always april in brooklyn.

As a spin-off of the interview meme, this is going to be the FAQ thread.

Ask me anything. Absurdly personal, generally random, anything. And I'll answer in the comments.

ANYTHING.
Let's make this work, people.

Bear in mind, I look really terrible in all of these.

If everyone on my flist MAILS me a dollar, I could see Sweeney Todd close.

Any takers?
Also, if any of you lovely ladies in the city might want to lend me a place to stay that night?


I'm really distraught about this. And I'm really fucking angry too.


OH. AND HEY I HAVE PAYPAL. april.glick@gmail.com is my account thing. :)

1. Are you named after anyone? If so, explain.
Not really, I mean, if you consider the month to be someone.
2. Do you have your children's names picked out already? If so, is there any significance?
I always kind of liked the name Tess (even before OLTL) and I really like the name Thia for girls. I have no idea what I'd name a boy though.
3. If you were born a member of the opposite sex what would your name have been?
My name would have been Matthew Scott... and my initials would have been MSG.
4. If you could re-name yourself what name would you pick and why?
I don't know.... maybe December?
5. Are there any mispronunciations/typos that people do w/ your name constantly?
I get a lot of people who misspell my name "Click" or something, but it's sort of hard to misspell April when it's on just about every calendar in the world.




OH, and I called customer service to sort out my Ticket, and as long as I have two forms of ID (What counts other than a driver's license?) I can get my ticket 5 minutes before curtain. 7th row, center orchestra, babes. SO excited.

So, let's recap this fabulous weekend, now, shall we? All the pictures will be under the cuts.

PS. Got my AP Scores Thursday. Gotta love two 4's for two years in a row. Especially when my Gov essay elaborated on the fact that the power of the House of Representatives is that it REPRESENTS. YES WTF.

My mom is lotto goddess, and this was her first win of 3 this weekend. The Drowsy Chaperone was probably the best show I've ever seen, will ever see, or could probably ever be written. It's fresh and fun and really touching when you love Broadway as much as we all do. Everyone who said that Sutton is not the star of the show is right; I mean, we all love her and she's super talented, but it's Bob, Beth and Danny's show, and for me, a bit of Troy's. See it ASAP.

( I'll be a leading lady if I get my shot!Collapse )

Our Dirty Rotten Scoundrels seats were about row P-ish center. It was incredible. I was so excited to finally see it, and it was incredible, clearly. I think Sherie might have been sick, but it really didn't matter because I finally got to see Norbert and Sherie live. Lucie and Greg did kind of steal the show whenever they were on together, because they were just clearly that amazing. Wow, I just can't sum it up. Whoa, wow. Also, the Ruprecht scene got a little out of hand, and Jon and Norbs both sort of broke character. I laughed SO hard.

( I bring a message from a broad!Collapse )


Woke up a bit early on Saturday to go rush The Wedding Singer and got front row center tickets. Laura's been really sick, and thus out a lot, but was in because it was her birthday show! Kevin Kern was also a black man. It was awesome.

( Linda makes me feel awesome.Collapse )

Before we saw Faith Healer, and after TWS, we went to eat at Junior's on 45th, which has such awesome cheesecake. After that, we wandered over to Q lotto to help Lori out, very last minute, and who should win last (of only 6 names), but my MOM. So, yay lotto goddess Mom.

Faith Healer is an intense show. That's really all I can say. It's very depressing, and it's not a very accessible, but the people in it are intensely talent and incredibly humble.

( Just the way you look tonightCollapse )


Sunday was our sad last day there. Elle was depressed she couldn't see Sweeney, so I called up while hanging around waiting for Laine because the Tarzan rush line was too long so, my Mom and I figured "Sure, let's lotto Norbs last." We grabbed Sami (NEW FRIEND SAMI, HI ILU.), Laine, and Elle, and all entered lotto for kicks. And sure, hey look who should win, BUT MOM. AND SAMI. So we all went to eat. At which point, we all fell in love with each other all over again. And my mom. We love my mom?

So then me and Laine had to boogie out of there because Sweeney has an early Sunday curtain, and we were all giddy to see that Dorothy was going on for Patti instead of Judy (so hey look, an audio of a Sweeney u/s). AND Ben Eakeley went on as The Beadle. He's really pretty. As Quinn stated "It's really weird to be attracted to a rapist's helper." Mano caught me during the playing with string scene and just kind of stayed on me for a good while. I was thrown for a loop. He really is incredible. Dorothy's acting was really really good too, albeit her vocals were a bit off for the first couple of songs. (During intermission, me and Laine met Michael Easton of OLTL and Port Charles fame. WIN.) Lauren met me inside the stagedoor after the show, STILL in costume with Cello and goes "APRIL!? HIII!" and it was awesome. Got my shirt. Went back out to wait with Laine and our flower for Mano.

Broadway-slash-Theatre Friending Meme



Snaps to Claire for doing this.

Oh yeah, and I made icons at thehotelcicero

The Christmas Meme that everyone is doing.

Step One

- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

- If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two

- Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
