I got my mom new shoes for Mother's Day, and she also requested that I sing her something, so later, I am going to sing "Not While I'm Around" to her. Completely decontextualized, of course, hehe.
From yesterday--
Jose wrote--"DR Maya - That "Dear Writer" song is truly one perplexing piece of music, and I've always wondered how exactly it was supposed to fit in the show - at least in the theme of show. I guess as comic relief. That being said... I know most of that cast as friends, and I saw the show a few weeks ago. Some very touching moments... and some truly heart-breaking moments. I've always loved Sherri Edelen, and her rendition of "Anytime" had me sobbing when I saw it. -And, actually, when Mr. Finn came to see the show, he apparently was crazy about her."
Sherri Edelen was terrific, and I thought her belt was just about as good as Carolee Carmello's! Very moving performance(s). I also thought Donna Migliaccio was just awesome, especially when she sang "Only One," and "Infinite Joy." I got to say hi to her after the show (I know her from Sondheim.com), and she's such a nice woman too!
I don't have any reincarnation stories, but I DO believe in it 100%!
Jed--congrats on a successful "Children of Eden" run!
