The Tony's
I like the theater... but I wouldn't consider myself a theater person.
When I was little, my parents would get season tickets to Jones Hall, which is where the travelling shows would come when they came to Houston. (It all started 'cause my mom wanted to see Phantom the first time it came to town). So we sat through good plays and not-so-good plays ("Once on this Island" anyone?... ugh... horrible)

And as much as I love the thrill of Broadway -- it's kinda difficult and a pain in the ass -- unless you've got your parents to do the work for you.

Matt and I don't really go to the theater. Not 'cause we don't want to, but because it requires forethought. And you work as long and as hard as we do, it's tough to be good as forethought from a personal-life perspective. (THIS is why I was horrible at planning my wedding).

So anyway -- I digress...

Since my parents have been living here, I've gone to see a bunch of plays. I ended up seeing many of the plays nominated for "Best Musical" and "Best Revival - Musical". Watching the Tony's this year was actually fun. I cared who won... I had a vested interest... I had SEEN the plays.

Good times!

I highly recommend "Passing Strange" and "In the Heights" -- both are amazing, with awesome sound tracks.
