Bernadette or Patti?

I was crying this whole time! I can't! "WHO CARES!! THE COW IS GONE!"

Watch What Happens

Patina Miller as Leading Player in Pippin (2013 Revival)
Patina Miller was amazing in this show! I listened to her Sister Act recording over a hundred times. And I came to love her even more in this role. I personally prefer her over Ben Vereen as the Leading Player *SIDE BAR: I honestly don't understand why everyone was getting so hype about him as the Leading Player. I didn't think he was that good, he sounded like a pedophile, especially in Magic to Do. I had a nightmare about that it was... Never mind anyway: SIDE BAR* Miller is a genius and I can't wait to see what her next project will be. FUN FACT: My old teacher (Old like I used to have her she is still very young) her brother and sister-in-law were producers for this show!!! They won a Tony for Best Revival of a Musical!

A Star is Born: Michael C. Hall

He has such a beautiful body. I mean look at this
He's such a beautiful creature! To quote a comment on this pic "That's no Angry Inch ;)" Amen to that sister!

Besides, being a beautiful creature he is also the face of the charity Somalia Aid Society's Feed The People. This charity takes food and sends them to starving people all over Africa last year they sent food to over 36,000 starving people. And on a very serious note, in January of 2010 Hall was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma it was a very upsetting time for him. Considering he was 38 years old and his father died from the same type of Cancer at 39. Luckily they found the cancer at it's early stages and as of April 25, 2010 Hall announced he was fully in remission.
Hall accepting his Golden Globe for Dexter wearing a beanie because he was in Chemo.

Because Hall became a cancer survivor, he thought it was his duty to help spread the word about cancer. He is the celebrity spokesperson for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's "Light the Night Walk" fundraising campaign. And he continues to donate money to charities that help research a cure for Cancer.

Michael C. Hall has a beautiful body (A really beautiful body) and a beautiful heart. You can CURRENTLY see him right now on Broadway in Hedwig and the Angry Inch


Hall is more known for his TV show Dexter, but he does have many theater credits to his name (Duh, or why would he be on here.) Broadway: Cabaret [Revival] (Emcee) {Replacement}, The Realistic Joneses (John Jones), Hedwig and the Angry Inch [Revival] (Hedwig) {Replacement} Off-Broadway: Mr. Marmalade (Mr. Marmalade), Corpus Christi (Peter et al.) Shakespeare in the Park: Henry V (Earl of Warick), Timon of Athens (Caphis), Macbeth (Malcolm), Cymbeline (Posthumus Leonatus) National Tour: Chicago (Billy Flynn)

Unfortunately Michael C. Hall has not been nominated for any Tony Awards :( But as a conciliation prize here's some more pics of his hot body!

5, 6, 7, 8!: Countdowns To Be

1. Starting December 26th, 2014: The Last Five Years Movie Countdown
2. Starting February 14th, 2015: Tony Award Nominations Countdown
3. Starting April 29th, 2015: Tony Awards Countdown

Unexpected Song: Maybe This Time

I really like this song. I would never sing it (Eh, maybe) but I just love the simplicity of it and I think that's what makes it so beautiful. It's not about having these crazy riffs it's about "This is how I feel, plain and simple".

Julie Andrews: She sang this on her TV show The Julie Andrews Hour (When she lost her voice the world lost a great singer.)


Kristin Chenoweth: She's performing this song on her Coming Home Concert/Album. She's utter perfection and I love her! I have never hated her in a role.


Liza Minelli: Sally Bowles (Movie Adaption) I'm not a big Liza fan, I appreciate her I'm just not amazed by her. But I do think she did an awesome job with this song. And she also won an Oscar for it.


Ruthie Henshall: She would have made a great Sally when she was younger.


Samantha Barks: She played Sally in the 2006 London Revival (Replacement) *Note: I know the Audio sucks in this and I'm sorry*


Susan Egan: She played Sally in the 1998 Broadway Revival (Replacement) She is amazing and I love her!
