1. Book of Mormon: The best thing that’s ever been through my headphones. The entire album. Phenomenal. It completely deserved it’s Tony sweep. I actually wish it won some more things. Rory O’Malley should’ve won over John Larroquette. And though I absolutely LOVE Norbert Leo Butz and he gave an amazing performance and all, but man. Andrew Rannells. In a perfect world, Norbert and Andrew would’ve tied. It’s hard to choose one over the other. They’re both great. Uhhh… I’m not going to try to decide. Because it hurts me.

2. Next to Normal: I’m going to see the touring company tomorrow! This will mark the first show I’ve seen twice professionally. I’m so excited! The girl playing Natalie, Emma Hunton, is supposed to be phenomenal! And plus, Alice Ripley. She’s been sick a lot on tour, but I’m hoping she makes it for the show I’ll see.

3. My New Hobby: Broadway fan mail! Last week, I sent fan mail to Jenn Damiano, Rose Hemingway (How to Succeed), and Sutton Foster. And a couple days ago, I got a reply back from Sutton! She sent a signed headshot and she signed my questionnaire! I love Broadway fan mail! Every one of you theatre nerds should do it! But, a rule of thumb, you can’t check the mail box everyday. You have to send it and forget about it. I really want to right some more soon. Most likely to some Book of Mormon peoples! :)
