7/10. For penance, I assign myself 3 rewatches and 2 beltings of Santa Fe. (although the ones I got wrong weren't anything that watching would fix, I just like to watch it ;-) )Hey, Fansies! Here you go!

I told DH that our next rewatch needs to be 'Dinner & a Movie' ("pastrami on rye with a sour pickle...").7/10. For penance, I assign myself 3 rewatches and 2 beltings of Santa Fe. (although the ones I got wrong weren't anything that watching would fix, I just like to watch it ;-) )
That sounds so cool! If you ever get a chance to see Deaf West's production of "Big River" or "Pippin" (or, for that matter, any production by Deaf West Theatre), GO! Their musical productions are stellar -- so moving and absolutely riveting. "Big River" changed DH's whole perspective and understanding about ASL -- went in not knowing what to expect and once the show started, he was completely immersed!I REALLY hope Disney does a live recording of Hunchback of Notre Dame. I saw the stage production in Sacramento and it was amazing. They cast a deaf man as Quasimodo and had another man sing for him. It was seriously one of the most amazing productions I have ever seen. The additional music and the REAL ending make it so incredible.

Rachelle Ann Go is in that too, as Gigi. She was Eliza in the West End production of Hamilton and sings on First Burn which is one of my favorite HamilDrops.Last week I was watching Ratched on Netflix. To my surprise and joy, Jon Jon Briones was part of the cast as well. And it reminded me of one of the best performances I have ever seen on stage: Jon Jon Briones as the Engineer in Miss Saigon. For the last few days I have binge watched every video and audio bit I could find of this production And I knew there was a special 25th anniversary performance in 2014, but I didn't know that there was a dvd of this recording. I've received the DVD yesterday and it is one of the best recordings I have ever seen. It is a live performance, but with close ups and onstage footage, like they did for Hamilton. The cast is amazing, Eva Noblezada is amazing as Kim, I've never seen such innocence in a Kim, she sometimes sounds childlike (at the right moments). And I think with Jon Jon Briones you can see that he has played this part so many times over the years, he has perfected the performance.
This made me smile. We are Jon Jon Briones fans, too. Got to see him as the Engineer here in L.A. (you are right -- he's fabulous! And I was so glad to see someone Asian playing that part!) We first saw him in a very small production of Ragtime where he played opposite his wife. That was a lovely production -- you could really see and hear the details. And we've seen his children in a small production of Gypsy. The family has been very active in the L.A. small theater scene. If you get a chance to catch them on your next trip out here, do!Last week I was watching Ratched on Netflix. To my surprise and joy, Jon Jon Briones was part of the cast as well.

Yup. Heard that yesterday. My performer son (who was on contract in Michigan when everything got shut down) is freaking out. His plan was to move to NY after his contract in MI was up and now...?For all you Broadway fans, it was just announced that Broadway will not reopen until at least June 2021. Got this information from DS, who is a professional musician in NYC and although he doesn't work on Broadway, many of his friends do, or rather, did. Many Broadway workers are suffering.
