Last night’s performance far exceeded any of my expectations. Kudos to Eden Espinosa and Megan Hilty for stepping into the shoes of the show’s original cast members, Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth. The LA girls really held it down! And to top it off, this past March, the Pantages Theatre announced the show’s house breaking record at the end of the month’s first week—the box office took in over $1.7 million, making it the theatre’s highest grossing production in the theatre’s history. With a run like this, the success will only grow.

Here are the original recordings once more for your downloading pleasure:
Idina Menzel–No Good Deed
Kristin Chenoweth–Popular
Idina Menzel–The Wizard and I
Kristin Chenoweth & Idina Menzel–What Is This Feeling
Joel Grey–Wonderful

Ask B. Scott…

One of our faithful love muffins, Randi, from the NY area, wrote in this week asking for some help. Check it out:

Dear B. Scott,

First off I love your site and loved how you gave fashion advice to the young girl for her prom. I have a little bit of a different issue. I am 23 and an account executive for an up and coming Microsoft partner. With my new position I have to wear suits to my business meetings. As a slender woman (not very hour glass AT ALL) I would like your opinion on what types of suits that are fashionable and chic. You have great taste during the fashion weeks and would really appreciate your input. I really can only afford 300 to 400 dollars per suit and would like to improve my collection with 4 new ones. Where would you recommend in NYC or NJ area.

Thanks so much for your time!

Love,

Randi

Novelist Kurt Vonnegut Dead At 84

11167863bsessoms4122007121833pm.jpg

After a fall in his NYC home two weeks ago that resulted in some brain injuries, the best-selling author died yesterday. Vonnegut, widely known for books like “Slaughterhouse 5,” “Breakfast of Champions,” and “Welcome to the Monkey House,” was 84.

What will be missed most by many was Vonnegut’s intelligent and biting satire about the absurdity of war and the questionable advancements of science in the modern age. He relished his significant role as a social critic and lectured widely. A self-professed skeptic of religion and freethinking humanist, Vonnegut claimed, “I will say anything to be funny, often in the most horrible situations.”

Vonnegut served in WWII and was captured by Germans during the Battle of the Bulge. He was being held when the Americans firebombed Dresden and freed him, along with numerous other POWs. Vonnegut had been held in a meat locker named “Slaughterhouse 5,” which later became the title for his most famous novel. Vonnegut attempted suicide in 1984 using pills and alcohol. He later joked about how he’d botched the job.

Vonnegut was a vocal critic of aspects of American society and government. A book published late in his life, “A Man Without A Country,” lampooned the Bush Administration (”upper-crust C-students who know no history or geography”) and questioned the fate of the planet. Vonnegut was a timeless voice whose literary and socio-cultural shoes will be hard to fill, especially at a time when the country needs more outspoken detractors of an incompetent and misguided administration.

Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox-Arquette are unarguably considered Hollywood’s epitome of best friends! It’s been proclaimed since the Friends era that these two girls are BFF4E. At last night’s premiere for The Tripper, Jennifer decided to show just how much she loves her friend with these sappy poses and syrupy sweet facial expressions! But for some reason, it was THIS photo below, that stuck with me:
