‘We Are Magic’
Sigh. Last night I made my way out to the Helen Hayes Theater to catch one final performance of the amazingly fun show Xanadu after learning that the show will be closing this Sunday night. I’ve been a huge fan of the show for months and simply had to make my way out to see it one last time before it leaves Broadway:
The show, as always, was hilariously funny and very entertaining … I just love it to pieces. There were a few little changes and additions with new ad libs thrown in for good measure. Whoopi Goldberg, who did a 2-week stint in the show last month, was used as a joke near the end of the performance and mention of “Harry Potter showing his ‘magic wand’” in Equus (playing at the Broadhurst Theater across the street from the Helen Hayes) was also thrown into the dialog. The show is just so funny, so well acted … I’m bummed it’s leaving Broadway. After the show, I got to say a quick hello to lead performers Kerry Butler (Clio/Kira) and Cheyenne Jackson (Sonny Malone) and snap a couple of pics with them:
Hee hee … they both managed to recognize me even with my new blonde hair and Cheyenne even played with it a little, saying he liked it. Yeah, I died. I also got to meet a few Pink readers … got a pic with Lanz:
And also got to meet his boyfriend Jeremy. I also got to meet a cute girl whose name I cannot recall but found very lovely and sweet and was very happy to chat with.
I had a great night … altho I’m sad that Xanadu is leaving Broadway, I’m happy that it will live on in tours. The show comes to LA next month … Woot!
I leave for LA in a few hours so … I’m actually really looking forward to being home for a change ;)

I’m sorry I didn’t get to meet you last night. I was across the street seeing Mr. Harry Potter’s magic wand. :) In all seriousness though he was amazing and I think everyone should see Equus too.
Xanadu closes tomorrow right? Thank goodness I got to see it last week. It really is a silly, fun show. Legally Blonde is next. Its a shame these good shows are closing.
Have a safe and fun stay in NYC.

I just have to say that your blonde ‘do looks absolutely perfect right now with a little bit of growth on it. (Je pense que c’est très chic!)
