Theatre News Roundup: 9/7-9/8

Hello my dears,

No plays to report about today. I'm actually just back from a new workout class. What? Yes, you read that craziness right. My abs are the weakest in the group but I had fun and my heart has finally stopped trying to beat its way out of my chest in protest. Maybe next time I'll be brave and take the stairs 16 flights up to the room. Ahahahaha. Let's not go overboard. ;)

I know you're disappointed in the lack of theatre in my life so how about this? I finally listened to the cast albums of Avenue Q and title of show all the way through. I know. What took me so long? I'm not sure if I would have fallen in love with them in the theatre but I enjoyed them as albums.
