restaurant trips we’ve ever had in the city. Don’t worry, we tipped him well for putting up with her.





To top off the meal (and our thighs), the three of us split a piece of chocolate cake, which was delicious.



Some of the cake fell into my tea though.



After lunch, we braved the cold once again to get tickets for our next show. On February 4, 2010, Grace and I will be seeing Billy Elliot. Neither of us have seen it before and it is the only nominated Best Musical/Best Revival show from last season that we haven’t seen. We just kept putting it off for so long, but now we’re beginning to run out of things to see, so we figured it was time. (My aversion to seeing it has less to do with still being slightly annoyed about the Tony’s and more to do with seriously disliking the movie, I promise. And the reason for why I finally agreed to see it probably has less to do with it being the only thing left and more to do with Will Chase. There, I said it.)

Once the tickets were purchased, we made a bathroom stop at the Marriott before taking Katie on an elevator adventure. She had a lot of fun on the outside elevators, but was giving Grace quite the scare when she began jumping during the descent.







We killed our remaining time in American Eagle and Toys R Us before heading over to the theatre. We almost lost Katie on the way. I thought Katie and Grace were both behind me as I walked quickly to avoid the cold, but it turned out that Katie was actually across the street. Luckily, Grace found her and the two of them met me at the theatre.

Once inside the Booth, we purchased some souvenirs. Grace and I split the poster for our dorm (it will look lovely beside our autographed Bye Bye Birdie one) while I bought myself the “Valium is my favorite color” tee and the program book. I’ve decided that when I see it for the 5th time (it’s going to happen, just wait) I want the “Invisible Girl” one.

We made our way to our seats, located in row H of the mezzanine all the way over on the right side. Shortly before the production began, the ushers announced that the three rows in front of us (which were more or less completely empty) haven’t been sold yet and that everyone could move up after intermission. For act two, we were in row D, same three seats on the end.

The show was incredible, as always. From the first time I saw the show last April, it immediately jumped to my second favorite show, but it’s always been special to me and I know I’m incredibly lucky to have seen it four times.

The cast was wonderful and performing at their very best, giving their all on Aaron Tveit’s final matinee. “Just Another Day” begins with a little extra energy because of the day, and draws the audience in for an amazing show.

“I’m Alive” has always been my favorite song in every rendition of the musical, from the 2005 workshop to off-Broadway to the final Broadway production, but on Sunday, I decided that it is also my favorite part of the show to watch, especially with Aaron as Gabe. The energy of the song is just amazing as I watch him swing around on the stage.

Another stand out moment during last Sunday’s show would be “There’s A World.” This part of the show is different from what I remember, with Diana crying as Gabe sings to her. I’m pretty sure that was added some time after the last time I saw the show, back in July with Kyle Dean Massey as Gabe.

As for act two, the show was stellar from its electrifying beginning to its tear-jerking ending.

Aaron Tveit was spectacular as Gabe, and he remains my favorite in the role (favorite of those I’ve actually seen – see the Ragtime review for thoughts on my real favorite Gabriel). And he even looks like a 17 year old with his really short hair cut (which I think is shorter than the one mentioned in the West Side Story review). From his vocals to his acting, he makes me really love the character, even though I’m still on the fence about just how malicious Gabe might be.

Although I considered her to be my favorite in the earlier workshop versions of the show, Natalie’s development in the final product sets her as my least favorite currently. I’ll be honest and say that I’m not Jennifer Damiano’s biggest fan either, but she did give a great performance during the show. Her vocals are okay, but I think she’s a very talented actress and does a good job of bringing Natalie’s issues to audience so her struggles aren’t overshadowed by Diana’s.

Alice Ripley was great, as always. Although I don’t think she was as mindblowing-ly awesome as she was the first two times I saw the show, I still firmly believe that Tony belongs on her mantle – or wherever it is she keeps it. It’s her acting that’s really wonderful. She’s a talented singer, but her vocals are an acquired taste, in my opinion.

