I think mine was ILU 486.

I watched this during a break at rehearsal, and it made me smile. :)

There's some dedication there!

Oooh! Awesome.

We're starting our Sweeney Todd soon, a show I've longed to be in for *years*.

[vae]

Oh, that's fantastic. I love that show, and I've never seen it on stage!

[pensnest]

I fell in love with a concert version broadcast on Radio 2 with Dennis Quilley and Julia McKenzie (?), and saw it live for the first time in the Bridewell Theatre, just off Fleet Street. Awesome stuff.

[vae]

Oh my god, it must have been terrifying in the Bridewell, that was so tiny! (I miss that theatre.)

[pensnest]

It was a 'promenade' performance, too, so you didn't have separate seating, but were in amongst the actors. When we arrived we sat on some benches at the side, but for the second scene we were turfed off them and they were used as set. Actors would charge right through people sitting on the floor, who just had to get out of the way! It was tremendously exciting.

Oh man. MANY THINGS, but I love the panache here--and the hollow of his throat.



And illegally adorable KITTIES.





And BUMBLEKITTY, BUMBLING. We are going to presume he pulls out of his dive.



Then, of course, there is the penetrating and absolute truth of this:



This is one of the best guy/guy contemporary dances I've seen in a while, from a season or two ago on So You Think You Can Dance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi1GYQv2Lb0

And this is a mesmerizing solo. For...several reasons. Gah.

Those dances are beautiful. I see your several reasons (!) though I prefer the emotion of the duet. Lovely stuff.

The emotion of the duet is beautiful--especially if you know that the choreographer was in the process of breaking up with his lover during the composition because he wasn't "giving enough time to the relationship" due to his cancer-inflicted mother. D: The judges comment on whether he had just recently endured such an emotional evisceration and he admitted he had; earlier that season he had done pieces associated with his mother's illness. It adds a bit of punch to the routines. :-/

How delightfully weird they are, too.

That is very neat indeed.
