Fantasmic -- a Disney RPG [13 Apr 2008|03:46pm]

kitty17794
see it in your mind
and you can find in your imagination:
mysteries and magic, visions fantastic
leading to strange and wondrous dreams


Nothing is more wonderful than the imagination. For, in a moment, you can experience a beautiful fantasy. Or, an exciting adventure! But beware -- nothing is more powerful than the imagination. For it can also expand your greatest fears into an overwhelming nightmare. Experience Fantasmic -- a journey beyond your wildest imagination.

Maleficent believes she has finally found a way to reign supreme over the forces of good: send them into an eternal sleep! Joining forces with some of the most powerful villians of all time, she casts a spell that sends everyone; villians and heroes alike, into a deep sleep. A sleep in which dreams -- or even nightmares -- can reign supreme over all. For once the nightmares set in...there's no waking up!

Fantasmic is a Disney RPG set to include Disney characters and worlds from all across the years, from Cinderella to Giselle, Jack Sparrow to Mary Poppins. Leading or supporting, big or small, all are welcome in this plot. Characters will be given ways to travel between worlds to interact with different characters in new locations. Anything can happen, leave it to your imagination!



(Timon is still available, of course, and we're looking for applicants for him! :D)

how i got fired (and why it was totally worth it) [08 Feb 2008|07:32pm]

empowereddamsel
[ mood | jubilant ]

So I'm driving to work this evening, minding my own business, and listening to my Sirius radio, tuned to the Broadway station (of course).  After being on the road for about ten minutes, with about fifteen to go until I get there, who would he begin an interview with but......Nathan frickin' Lane.  Even from the first few minutes, it was hysterical and I was like, "okay, I can't just leave my car and miss this."  And then I start to think: how much to I really care about this job?  Turns out, the answer was: not all that much.  Now, I'm not going to try to justify my actions and blame my boss, because it really wasn't a wise decision on my part.  I basically turned around, picked up my friend and fellow Nathan Lane enthusiast, and drove around listening to the whole thing.  But yeah, just checked my voicemail and I'm to come in tomorrow, pick up my last pay check, and hit the road.  *sob sob* Hey, I'm over it. It's no tragedy.  

I don't know if anyone else here has Sirius or is familiar with the DJ stylings of Seth Rudetsky, but he's the main DJ on the Broadway station.  How to describe he's personality.....?  Small, very excitable puppy.  Something like that.  He's really funny and excentric and I love listening to him.  This interview....I can't even begin to tell you.  So amazing.  (or amahzing, as Seth would say)  For one thing, he doesn't really like to discuss plays, I suppose because they don't have any songs in them he can play, so he was kind of glossing over most of the plays Nathan Lane had done and just kind of jumping around to the various musicals.  At one point, he was like, "Ok, I'm going to play such and such song, for such and such reason"  (I don't really remember, but it wasn't really anything to do with Nathan) and Nathan goes, "Everythings a fucking musical with you, isn't it?"  If that paints any picture for you what their chemistry was like.  They kind of jabbed at each other here and there, and it was really cool.  There were some points where they were just both completely laughing their asses off.  They talked about how he was trained and how he got his Equity Card, which caused Nathan to groan and swear profusely.  They talked about Forum, and Assassins, and Guys and Dolls, Frogs, and obviously The Producers.   They talked a bit about him doing The Birdcage too.  It was cool when they were talking about the Producers, because he talked about how Betrayed came to be in the show and stuff.  Seth played 'Sue Me,' 'We Can Do It,' 'Betrayed,' 'Hakuna Matata,' and.... I'm feeling like I'm missing something.  There was so much giggling from the DJ (and from Eric and I lol). 

They also talked briefly about hating Hannah Montanna and how some 16 year old guy tried to hijack and plane and crash it in to her concert.  This amused me to no end.  

Well, I must be off, because I'm still at Eric's house because my parents think I'm at work and I have to figure out a way to explain to them why I no longer have a job.  I doubt they're going to be terribly understanding, but I've said it once and I'll say it again: It was COMPLETELY WORTH IT!!

adios blockbuster

Picture of President Lane [01 Nov 2007|08:32am]

[ mood | frustrated ]

There an article at BroadwayWorld.com showing one of the promotional photos for November they did recently in Grand Rapids, MI at the Gerald R. Ford Museum.

I hope the tickets for this go on sale soon as I can't book flights to New York until I get tickets and I can't book my hotel and vacation time until I get flights!

Further details from philly.com
Apparently not only is Nathan attending this black tie thing in Philly, he and Richard Thomas (most famous as John-Boy from the Waltons) will be performing a piece from "The Lisbon Traviata" one of the first big things Nathan really got noticed for.

The line up looks amazing. I'd give a limb of your choosing to see this!

According to philly.com

Edie Falco, Doris Roberts, Nathan Lane, Richard Thomas, and playwrights Edward Albee and Terrance McNally will be among special guests at an Oct. 22 black-tie gala to open the new Suzanne Roberts Theater (Broad & Lombard).

And btw, can the lovely mods of this community please fix the color scheme? Half the text is white-on-white and therefore invisible!

Thankingyew.

Trumbo [11 Sep 2007|06:01pm]

wastingyourgum
Hello fellow Laniacs,

thought I'd post a couple of articles about a film Nathan's appearing in which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival yesterday.

1) New York Times

2) LA Times

It's a documentary about Dalton Trumbo, a screenwriter who was blacklisted as part of the Communist Witch-hunts of the 50s. Nathan (and others) played Trumbo on stage off-Broadway in 2003 in a play which this documentary has been developed from.

See here and here for reviews of the play (second one has the better picture of Mr Lane looking gorgeous as ever!)

Documentaries rarely get widely released so most of us will probably have to wait (hope?) for the DVD on this one.

Enjoy!

Just out of curiosity, has anyone by a chance read THIS issue of 'The New York Times'? I'd just like to know if it worth picking up, if I'm missing out on anything, you know?

Hey, it's been AGES since I've been on LiveJournal! MySpace sort of took over my life, and I'm sure that there are many who may share similar experiences!!

I am a MASSIVE Nathan fan. I went to The Odd Couple last April. Insanely amazing and my life has been changed. You...didn't want to see me the weeks after April 14th... It got sort of ugly..

On a lighter note, I'm trying to get my damned rents to take me to Butley, as I am a fan of the play and...I mean...who doesn't want to see Nathan in a bisexual role, and with sideburns and his hair grown out? This was supposed to be a lighter note? Well, I'll try again.

Add me as your friend! I'll probably start journaling again because I've had the strongest urge to. Plus, there's incentive - because I've got a ton of Nathan stuff and all the connections on MySpace. By the way..anyone here have MySpace? And if so, are you friends with the Max Bialystock roleplayer??? Crazily good roleplayer, btw. Just a tip. If you want to add me to MS, the link's on my LJ. :-)

I'll definitely check back here, and if I find anything or rediscover anything worth posting here, I'll do it!

Cheers, all!

Chenquieh,
MJ
