They're turning "Shrek" into a musical.  And it's debuting (doing previews, whatever) in Seattle.  I have no idea how good it will actually be but I think I'm going to try and get tickets.  (That is, if I'm not too busy interviewing/getting a job/moving/working.)  They mention "The Little Mermaid: The Musical" in the article and even though it's been getting some bad reviews I'll probably still try to see it if it ever comes to town.  Oh, and mid-June needs to come quickly so I can go see "Avenue Q".

Saw this linked on a message board and just had to share.  It's an edited version of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" as performed by the cast of "Scrubs".  Enjoy!

My final treat for today is 3 different versions of the same song.  You can't have Halloween without "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and I think this is my favorite song from the whole movie.

The original:

Marilyn Manson's cover:
Panic! At The Disco's cover:

Today you get two quotes for the price of one.  I couldn't choose just one and I knew if I only posted one, I would forget about the other - so you get two instead.

From S1.E21 of "Pinky and the Brain":

The Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky: Well, I think so but, Kevin Costner with an English accent?

and

The Brain: You shall be my Merry Men.
Peasant: Who you calling "merry"?
The Brain: Heh, heh.  I mean, you shall be my Mirthful Men?
Crowd: What kind of a name is that?  What does he take us for?  *walks away*
Pinky: *whispers in Brain's ear*
The Brain: Don't be ridiculous, Pinky.  No self-respecting team of hearty he-men would want to be called the "Mighty Ducks".

From S1.E15 of "Pinky & The Brain":

Pinky: Um, what's that big contraption in the middle of the room, Brain?
The Brain: It's Gutenberg's greatest achievement, Pinky.
Pinky: You mean "Police Academy 4"?
The Brain: No, Pinky.  But your retention of lowbrow trivia is impressive.

That just makes me giggle.  :-)
