GASP. A post. If you've been checking this, well…I'm very sorry. I've been busy getting a new apartment; laying my darling (if occasionally troublesome) kitty, Ellie, to rest and adopting a new orange tabby named Lucy; packing up the old over-priced apartment to move to new/old Hell's Kitchen digs; and hosting the bro and sis for visits two weekends in a row. Oh yeah, and there were those holiday things. I had a nice visit to Maryland to see the fam and celebrate Xmas for a few days and came back to NYC for New Year's, which I spent furiously guessing for a spirited (and incredibly gay) game of "Celebrity" surrounded by a group of my favorite people. So, I'm sorry…but not all that sorry.

But now, since I have you here, it's time for some shameless self-promotion. Have a minute? Take a stroll through my recent Broadway.com work! Yeaaah!

Q&A: Josh Strickland, Tarzan I just talked to Josh on Friday and he was a delight — very candid and very sweet. I feel bad that he wasn't acknowledged more for the work he does in Tarzan, because he deserves it. Greater things are in store I think.
	Q&A: Ashley Brown, Mary Poppins Ashley and I are the same age, which made her even more fun to talk to, I think. I simply can't imagine the pressure of being Mary Poppins, but she seems to handle it with grace. And what a voice!
Q&A: Raul Esparza, Company I had been a fan of his since I saw him in Tick, Tick…Boom! in 2001 and it was a huge pleasure to get to talk theater with him. I already knew he was hugely talented and now I know first-hand how smart he is as well. Catch you at the Tonys, Raul!
	FRESH FACE: Christian Anderson, High Fidelity Poor, sweet Christian! If you follow theater, you know that his super-fun show closed not too long after we talked, which is such a shame. He did get a lot of attention for his performance, though, so hopefully there are great things in his future.

Don't you love how they're all staring into space? Up on Thursday is John Gallagher, Jr. from Spring Awakening, which the sis and I went to again on Sunday. Every time I find something new to love and respect about that show and Johnny Gallagher lived up to every expectation that I had from him based on the word around town. See you then!
