10)the fact that there are TWO TKTS booths for people to get a chance to attend a show. 9)That the names Lane and Broderick are on the marquee at the St. James 
that the current cast of Phantom seem to have gotten their act together and have made the show have some dramatic meat on it's bones again. 7)Hal Prince (see above) 6) knowing Hairspray has never lost it's joyful heart and soul! 5)Shaiman,Wittman,Waters and of course Harvey and the cast(see above) 4)being able to catch some truly inspired performers steal their moments in the big hits, like Jim Borstelman and Jennifer Gambastese and Derrick Williams to name a few. 3)Alec Baldwin returns to the stage in a comedic role that I think he was born to play, this should be fun. 2)Mourning for Uta Hagen, BUT remembering all she had done for actors everywhere on the planet. Hopefully she's in Heaven finding her mark and chatting with Collen Dewhurst, another warrior for the actor. And the number one GREAT thing about Broadway at the moment....Adam Fleming's smile onstage, who needs footlights! (and I'd like add a footnote with saying it was great to see all the attractive faces at Fridays chat, you have no idea how wonderful it was to hear and SEE Dollypop smile!)
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium's
Liable to walk upon the scene

I second that Bravo to Sheekala. Phantom2, I realized it wasn't you on that rope once you came all the down to the stage because Jane is taller than you.

I deserved to be punished..
Now put me in the special ed class so Chester can teach me how dance and then we can play dodge ball so that Tracy Jai or Jordan can knock me out..... just as long as Adam.. or Jeff.. is on as Link that is (no Blake please!)
Wherever I am, please, no one change the channel!

Jordan will definitely hit you harder playing dodge ball. That girl is tough.
But she's GREAT.
Tracy will hit you but she'll be much more polite. She's a Texas girl. But now that I'm thinking about it, Jordan is from Oklahoma. What's up with all these southern Ambers?
