I bought the t-shirt.

I saw THE WEDDING SINGER last Saturday night for the second time and broke down and bought a t-shirt before the show even started. I am now an official Wed Head. Sad, but true. I got the classic THE WEDDING SINGER blue t-shirt with the logo, since my daughters had already purchased the "Casualty of Love" t-shirts (pink for Myrna and blue for Trinity).

I have to admit I was rockin' through the whole show. Both leads were off for the night (I think Laura Benanti is off for a while) so Tina Maddigan (the original Sophie in Toronto's MAMMA MIA and a Sheridan College grad!) played Julia and Kevin Kern played Robbie. But I got what I came for -- Amy Spanger was on playing Holly.

Man, she is frikkin' awesome, absolutely riveting. I could watch her all night. She's got a killer voice, she's funny, and her dancing is so powerful and precise. Her portrayal of Holly makes me want to shake the moth balls out of my leg warmers and go flash dancing! Love her! The only downside is that my husband keeps trying to make eye contact with her when she runs up the aisle. This time he succeeded and she smiled at him. Now there's no living with him! I remember seeing her in the original cast of the KISS ME KATE revival and she was amazing. And yes, everyone lept to their feet at the end of the show.

Pong, anyone?
