- Hedwig and the Angry Inch (stage version) — Phenomenal! Really funny, sometimes bad sound quality. Totally great though. I just feel for it much more than the movie. There's something about a stage show with one person telling a tale. You don't need all the extra scenes, you just need that energy to get you through. The ending was great, when Hedwig turns into Tommy, it just explained a lot to me. It also made more sense to me than the movie.
- Sweeney Todd Revival — It was so great to see Patti back on the stage again. I remember seeing it in 2005 and hating it. I was in a much different place in my life though. I wasn't happy. Watching it again has made me realize how much I adore it. It's a brilliant revival. All the characters are played very well and with a touch of craziness. Watching it through something struck me about the ending. That I never thought of. It's just a silly little fact, but it made things a little more interesting.
- Chess the 2003 Concert Version — Funny show. I still enjoy the Swedish production more. It was great to finally hear. Yet something lacked...oh yes the ending. The DVD cuts out right before the final song. I don't mind, I got all I needed from it. The extra songs they added is what I mean. That's all I needed to hear, really. Otherwise it's kind of a snooze, but fun to watch. The Swedes do it so much better because it's a full out production. Sure you can't understand a word, but it's so fun to watch.
In other news, it's been go-go-go in life. Tomorrow will be the third day I don't get proper sleep. It's how it works. You sit there and say, well if he has no free time, then how is he watching musicals?
My answer is, while I write my paper, while I sew my beret, while I do things. I envy those who "have time" I look forward to it someday soon. Finishing this paper tonight has assured me sometime.
I was going to write more, but I got distracted...DAMN!
