Goodness, How You Gush!
I have phone calls to return. I have a shitload of journal material to organize. I have three or four jobs that I probably should be applying to.
But, because it's Friday, I can't stop watching these YouTube videos of A Little Night Music at the Kennedy Center that were just uploaded yesterday.
"In Praise of Women"
"Later/Soon"
A slight note: I have the live CD of two of these people doing "Now/Later/Soon" at the Sondheim tribute concert last year, but I actually like Sarah Uriarte Berry better than Laura Benanti, who sang "Soon" on the CD. I think SUB (what awkward initials for an actress taking over the role) is more of an actress, commitment-wise, whereas Benanti's just a beautiful voice who doesn't really communicate the song's emotions as well.
But look at Henrik: He even got the fingerings right! Someone's been watching the movie!
Another slight note: That Henrik's from Forbidden Broadway. His big song was a parody of Sondheim about how they'll never revive Night Music in a million years. Right.
Although, dig that wall-shattering commitment to their roles. I like to play that first song whenever the roommate's coming back from a bad day at work.
Maybe next week we'll be treated to Emily Skinner singing "Poor Baby" in Company. Then and only then will I not get any damn work done.
