    A Family That Dances Together…

    So there is this article that has been floating around social media lately about a group of Moms and Dads who joined their kids at dance class. Siblings joined in the fun, too. What’s interesting about, not only this article, but some of the comments that come about with the sharing, is how critical those…

    REVIEW: “On Your Feet The Musical”

    If you have the opportunity to see On Your Feet The Musical​, do NOT pass it up! I guarantee you, the “Rhythm is Gonna Get You” right from the start of the show. And it’s not gonna let you go!

  • REVIEW: Evita (Oriental Theatre, Chicago)

    By now, regular readers of my blog should be aware that I have a background in Theatre.  I’ve been in shows; I’ve worked tech for shows; I’ve done front of house for shows; I have an MA in Theatre.  So, living in Chicago should be quite the jackpot for me, right?  Well, unfortunately, I don’t…

  • Golden Globes Awards

    Tina Fey and Amy Poehler!  Yay!  I’m really excited about having them as hosts…I hope they live up to it. Again, Tina looks beautiful.  I’m a little undecided about Amy’s dress. Oh, Amy just dissed James Cameron BIG time…”I haven’t been following the controversy over Zero Dark Thirty, but when it comes to torture, I…

  • I am super-dee-duper-dee excited!!

    If you’ve been keeping up at all with my Dancing With The Stars recaps, you’ve probably figured out my new obsession with all things Katherine Jenkins.  Mostly, I’ve fallen completely in love with her music.  I’ve worn out pretty much every youtube video I could find. (Yes, I know it’s not really possible to wear…

  • Kate McKinnon added to SNL – I might start watching again

    Say Hello to Kate McKinnon, Saturday Night Live’s Newest Castmember. This news excites me. For any of you who are familiar with The Big Gay Sketch Show on Logo are probably familiar with Kate’s work.  My favorite McKinnon character is Fitzwilliam, the little British boy who wants nothing more in the world than to have…

  • While others have failed, Andi Marquette turned me on

    Okay, okay…before you let your mind go too far into the gutter, let me be clear.   It’s Andi’s brain that captured my attention here.  Technically, I’ve never met the woman. 🙂  Let me ‘splain. I did a bang up job of staying away from the Twilight craze.  Actually, it wasn’t that difficult.  I mean,…

  • A rare night out…thanks to Anne Laughlin

    I had the opportunity to go out tonight after work. It was funny.  A few weeks ago, I actually asked my mother permission to go out.  I felt like I was 16 again.  Mom, of course, told me to go.  Actually, what she said was, “Carleen, you need a life.  Go.  I’ll be fine.” Kinda…

  • If Julie Andrews is singing on a mountain top, all is right with the world.

    I got this in the mail today.  I ordered it yesterday.  And I got it today. Yay! Perhaps I’m the last to get on the bandwagon – which, by the way, is another great musical starring Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse – but at least I’m here now. This was the Deal of the Day on…
