My Grandpa Dave told me he was sure he was gay when he was moving into his dorm room freshman year of college and there was a boy “with the prettiest eyes;” after Grandpa passed, I learned from my mother who that boy was.
I’ll never forget an interview that said Judi Dench fears “theatres won’t open again in her lifetime” and there she was… singing send in the clowns… at the Sondheim theatre to a huge crowd! How could I not ball my eyes out every time she was on that stage… what a woman! ❤️
I just witnessed Imelda’s Everything’s coming up roses, Bernadette’s loosing my mind, Judi’s send in the clowns, Bonnie’s drop into the splits, Michael ball as Sweeney, Maria Freedman as Mrs Lovett and the return of Julia McKenzie am I dreaming? I feel like I’m lying but I’m not?
