New Blogger and Another Nameless Premiere

The Great Plotnik hired a new blogger this morning (whose identity must remain anonymous due to security considerations), to handle the Celebrity Wire. His first assignment will be to blog from Lost Wages, Nevada, during a particularly interesting convocation of Hollywood celebrities that will be occurring this weekend. We will keep you posted. If we hear one word we'll consider ourselves fortunate.

Meanwhile, Plot and Duck saw another show last night whose name will not go up on the headline. It was SOOOOO disappointing. Let's just say that the only way Imagine Nudnik pause Terrible Horrendous Egregious pause How Ever In God's Holy Trepidatious Silly could have won the Tony award some recent year for Best Musical must speak to the relative demise of the idiom. Not that it wasn't good. It was good. But BEST? Of the entire YEAR?

One great thing, though, is that the demographic in the audience last night was far younger and that's good. The American theater audience is only one or two steps away from needing a cardiologist in each aisle. Much of the show is in that language they speak in those countries down there that aren't Brazil and so people appeared to be more Leopoldo Antonio Tomas Irma Norberto Omigod as well. This is also good. Let's hope the audience remains large even after the Night of Free Tickets (Premiere Night).

Plotnik thought about not commenting about his and Ducknik's relatively funky seats (relative to the great ones they usually get) in his review. But shoot. He couldn't hear a thing -- but did that stop him from commenting about the music? Oh, hell no.
