Wow!! Fun fun FUN! yea, though i am really icked out by the thought of making out with my best friend/ co-writer's boyfirend ryan who is playing the artful dodger. we grew up together, and he's always been kind of a little brother to me, and i really can't think of him as a sexual being because of it. anytime he wants to creep me out, he starts talking about his sexual life with his boyfriend. making out with the oliver will be fun though. he's super-cute.

go kick a little twisted butt borgman when i did rocky horror (how the fuck do i keep getting these kinds of roles?!?!) i would sprint through the theatre in heels during the part of the show i was chasing rocky. people were always amazed by it, the reviews even mentioned it. no idea how or why i picked up the talent, but i am suprisingly much more graceful in big heels than i am in my day-to-day sneaker life.

M if anyone is going to come, come for my co-writer and my christmas special we are working on. it's going to be possibly the most bizarre, hilarious, offensive holiday show EVER. we have anne frank doing a song about hanuakkah where she stops in the middle of the tapp-dancing, shushes the audience and then listens to the floor for nazis before finishing the song. we have god (in the form of the flying sphagetti monster) at the end. we have a drug-addicted donut puppet with a speech impediment singing "silent night" you just can't beat that kind of absurdist offensive stuff.

It sounds really awesome. How are you characterizing Fagan? He's a creepy and lecherous in the original...but, I just don't see that with the awesome costume you'll be wearing. Will you be in that kick-ass red wig too? | |

Will you be in that kick-ass red wig too? probably. i am going to look like a fat marilu henner. as far as character, i am still working on it. i kind of want to play him a bit more schizo than the person i am (probably) replacing was. the script is full of "darling, i love you- I WILL KICK YOUR ASS ORPHAN!" type moments of quick turn from sweet as pie to mean as nails. i almost want to play him a bit less drag queen and a bit more semi-masculine transvestite, like an angry eddie izzard. it's going to be all about balancing the masculine and feminine sides of him. but, i need to see what they want.
