It Only Takes a Taste (From Waitress) - Katharine McPhee & David Hunter
- An improvised musical on Broadway (my friends are working on making this happen, IDK if FLS counts because I never got to see it and I don’t know if they do a full narrative)
- Spamalot revival with Bonnie Milligan as Lady of the Lake
- Legally Blonde revival with Stephanie Styles and Dan DeLuca
- Jacob Kemp as a lead in literally anything except the things he’s too white for (I’d even see his Evan Hansen although he’s 33 and a half)
- Waitress revived AGAIN. Jenna Ushkowitz back as Dawn (after she has her baby). Kevin McHale as Ogie. Amber Riley as Becky. Ben Fankhauser as Pomatter. Ally Bonino as Jenna.
- Fun Home revival but the small Alisons are the medium Alisons this time
- Hairspray 2: Tracy’s In Her Mid Thirties And Can’t Dance Anymore Because She Fucked Up Her Achilles But Still Fights Racism
- Brandon Uranowitz as Seymour in Little Shop
- A “10 Things I Hate About You” with SJB as the guidance counselor
Barmaids who love hard lick-her, strong shots and salty rims.
Waitresses who love serving up specials.

I saw Waitress 3 times when it was originally on Broadway. So when I heard it was coming back for a limited run, I knew I had to see it at some point. This is the first Broadway show I’ve sat in the front row for, and it was awesome seeing the show unobstructed by other people’s heads. I’ve seen several casts, and this one was probably my favorite. It was nice to see Joshua Henry return to Broadway in this. And Ciara Renée is just incredible. Watching someone from my hometown being so successful in her own career really inspired me. I laughed, I cried, I ate some pie. The diner’s closing on January 9th. If you can, I’d highly recommend going to see this incredible cast.
- every year, the bluebonnets appear, almost overnight. every year, thousands of people flock to them. it bothers you that no one really questions why.
- “how can I help y’all?” the waitress asks, looking over your shoulder. you are the only one in the diner.
- you’ve been driving towards el paso for hours, but you swear the scenery hasn’t changed. out on the horizon, the turbines have stopped spinning.
- y’all come back now, y’ hear? the sign on the highway says, its once-bright paint faded and peeling. this is not a farewell. it’s a warning.
- no one really swims in the lakes. ask anyone why, and they’ll mutter something about the cleanliness or the fish. they won’t meet your eyes.
- you haven’t seen a cicada in years, but their rattling hiss haunts your every step on hot summer days. at least, you hope it’s just the cicadas.
- there are no basements in north texas, despite the tornadoes. folks would rather face the wrath of the skies than what lies beneath the clay.
Perfection - truth in fiction
