Woo-hoo Wordies!

Boy! You folks are WILDIN' up in here! And I'm LOVING IT! You theater people always know how to show a gal a good time ... and I loved the "Spider Baby" and "Vagina Monologues" raps. I'm going to have to give Wordies just for the folks who flamed my blog about The Wordies.

And to answer a few questions:

• I went with the BEST of the BEST that I saw (and what our other reviewers saw) this year. I mean, I liked a lot of other shows. A LOT, but some were just FRICKIN' outstanding. So if you got nominated, like jump back and kiss yourself. You already won beause I literally wanted to give everyone I nominated a Wordy. You beat out A LOT OF PEOPLE I LIKED! "Teatro Bizarro" and "Joseph" didn't even make it into Best Production and they were both really good. That's how much better the other shows were! I liked Monique Gomez in everything she was in. I liked Doug Cheesman in everything he was in. I liked John Patrick Wells in everything he was in. I liked Guinevere Park-Hall in everything she was in. Picking folks was CRAZY hard! And Hal kept going up against himself in all his catagories. It was rough!
  

• As for V-Day women getting left out of the Best Actress /Best supporting catagory that was simply because you guys had no lead or supporting actresses. Everyone was equal. A matter of fact, I had trouble trying to decide what catagory you belonged in, since you touched on drama, comedy and even a little song n' dance. So it sounds messed up, but YOU WERE TOO DIVERSE! (I know, I know. And I love diversity!) While your diversity made for a FANTASTIC show, it also made for hard catagorization. Everyone else was either obvioulsy a musical or drama or comedy, so I guess I could have stuck you in each one, but c'set la vie. I didn't want to stack the deck, so to speak.

• As for the "why no noms for 'Hurry Up Santa'" I made all the Christmas shows exempt. It's not that I don't like a Christmas show, I just didn't go to any other of the Christmas shows this year since The Californian halted the reviews.

That said! RESULTS WILL BE IN WOTS TOMORROW! You can check on-line or grab a copy of the newspaper. I'm also going to post about your postings (my fav tidbits on why "it's no contest, my shows the best!" rants you gave.) And I'm actually going to figure out how to make your "Wordy" stamps of approaval. I mean, you need proof that you won that Wordy so you can go "BOO-YA! With my Wordy, man!" or "I put the theatrical hurting on you with this WORDY!" or better yet "I smacked it, flipped it and rubbed it down with this WORDY, aaaaaah! In yo' face, suckas!"

Yeah, yeah. I know. I encourage insanity. But come on'? What kind of theater people would you be if you weren't overly dramatic? Pretty FRICKING BORING theater people, that's what! And why would I want to give Wordies to those people? So be your drama king and queen selves.

That said ...

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
