I've only seen they tail end of Grey's while waiting for Scandal to start, but I happened to have my shit together early tonight and caught the whole thing. It made me cry, which surprised me considering I really had no idea who anyone was.

Hooray for another season of Bernadette Peters and her Death Becomes Her sorcery.
This is the point where I might say I would, as a gay man, switch teams for her, but let's be real: If I met her I would immediately burst into tears trying to ask questions about Sunday in the Park with George and SMASH.

I think the most famous example from a musical is The Urchins in Little Shop of Horrors.

I am a bandwagonner, because I marathoned this show after I saw Rachel win the Golden Globe, but I am so fucking happy I did. I honestly have never related more to a character, ever, which is kind of scary to think about.
I'm basically going through a weird secret love thing with one of my close friends right now, and…

I was surprised that the theme song didn't start after Paula's "Mother—," but was rewarded with that amazing scene.

"seriously, when was the last time you saw something with a greek chorus?"
Legally Blonde The Musical.

That's how I discovered Alie and Georgia.
"Mercury on your genitals…COME ONNNNN."

Valencia drinking boxed water totally makes me seeth. And I didn't know it was an actual thing when I first saw it on Difficult People.

I've really come to enjoy Jen Kirkman post-Lately.

For a semi-racist Bollywood number, see SMASH.

I heard my Madeline Kahn signal beeping.
I'M COOOOOOMING IIIN.

Can't wait to binge this!
Currently laid up recovering from a burst appendix, so this will be the perfect distraction.
Also more Bernie P is always a plus in my book!

I got into Slings & Arrows after being obsessed with The Drowsy Chaperone for years. It truly is a masterpiece.

Or we could have her actual sister play against type in that role.
Viva la Jemima.

I actually read the book over the summer, it looks like they'll be diving into the international orchestra trip that I didn't care reading about.

The cow as white as milk…

It's my spiritual successor to SMASH.
Mostly because Bernadette Peters is making the same choice to play her role as if she spent the morning drinking a bottle of red wine before showing up to shoot.

I love Tootsie. But that Oscar should have gone to Teri Garr (see also: Tatum O'Neal winning over Madeline Kahn for Paper Moon).

Elaine May is an uncredited script doctor for Tootsie.

Denis O'Hare was doing something this past summer at the McCarter Theater in Princeton. Came into the Starbucks I worked at and was truly the nicest person I ever met. And he kept it simple, getting an earl grey tea.
