In Living Color

I just saw Catch Me If You Can on Broadway.  Getting free tickets from work is awesome but it was like watching Mamma Mia all over again.  I was by myself, laughing and enjoying it but wishing my mom was with me.  She likes all these cultural stuff and my dad just tags along most of the time.  I got my ticket really late, 30 minutes before the 7pm show, and I couldn't even call Neruda or Alexandra to see it with me.

I've seen the movie starring Leo di Caprio and Tom Hanks so I knew the story.  Aaron Tveit, the guy who played Frank Abagnale, Jr. on Broadway, is one hot beefcake.  I'm sorry but Leo doesn't excite me.

I liked this musical.  It's because part of the story is about the  prestige of   flying decades ago and how he tricked people into thinking he's a commercial pilot.  It's the idea that you can be who you want to be.  It's because the last musical that I saw (American Idiot) got me so turned off with the dark, sex, drugs and rock & roll theme that I'm just so ecstatic to see beautiful people dancing angst-free onstage.
