Well, I don't know. Let me think about it.SpringHeelJack wrote:"Once" will likely take Best Musical, which I'm fine with because it's actually a very sweet and lovely show, and not boring, though I guess vague familiarity with the show gives you ample material to draw conclusions from. I can easily see "Newsies" winning for music, however. In a weaker year "Newsies" could have sweeped, but "Once" is a pretty big critical / commercial darling at this point.

100% true. I saw it on The New York Times blog, Then Andrew Keenan-Bolger's Twitter, BroadwayWorld.com, then Newsies Twitter and site before pap64 from here on UD Facebook'ed me about it. It's really staying put!DisneyJedi wrote: Pony use aside, are you serious about that?! That's gotta be the best Disney Broadway-related news I've heard today!
But I'm so happy that you had fun and met all of them!!!

I know, right? Of all the famous people I have met very few make me feel nervous (Asking Kevin Smith something at a Q&A live and in person but also being beamed across North America was one, Christian Borle was another the same trip as Newsies actually) but when I met Andrew it was like 'Oh you were so good' mixed with 'Hey your famous', 'I love your other work', 'I have so much to say!' and a large amount of 'Dear God you are hot! Please consider me for next boyfriend please.'Flanger-Hanger wrote:I'm so jealous Jiminy you got to see the show, get all that stuff and meet the cast!

which made me sort of shaky but I think it went well. The whole cast was very sweet and it seems like EVERYONE in the cast loved the bow tie I had on, that I actually got at 'How to Succeed...' the night before. I really wish I could see everything I saw again as well as everything in New York I missed, plus Newsies about 12 more times. I miss it so much already.
