Broadway is Expensive. Times Square is a pain to walk through. Intermission isn't enough time to scarf down that $12 Watered-Down-Mojito which you can't bring to your seat.

favorite Broadway shows, ten minutes at a time.

So part of the reason I didn't post this till now is because for a time there, I was supposed to do a "blogger's initiative" interview with a member of the cast (which never happened).

Love it! I had a sinking feeling YF was doomed from the start. By the by, do you think you'll be posting your Rent abridged soon? Can't wait to read it!

@Anonymous: That's Gerard Alessandrini. He's a comic genius and I pale in his shadow.@Colleen: Sometime or other before end of month. Can't say for sure when.