J. Robert Spencer is a wonderful scene stealer and the emotion he brings to the show make me feel so much for Dan. If any character’s story was ripping my heart out, throwing it on the ground, and jumping on it, it would be him. I love every minute of his performance and I think it’s truly important that he plays Dan as he does, because his struggles are just as important as Diana’s.

Louis Hobson as Dr. Madden/Dr. Fine is wonderful. I think he’s a really talented vocalist and a great actor as well. In terms of Dr. Madden, I think the way the character is written kind of almost makes him seem like a bad guy, but he’s really just trying to give the psychological perspective on things. I think Louis does a good job with the character and even though he’s trying to do his job as a psychiatrist by recommending ECT and even just by mentioning that psychotherapy works best with medication, Dr. Madden still cares about Diana. He has a heart and truly wants to do anything he can to help his patients.

Henry is my absolute favorite character. Although I was skeptical about the addition of Henry when I was so used to Tweak, I was in love from the very first note of “Perfect For You.” Adam Chanler-Berat is truly perfect in this role and I can’t imagine anyone else as Henry (or even Adam playing another character in another show). Theatrically, he can do no wrong in my eyes. Plus, he’s one of the most adorable actors currently gracing a Broadway stage.

After the show, we left the theatre (I tripped up the steps haha) and went down the stagedoor. We saw there were no barricades, and a few minutes later, a security guard poked his head out and said that no one would be coming out. As much as I love stagedooring, I was secretly happy that we didn’t have to bear the freezing cold temperatures of Shubert Alley for a half hour. Katie was a little bit disappointed that we wouldn’t get the stagedoor experience (as it was her very first show, it also would have been her very first stagedoor), but decided that she would like to see Catch Me If You Can later in the fall so that she can meet Aaron Tveit then (and probably make fun of his pet caterpillar – hey, it’s there).

After chatting with a friend who was there to see the night show, Katie, Grace, and I headed back to Penn Station and caught a NJ transit train back home.

Katie, my musical-hating sister, loved the show. She cites “I’m Alive” as her favorite part and eagerly harassed me about burning the CDs for her when we got home. As mentioned before, she would like to see Catch Me If You Can when it makes a Broadway transfer later in the fall (hopefully). However, the fall is a long way away, so hopefully she will be joining us on another theatre adventure this summer before she goes away to college.

I’ve even caught her singing “I’m Alive” around the house. I’m really glad we finally have something cool in common.

I know it’s been around for a little while at this point, but if you haven’t seen Next to Normal yet and you’re looking for a powerful, original (original? On Broadway? What is that?), and truly wonderful piece of theatre, then give it a chance. Or, even if you have seen it, why not go back and see how Kyle Dean Massey handles the role? Maybe you’ll even get to see an understudy in one of the other tracks. I think I’m the only person I know who actually gets excited to see understudies. I hope not though!

Anyway, if you haven’t seen the show yet, go. You won’t regret it. Just don’t forget to bring some tissues.

Memphis - 12.10.09

Better late than never! The video post of Ragtime will be up soon, as well as a written review of our first show of the new year, Next to Normal. The video blog about that will probably be recorded and posted towards the end of the month when we're back at school, so keep checking back!

Hello again! On Thursday December 10, 2009, I rushed Memphis with my friend Jen. This is not really part of the 12 Musicals project with Grace, but I love the show and it’s definitely blog-worthy. Just a written part with highlights of the day and a heavy focus on the actual show.

HIGHLIGHTS

1. I arrived in the city around 11:00, which is around the time when that shooting went down. I walked up 8th because it’s less crowded than 7th/Broadway and was almost run over my cop cars. I had no idea what was going on. I actually didn’t find out what happened until closer to 1:30. So, when I tried to get into the Marriott to go to the bathroom, I was very confused as to why there were so many cops.

