ceebeegee | Love...Will...Find...You

Tesse and I saw The Wedding Singer yesterday. WHAT a fun show. I can't stand the '80s and I loved it. LOVED IT. Laura Benanti BRINGS IT--I know she has a bad rep for missing shows but thank God she was there last night--she is truly an inspiration, she makes me want to find out who her voice teacher is. Her voice is similar to mine (both lyric sopranos) and I studied a lot of her stuff in Swing! for audition songs. If a trained legit soprano like her can do pop songs that convincingly, so can I.

Yesterday was an '80s fest, because I watched Working Girl on AMC last night. That movie really is a modern classic. Melanie Griffith has never looked lovelier, and nicely underplays the role. It's interesting watching the movie now that I have experience in mergers and acquisitions--I can actually understand the plot. And I love Harrison Ford's performance--he's really such a generous actor, and allows himself to be upstaged by Sigourney and Melanie. (He will always be my Star Wars BF, although I am extremely disapproving of his friendship with Roman Polanski.) Bart's favorite line is Sigourney Weaver, talking about her hoped-for proposal from Harrison Ford: "We're in the same city now, I've indicated that I'm receptive to an offer, I've cleared the month of June... and I am, after all, me."

Jose Llana is singing "My Unfortunate Erection" from Spelling Bee, on AccuRadio right now. I've met him--he's super-nice. Very cool guy.
