Tony Awards info and Alice in Wonderland!

Hello everyone! Just a quick post here to say that the nominees for this year's Tony Awards will be known on May 4th and the awards will be on June 13th! More info to come when we know the big contenders!

Anyone else ridiculously excited for the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movie coming out on March 5th? Okay, I'll admit, I'm not as obsessed as some people, but I think it will be a very good movie and I'll be seeing it on March 7th- expect a review post! At first when I saw the cast list I rolled my eyes. Of course Tim Burton cast Johnny Depp (Mad Hatter), Helena Bonham Carter (Red Queen) and Alan Rickman (Caterpillar- voice). It's Sweeney Todd all over again. But then I got to thinking- it's not really favoritism if the cast you always pick is ridiculously talented and very convincing in every part you put them in, is it? Johnny Depp is absolutely amazing, enough said. Helena Bonham Carter, while she doesn't have the best singing voice, is a fabulous actress and very good at creepy roles. Alan Rickman, while he will always be Severus Snape to me, never disappoints. I gained a tremendous amount of respect for him when I saw him in Sense and Sensibility in a sympathetic role. He doesn't just play villains or otherwise creepy people.

Oh and happy birthday to the legendary Broadway/screen performer Bernadette Peters!
