Love Being in Good Company

The vocal ensemble that I sing with is gonna be performing a choral arrangement of 'Transylvania Mania' from Young Frankenstein: The Musical.

I'm personally really excited to sing this song. its going to be really fun!











One of my favorite people posted this screen shot from Parks & Rec on a page that members from our group have access to...

Which, is A) Hilarious writing to begin with, and B) an explanation of a lyric that is mentioned in the actual song.
"Everybody's out there doing it, millionaire and schlemiel"

After the original post of the screen shot, a friend, and fellow member posted this comment:
"I love that you used a quote from Nick Offerman, who is married to Megan Mullaly, who was in the original Broadway cast of Young Frankenstein which features... Wait for it... TRANSYLVANIA MANIA."

YES! I wanted to post that EXACT information! I love that I surround myself with people who are obsessive about the Musical Theatre trivia as I am! I just wanted to share how wonderful my friends are!

On a more more bragg-y note.. I saw Young Frankenstein the Musical in its pre-broadway run in Seattle. It was an awfully long trip for a very high gloss production. It wasn't the best ever, however, there was some fun music (Transylvania Mania being the highlight) and also to see such wonderful talents. Sutton Foster, was the absolute highlight.
Do you like to surround yourself with like minded people? what shows did you get to see before a "hit" or a "flop" made it to the great white way?
