i think i’m actually asleep. i should be asleep, anyway, but i’m not.
GO SEE JEKYLL & HYDE. Go tomorow night, or sunday afternoon, or next weekend. YOU HAVE TO GO SEE IT.
my expectations were low. very, very low.
it was incredible.
the musical is incredible.
the acting…i just can’t believe how good it was.
mary jo curry – well, i first saw her a few years ago in “anything goes,” and when she opened her mouth and started to sing, i was bowled over. and i’ve seen her in a couple other things, and every time she’s phenomenal. so i already KNEW she would be great in this. and she was.
she was even better, because the music was so good.
but like i said, i knew already she’d be good.
but everybody was good. the woman who played the other lead, her name is Brittany, she was also really good. i can’t remember her last name, and it’s ONE FIFTEEN IN THE MORNING NOW, so i’m not about to go look it up. maybe i’ll let you know tomorrow. she was also in “anything goes.”
but the thing is – joshua ratz. jekyll & hyde. i can’t believe how good he was. i mean, i just can’t believe it. how good he was. i went to gallina’s pizza with randy after the show, where the cast was eating and drinking, and i finally went up to joshua and told him i was a friend of randy’s, and that he was really good.
i know he heard this all night long, a string of “you were fantastic”s, but i had to tell him anyway. because he was.
i had such very low expectations of the show.
it was so good.
i wish i could find a few more colorful adjectives, but this is the best i can do after one a.m.
amanda neubauer, who was also in the show, is going to go running for 10-12 miles tomorrrow. how does she do that?
randy was also really good. he had to be mean, and he was good at being mean, even though he’s the nicest person i know.
eric huber was also very mean, and an absolute BASTARD, and he’s also the nicest person i know.
they were all good, but especially joshua ratz.
he’s in law school (HOW CAN HE GET HIS HOMEWORK DONE WHILE HAVING THIS HUGE LEADING ROLE????). I really wanted to say to him “why don’t you forget about law school for 10 years or so, and just pursue this acting thing, since you’re so extraordinary at it?”
instead, i just told him how good he was. one of the legions of people saying that.
i must sleep now.
go see the show. i’m going to go again, because it was so very good.
good night, good night,
grace completely delirious with fatigue, and i’m not sure how i’m managing to type at all, but i do have to say that the typing is going much, much slower than usual.
