All These Blank and Tranquil Years . . .

Moving, moving, moving along.

After two breakdowns this week and endless discussing of my graduation. I am putting that one to rest. Done!

I have been going to therapy and enjoying this little adventure of exploding emotionally once a week. The support group is back too. I joined the GMHC and will soon be getting free lunches every time I am in Chelsea. Oh to be poor and in a system.

I'm getting over the fact that I feel like I'm using the system. I am poor and unemployed. The government has systems for me. I will use them. I am slowly applying to jobs, nothing serious yet. I have an interview.

This is a plus. A possible job so quickly. I know how to survive this jungle. Tra-la! So much to do and the Tony Awards are coming up. Oh hurrah, they have become more sad than ever.

Yay for Next To Normal

Yay! Alice Ripley! This is your year and no one deserves it more than you! Belt your raspy heart out to the Tony Awards!

Hurray for getting 11 Tony Nominations, may it improve ticket sales endlessly!

And for [title of show], I'm glad you got one nomination and may you win that one!!

For Those of You Who Missed Her...

Fear her.

I cannot wait to read Post-Tony Articles about Patti. I mean what else can you write? I think she should end Act I of Gypsy now by breaking Louise's neck. Cause in the Tony's it seemed as though she just may. Which I loved mind you.

Patti is the Winner and Don't You EVER forget it.

People will disagree, but she won anyway. Here she is boys.

Tony Nominations

The Tony Nominations came out yesterday and here's my view on it all:

So the top four this year are: Cry Baby, In The Heights, Xanadu and Passing Strange. I've seen three of the four and I know that as justified as it would be that Xanadu would win. A year ago to this day people were laughing at how it would close before it opened. Tsk, tsk on you Broadway.

My pick for Best Musical will be:

In The Heights

Then there is Best Play. I don't even need to begin to say August: Osage County will win for sure. It's between Amy Morton and Deanna Dunagan for best Lead Actress.

My vote goes to:

Deanna Dunagan

Best Musical Revival is a tough one this year. Commercially it will go to either South Pacific or Grease. But if the Tony Committee were made up of one person, and that person was I. It would go to the stunning:

Sunday in the Park With George

As for best actor. I have seen several of them and if we were voting by cuteness. Daniel Evans will win. But since that's not the primary judging criteria. They will vote on talent and another sexy man will win: Paulo Szot

I will end these predictions with the final and hottest category. Best Actress in a Musical. This year is difficult. You have the legendary, against the ingenue, against the dark horse, against the boring, against the British. Of course I know who I want to win:

Patti LuPone.

Or as she's now known:

Madame Rose

Big River in Sign Language

Why doesn't the Roundabout do something like this again? Instead of focusing on their Star power...

This just blows me away...I wish I had seen it...Oh wait, this was the last year the Tony Awards was ever decent...
