papa, can HUGH hear me ?
i've failed my readers... i've failed myself...
i was unable to attend HUGH JACKMAN, BACK ON BROADWAY's first preview... this is MY JOB... i KNOW you depend on me...
but, please understand...
many things kept me from HUGH tonight... many...
i could pour my heart out to you... i could... you'd learn more about me... and, in your listening, i might learn something about you... but, the truth is...
i'm not even sure who you are and that would be strange all around... i mean, how much do you really need to know about me? we shouldn't be rushing into anything... best to take things slow...
but, i DO apologize... and i offer TWO acts of contrition...
1. i will post my ALL-TIME favorite picture of HUGH JACK MAN... i swear, i will... i swear... in fact, i will post it RIGHT now... right here... right under these words... here goes...
ok, that was easy enough...
2. number 2... is a LOT more personal... i will share words, i will share feelings... not quite poetry... more, as the star of SHANGHAI SURPRISE would say... LIKE A PRAYER...
a prayer... as i face the scrutiny of my fellow theater bloggers... a prayer... as i await the wrath of my disappointed readership...
a simple YENTYL-esquian prayer...
Can all the words in all the blogs
Help me to face what lies ahead?
The trees are so much taller
And I feel so much smaller;
The moon is twice as lonely
And the stars are half as bright...
Papa, how I love HUGH...
Papa, how I need HUGH.
Papa, how I missed HUGH's
Goddamn FIRST PREVIEW night...
<flicker... flicker... puff>
again...sorry guys ! we'll always have GODSPELL !
What's the purpose of reviewing a show you didn't see?

So, have you seen it yet? I am really wanting to go, but won't if there is any swearing or crude content. Can you tell me if there is? If it is clean, I am on the next available flight! Thanks in advance!!

Seriously? This is the most annoying post ever. I cannot take your writing and I learned absolutely nothing reading this.