2. I saw them putting up signs in the Lunt-Fontainne for The Addam’s Family! Definitely on the list for the spring.

3. I tricked my friend Nicole THREE times by telling her I saw Aaron Tveit. It was too funny.

a. Sitting in Junior’s, we had a lovely view of Shubert Alley. Mid-conversation, I interrupt to say “Oh my God Aaron Tveit!” Everyone at the table stops and looks out the window excitedly. “Where is he?” …. “Just kidding guys!” They were ready to kill me.

b. Nicole and Cyndi have never see Aaron as Gabe, but they liked Kyle. While they were entering the lottery, Jen and I were separate. I peeked in the lobby to see if there were understudies, which there weren’t. Regardless of that fact, I walked over to the two of them and asked “You guys really liked Kyle right?” They said yes and asked why. I smiled sympathetically and nodded when they asked if he was going on. I only let them be disappointed for a quick second before laughing and telling them I was just kidding. I was getting higher on Nicole’s hit list.

c. Between the time we entered lotto and when they drew it, Jen and I went into a store to keep warm while Nicole and Cyndi waited by the theatre. When we left, I said to Jen that it’d be funny to tell them we saw Aaron on our way back. I almost forgot, but Jen reminded me as we were walking back. So, as we get back to the Booth, I smile. Nicole is looking at me like I’m crazy and asks if I’m okay. I just nod and keep smiling. “Who did you see?” Keep smiling. “Was it Aaron?” Big smile and a nod. “Oh my God!” “Just kidding!!!” It was so much fun. But hopefully, since Nicole met him at the stagedoor, she doesn’t want to kill me anymore!

I learned I am a damn good actress when I want to be.

4. Nicole won the Next to Normal lotto! I also won, and claimed a ticket for a group of three who needed one more. That was my good deed for the day.

THE SHOW

Since we did rush, our seats were in the very front row all the way on the side. We were very close, but for $26.50, you can’t complain. During the club scenes, our view was slightly obstructed by a table, but it didn’t really take away from the show. We still knew what was going on. The first time I saw the show, I was all the way over on the other side, so I’ve gotten both perspectives at this point.

This is the second time I’ve seen the show, so it’s clear that I absolutely love it and there are so many reasons to keep going back (really, don’t be surprised if you see another review in the spring because Grace hasn’t seen it yet).

I absolutely adore the music. It’s fun and catchy and it’s been stuck in my head all day (I actually just ordered the cast recording – it should be arriving at my house around the same time I get home for winter break). My favorite song is “Memphis Lives in Me.” It’s a gorgeous song and Chad Kimball’s voice is incredible. I also love “Someday.” It’s beautiful lyrics and Montego Glover is also amazing. However, I think the entire score is great and fun.

I also really enjoy the dancing. Those boys in the ensemble can do some crazy flips. Very well choreographed.

I like the story too. It’s not just a love story, but it has social relevance to the time in which it’s set. Also, it can sort of apply to today when Huey says, “Suppose two grown adults can marry who they like” or something to that effect. But the serious theme of racism in the show makes it more than just a good time, but also a meaningful piece of theatre.

If I had to critique it, I would say that Huey’s character changes sort of annoy me. In the first act, he’s all gung-ho let’s go to New York and get married!! But, in act two, he wants to stay in Memphis. It’s sort of inconsistent with his character, but I guess it’s just the fame going to his head. But he’s a good guy, deep down and I really sympathize for his character.

The talent in the cast is unbelievable. Every member of the ensemble is incredibly talented when it comes to the dancing. It’s pretty amazing. Vocally, everyone was awesome as well.

Montego Glover as Felicia was so good. She’s beautiful on stage and her voice is equally lovely.

Chad Kimball as Huey. Vocally, he’s incredible. I’m absolutely in love with his voice. I think he does a great job with the accent and general acting for his character. I think he’s my favorite part of the show. Okay, okay, and I think he’s really cute too. I know it’s early, but as of right now, I am 100% rooting for him come Tony season. Only 6 more months…

But, both Jen and I adored the show. I think she wants to see it again too. And I’d go back tomorrow if I could.

