I had one of the best theatrical experiences of my life this weekend. I just got back from seeing Fiddler on the Roof at my H.S. It was so obscenely incredible, there aren't even any words to describe it. Bar none the best show that AHS has ever done (with the possible exception of Musical Comedy Murders). I cried 3 times. Everything was so beautiful, and beautiful in every way. The entire show was amazing - the acting, the singing, the sets, the lights, everything. I was so impressed. And the guy that played Tevye, Cesar Osorio, where the crap did he come from? Out of nowhere, and he was incredible. Stephanie was incomparable, of course; Chris Gamel was a hot little Jew; Sarah impressed me beyond my dreams; Amy Burn and Amanda (both of them).....WOW. Eric rocks my socks as always. And Jared sang, and I fell to pieces. If they don't win some Tommy Tune awards, I'll be out for some blood. The cast party was great, but I felt a bit out of place (Jared helped, though - he's good at that). I'm still whirling from the experience. I listened to the soundtrack all the way home, and that's 3 hours. I was so impressed. I haven't felt this way about a show since I saw Les Miserables at convention. You have no idea; this show touched me on so many levels. I feel different for having watched it. And that is one of the greatest hings you can acheive with theatre. I think I sort of lost that, since I've been at school, and seeing this show reminded me of it. It made me remember why I love theatre so much, and what theatre can do for people. And that's a big deal. Man, if any of you guys are reading, you blew me away. You guys should be so proud; I know I was.

L'Chaim!
