I was terribly moved and ended up in tears. I, too, felt like they were looking inside my head. <br /><br />I am ecstatic that it won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. I really didn't know how NYC theatergoers were going to take it. <br /><br />I know it is coming back to the Kennedy Center this season and will see it again.Tawnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-54653003860953286142010-09-14T00:56:29.238-04:002010-09-14T00:56:29.238-04:00The composer and lyricist (who won Tony Awards) cl...The composer and lyricist (who won Tony Awards) claim that this show is just based on a composite of people they know.Is there really a whole play?

I would thoroughly recommend listening to the entire CD (or better yet going to see it if you are somewhere near a production, in which case I am jealous of you). It really is fantastic - beautiful music, and perfectly written, poignant lyrics. The song which always particularly grabs me is 'Make Up Your Mind/Catch Me I'm Falling', in fact I used the lyrics to some of that in my blog the other day. I really can't praise this show highly enough, and I haven't even seen it - I am going purely on the recording. It won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama this year, which very, very rarely goes to a musical.Bippideehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10499124986641789890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-48021161708171484802010-09-10T07:44:49.990-04:002010-09-10T07:44:49.990-04:00Dinah:

I found it hard to watch and yet could not tear my eyes or ears away. I did not really tell Tigerdad what it was about before we went - don't think he would have gone otherwise. But he loved it too.Tigermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15525962425980447155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-25376703163478758912010-09-05T11:06:31.170-04:002010-09-05T11:06:31.170-04:00Kudos to anyone who knows where i got the name &qu...Kudos to anyone who knows where i got the name "Drug Cowboy"....one of my very favorite books!<br /><br /> Now i'm hogging the blog!tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00121763456161256252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-29533694846279447522010-09-05T11:04:11.719-04:002010-09-05T11:04:11.719-04:00The amazing, wonderful, oh so kind and insightful,...The amazing, wonderful, oh so kind and insightful, annnd yes, gay (how great is that?!!), (Sarebear, you got me started!)

Heck, yesterday Stacy London from What Not to Wear was on the Today show, talking about how to get that "Mad Men" look, and they showed the "look" on some models and talked about it. I guess the look is "curvy".<br /><br />I heard Clinton from What Not to Wear refer to the Mad Men thing too when he was on QVC a week ago.<br /><br />It's kinda funny because Clinton reminds me of a cuter, sexier version of my psychologist. Not that my psychologist is gay or anything (Clinton Kelly is).<br /><br />So what's Mad Men about, now that I have an idea of what clothes they wear on the show?

patient "I don't feel anything!"...The:<br />patient "I don't feel anything!"<br />Pdoc "Hmmmm. Patient stable"<br /><br />is what resonated most with me. The Pdoc acknowledging side-effects did not sound real-life to me. I am surprised they did not get in the denials of side-effects that is so common in the profession.Sunny CAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451116932556227816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-51810072580484197882010-09-04T15:47:30.550-04:002010-09-04T15:47:30.550-04:00Sarebear,
