so jas & i just got home from seeing young frankenstein the musical at the paramount theater. it was wonderful. thanks to 2 of the best people ever (rob & kelly...love you guys and not just for your ticket magic) we had amazing seats and a perfect view of the stage...well at least I did, jas forgot his glasses so things were just a bit fuzzy for him.
i loved the whole show. the sets were amazing, the music was great, the humor was smart, witty and bawdy (much more than the movie). the dancing & singing were incredible. i'd happily go back a couple more times.
jason liked the show a lot but...
he's VERY attached to the characters in the movie and he felt disappointed because the actors in the musical didn't induce the same feelings in him as the actors in the movie did. i agree with him that they didn't, but i didn't expect them to. the movie is a classic, the actors in the movie were ALL pure geniuses who could top that?
jas did say he didn't feel like it was a waste of time...high praise, huh? well, maybe he's just tired. i could easily waste more time seeing it again and again...now if i could just get jas to pay for it.
a few things are for sure, i will be getting the soundtrack once it's out and i will be singing along to puttin' on the ritz! oh yeah and i love jas, even when he's tired!

i'm glad jason didn't hate it...

It was terrific, I must agree.
Sounds like you all are enjoying your summer!
