:yahoo: I am way beyond thrilllllled for Mr. Clay Aiken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111!

I am spending tonight in the city with my two grown up sons, and they are suitably impressed. Heeee!!!

Of course, my heart is a wee bit sad for meeee; 'cause, in my world, a trip to NY seems as unreachable as a trip to the moon right now.

But in the Clay Aiken world, where I have occasionally been blessed to visit, the strangest miracles do occur.

Nope, I don't have tickets; but I have a bucket of faith, and absolutely no pride, :wub:

when it comes to my favorite singin' dancin' actin' guy in tights. :flirtysmile3:

This crazy optimism comes from the gurl who went to her very first pop concert in St. Paul Minnesota in 2004.

Anyone living in the vicinity of Broadway want to adopt a well behaved Canadian house guest slave in 2008 who has mucho experience in walking dogs?????

Well, better get started!!!! :praying:

When I get back, there better be a "tights" emoticon waiting....

:bye6:

I called hubby right up, and told him that we are going to NY during spring break week late March. It's a perfect time for just the two of us to go, because we can farm our daughters out to grandparents, and won't have to worry about them getting to school.

Ohhhh! Gibby! Maybe Mr. Muski and I could go during Spring Break, too---just us two (Alex will be in Spain and we can get Carrie to be a gypsy at somebody's house!) and we could meet up for the show and dinner and drinks together---the four of us! :lilredani:

Wouldn't that be wild and wonderful! :manynanas::drinking34: :EmoticonRingAround:

Then...then.....maybe I could make aNOTHER show where it's FCA Debauchery time! Yeah! Yeah!

:DoClay:

Oooooh, Muski, this sounds like GREAT fun!! Hopefully our Spring break weeks are the same. I'll PM you.

EEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee hhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

BOY - Do I HATE being out of touch when big things happen!!!!!!!

I am sooooooooo psyched for this!!!

CLAY IN TIGHTS!!!!

I want to see this multiple time!!!!!

DAMN!!!! I am excited!!!!!!

(And I haven't even read the blog yet!)

Isn't Mike Nichols Diane Sawyer's husband?

It pays to have friends in high places!!!

My head is spinning and I don't think it's just from this news (I feel like crap) but I'm definitely going to go, for a freaking week to NYC... have to figure out this time share business and do a trade but eeeeeeeeeeeee. Now to figure out a time frame... but what a great problem to have!!

Count me in on this one FOR SURE!!!

Ok, I haven't read all the pages but....

MAYBE WE CAN TRY TO GET AS MANY FCAers TO COME AT ONE TIME!!!!

Seriously. We have time to plan. I bet we can find some time when as many of us as possible can make it to NYC.

Just make it over a weekend so I can come without taking a day off cause I can't take a day off!!!

Otherwise, I'm easy. I'm only a train ride away!!

The lyrics to Sir Robin's solo. Clay has a lot of memorizing to do!

You Won't Succeed On Broadway Lyrics

ARTHUR:

Have you heard of this "Broadway?"

ROBIN:

Yes sire...and we don't stand a chance there.

ARTHUR:

Why not?

ROBIN:

Because...Broadway is a very special place,

filled with very special people,

people who can sing and dance, often at the same time!

They are a different people, a multi-talented people,

a people...who need people...and who are, in many ways, the

luckiest people in...the world. I'm sorry sire, but we don't stand a chance.

ARTHUR:

But why?

ROBIN:

Well...let me put it like this.

In any great adventure,

that you don't want to lose,

victory depends upon the poeple that you choose.

So, listen, Arthur darling, closely to this news:

We won't succeed on Broadway,

If you don't have any Jews.

You may have the finest sets,

Fill the stage with penthouse pets,

You may have the loveliest costumes and best shoes.

You my dance and you may sing,

But I'm sorry, Arthur king,

You'll hear no cheers,

Just lots and lots of boos.

ENSEMBLE:

Boo.

ROBIN:

You mahve have butch men by the score

Whom the audience adore,

You may even have some animals from zoos,

Though you've holes and krauts instead,

You may have unlevened bread,

But I tell you, you are dead,

If you don't have any Jews.

They won't care if it's witty,

or everything looks pretty,

They'll simply say it's shitty and profuse.

Nobody will go, sir,

If it's not kosher then no show, sir,

Even Goyem won't be dim enough to choose!

Put on shows that make men stare,

With lots of girls in underwear,

You may even have the finest of reviews.

CRITIC:

You're doing great!

ROBIN:

The audience won't care, sir,

As long as you don't dare, sir,

To open up on Broadway

If you don't have any Jews.

You may have dramatic lighting,

Or lots of horrid fighting,

You may even have some white men sing the blues!

Your knights might be nice boys,

But sadly we're all goys,

And that noise that you call singing you must lose.

So, despite your pretty lights,

and naughty girls in nasty tights,

and the most impressive scenery you use...

You may have dancing mana-mano,

You may bring on a piano,

But they will not give a damn-o

If you don't have any Jews!

You may fill your play with gays,

Have Nigerian girls in stays,

GIRLS:

You may even have some schizas making stews!

ROBIN:

You haven't got a clue,

If you don't have a Jew,

All of your investments you are going to lose!

There's a very small percentile,

Who enjoys a dancing gentile,

I'm sad to be the one with this bad news!

But never mind your swordplay,

You just won't succeed on Broadway,

You just won't succeed on Broadway,

If you don't have any Jews!

Arthur, can you hear me?

To get along on Broadway,

To sing a song on Broadway,

To hit the top on Broadway and not lose,

I tell you, Arthur king,

There is one essential thing...

There simply must be, simply must be Jews.

There simply must be,

Arthur trust me,

Simply must be Jews.

EEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee hhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

BWAH. Is that Canadian for EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeee? WORD!

I've been watching the entire show on You Tube (London version I think), trying to imagine Clay in the role. I think he will be amazing. I mean, I know I've already seen it before, but there's a lot I didn't remember. So I read somewhere that he will also need to play one of the guards, and brother Maynard, because those parts go along with Sir Robin. For the life of me I haven't figured out who brother Maynard is yet.......

Maybe, maybe not, jmh. Some theatre majors on another thread said that you don't always have to audition with songs from the role the producers put you in. He had to sing something from Spamalot, but not necessarily something from Sir Robin's role. We don't know whether he was pursued for this specific role, or whether he auditioned for a couple of roles.

I'm sure he did have to show them his moves. Apparently the most difficult dancing isn't in Sir Robin's solo, but during a group number. It will be great for him to have the opportunity to work a bit with a dance coach for this role. I think he has A LOT of potential in the area of dancing and physical comedy.

Anyway, I'm still sooooo excited for Clay to be on Broadway!!!!! And his remark about the 'caustic judge' totally cracked me up.

Hee. Me too luckiest and now I can't stop :whistling-1:

I even got the soundtrack from my Russian site. :lol:

Always look on the bright side of life... :whistling-1:

Brave Sir Robin. :cryingwlaughter:

He's gonna kill me from side-splitting laughter.

Cotton, just go to YouTube and search Spamalot. There's a bounty to be had.

Sweet tight dreams, everyone! How the HELL am I going to sleep???!