STAGEDOOR

Well, at first, we were the only ones at the stagedoor. There weren’t any barricades set up either. But after a few minutes, a small group joined us. Then, a large group of kids who appeared to be on a high school field trip arrived. They were the perfect example of how NOT to act at the stagedoor. They were insane and screaming and pushing and just downright disrespectful.

In case you, reader, were unsure about how to act at a stagedoor, let me give you some pointers based on what these kids did wrong.

1. They are actors, not animals (to quote my friend Amber). There is no need to scream and yell at them and throw your playbill in their face. Ask them nicely and I’m sure they’ll be happy to sign for you.

2. Even though they’re actors, they’re still people. Don’t scream at them when they come out. The only difference between them and us is that they can sing well enough to be on Broadway.

3. If you’re going to ask me to borrow my Sharpie, wait until I say yes to use it. The girl behind me was like “Let me borrow this” and just took it out of my hand to hand to one of the actors. Um, I really have no problem sharing my Sharpie, but ask me, wait for me to say yes, and then I will hand it to the actor. But this girl just took it out of my hand and handed it to the guy (I think it was either Del Ray or Bobby).

4. Just because the actor is “only in the ensemble” doesn’t mean they are any less worthy of signing your playbill. There are definitely more ensemble members in the company than leads, so more of them were coming out first. The dumb, obnoxious, disrespectful (I’ll stop there) girl behind me was saying louder than she needed to “Move along, you nobody, keep moving, you nobody” when the ensemble members came out and started to sign for other people. This was the worst. I was so mad. Just because they are “just” in the ensemble and not a lead makes them no less talented than any of the leads. They are still on Broadway. They still made it. And they have to work just as hard, if not harder than the leads, because a lot of them are understudies. Not only do they have to know their own ensemble track, but the tracks of a lead or two. I’m not an actress and I will never be on the Broadway stage, but I think I can safely say remembering all that is pretty damn hard.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Thank you.

Also, just because they're "only" in the ensemble now, doesn't mean they're not going to be Tony nominated next season. I mean, look at Jenn Damiano. When I first saw Spring Awakening, she was "only in the ensemble." I didn't stagedoor that time, but I certainly wouldn't have turned down her autograph if I had. And look, her next show she gets a Tony nomination. Same for Krysta Rodriguez. She was in the ensemble of Spring Awakening as well as one of the times I saw In the Heights (the other she was Carla -- and I saw her in A Chorus Line) but who knows how big she'll get from The Addamn's Family. Everyone has to start somewhere. I mean, Chad was Milky White in Into the Woods. He was a cow before he was a lead. Don't shrug off the ensemble.

5. Don’t push. They were pushing everyone upwards and crowding the door. The actors can’t sign your playbill if they can’t come out.

I think that’s all. But they were so annoying. Luckily, their bus came and they left before too many people came out.

Despite the mayhem, I was able to get a picture with Charlie Williams, who is my favorite ensemble cast member. He’s super cute and his dancing and flipping skills are off the wall.



I actually don’t have too many pictures because of the cold and the obnoxious group.

Jen and I had a really nice conversation with Bryan Fenkhart. He’s the understudy for Huey, so he wasn’t on that night. He still signed for everyone. I wish I got a picture with him, but he was stood there and talked to us for a few minutes. We talked about his impending birthday, how he doesn’t want to turn 30, and then he said he was going to go home and drink because I said I heard it all went downhill after 21. He was just kidding though. And he said it doesn’t go downhill, which is good because I’ve only got 7 months left of being 20. Haha. He was super nice though. I’d love to see him in the role of Huey though!

We also meant the lovely Montego Glover, who is not only talented and beautiful, but very sweet as well.



Last but not least, Chad Kimball came out. When he walked out to what was left of the crowd, he said hello in his Huey voice. Love. He was really nice too and I got a picture with him. Sadly, my bangs and the wind didn’t want to cooperate during picture time, but that’s okay.



Overall, Memphis is a great show. It’s definitely my favorite so far this season and I’m hoping it really kills during Tony season.

Hockadoo!
