Sutton Foster gave an amazing speech at Ball State University during their 2012 Graduation and it was perfection. So inspirational. She said something that I will always follow by:
"Don't be a jerk."
How much simpler can it get? This video taught me so much on taking chances and being nice to everyone and that it may affect you somehow. She makes the funniest facial expressions and I laughed so much. She is my idol.
Please take 15:43 minutes of your life and watch.

Tony Nominations
Yesterday. May 1st. The Tony Nominations came out. I was in Language Arts at the time, and at about 8:45, we went to the computer lab and I was like THANK GOD. I finally got to see the nominations and here are some of my thoughts...
- Once had 11 nominations. Woah. I have never seen this show but I had a friend that went to New York a few days before me and saw the show that weekend. He LOVED it so I'm sure he's happy about this. After researching some stuff on it, it kind of interests me.
- Newsies has 8. I entered the lotto for it when I was up in NYC but I didn't win, I won the Ghost tickets instead. Anyway, I have done some researching on this and this show looks awesome! The same friend in the previous thought got a chance to see some of the dress rehearsals that same weekend! Also, this lady who played Eva in Evita this past Summer at my local theatre currently lives in New York and her friend is a swing in it! I hope this wins some Tony's!
- Evita got 3. Three. THREE. Seriously? I think it deserved more. Not because I have been in the show, but it was truly spectacular. The set was unbelievable, the light was magnificent, the choreography was amazing, and the cast was lovely. As a first night preview, I was impressed. I seriously am rooting for Michael Cervaris and hope he wins. I will always remember him when he came out of the Stage door at midnight with a slice of pizza in his hand.
- Ghost got 3. This is ok, but I'm in shock it got the same amount of nominations as Evita. Ghost was good. The cast was awesome and the scenery, lighting, and way they made him look like a ghost was cool. I just think it should have stayed as a movie, because the movie is still the bomb!!!
Overall, I wasn't quite impressed. This year hasn't been as great as others. This is the 1st year I have actually taken serious consideration towards this event because my passion for theatre has grown SO much in the past year. Now I'm finally quite excited for the Tony's and hope Broadway adds its pizzazz back.. SOON!
