It's almost Opening Night, Ya'll!

We've been blowing up the internets.

Side by Side by Sondheim opens this Friday night, March 12th and I've had to explain to a few friends:" ok this is a musical revue. I will be singing and sometimes dancing." A few of my friends have never heard me sing so I feel the need to remind them of this since I know they're not the biggest of musical theatre fans, and I don't wanna send them running down Washington Blvd. But this is Sondheim, folks.

I remember when I was about 12 years old listening over and over to the cassette of the original (british) cast recording of Side By Side. I might have been obsessed. Might.

Now I'm living the dream, and to make it sweeter, in the steps of two of my favorite 80s tv characters: Alice & Vera (yep, Linda Lavin & Beth Howland). They originally performed two of the songs I'll be singing: The Boy From & Getting Married.

Alice trivia sidebar: my mom went to college with Celia Weston who was Jolene Hunnicut from '81-'85.
