Friday Night

So we were watching this very unmemorable biopic -- De-Lovely, the life of Cole Porter, with Kevin Kline and Ashley Judd as Cole and Linda Porter. And in one musical sequence, there's this very handsome, open-faced young man, smiling and full of life, singing Night and Day in rehearsals with Cole. And I'm looking through the IMDB entry, and ...

... it's John Barrowman. *g*

Damn, he was good.

He's not a great actor, but as a performer, he's outstanding.

I believe he released a whole Cole Porter CD. He broke out with a role in Anything Goes.

Hi! John Barrowman is lots of fun, oh yes.

Me, I'm in bed, and the Mr's reading, and the wind is blowing outside and I'm gonna play some sudoku and go to sleep. See y'all tomorrow!!

Barrowman is amazing in musical theatre. He did a Sondheim review on Broadway in 2000 with Carol Burnett, George Hern, Bronson Pinchot, and Ruthie Henshal that was a so so good. It's actually worth owning the $20 DVD. And I'm one of those who love him but think his acting is really rather cheesy.

**shrugg**
These will make you smile.

I intensely dislike musicals, but John Barrowman is good enough to make me overcome that. He was made for musical theater.
