I'm looking forward to seeing the show this week. I love Broadway shows and it is always great to get a sneak peak at a show. I recently saw Mary Poppins and I cannot recommend it enough. It was FANTASTIC! The stage production, songs, and actors were awesome. I also have seen Company and didn't care for it. To each his own, but it definitely wasn't my favorite. I'm going to see Moon for the Misbegotten with Kevin Spacey June 10th, closing night. I cannot wait. I am a huge fan of Kevin Spacey. I'm not sure how Gone with the Wind will work as a theater production. It is one of my favorite movies, but I'm not sure how it can work. Anyway, looking forward to Broadway Babies on Live.

You might be surprised at how many people love the theater. I personally love theater, movies, and television, so I watch all of the award shows. I love music, too, but don't really get into the Grammys as much. Oh well, to each his/her own.

They're bringing "Gone with the Wind" to the British stage? I guess I understand the themes are timeless (or location-less?), but I wonder how much the British audiences will understand the American South and Civil War history.
