FirePhrase: Oh, Super

Oh, Super

Okay, get this – this weekend I have an ushering gig for It’s A Bird . . . It’s a Plane . . . It’s Superman: The Musical (heretofore to be referred to only as Superman, cause I’m not that fond of typing). It stars a yummy bit of eye candy who is Clark Kent from the neck up and, indeed, Super from the broad, broad shoulders down. Whoof. And it’s a Superman musical – where Gleek meets Geek. I've heard that fanboys are already lining up this morning (!) for tonight's preview show.

But here’s the even better part, the baddy is played by Patrick Cassidy. Son of Jack Cassidy. Brother to . . . wait for it . . . Sean and David Cassidy! It’s like Tiger Beat Nirvana. Patrick is one of the less famous Cassidy boys, yet way silver foxy. Meesa likin’ this stuff.

I’m gonna have my little red tie knotted up extra special spiffy for this one. And should there be any Sean Cassidy sightings, I will post tout-de-suite. Hmm. I wonder if I can get on super-sneaky spy cameras installed in my tie?

Just last night I saw a TV program about the Ten Most Unusual Cities in the U.S. One was Metropolis, Illinois, where everything is Superman related. One street is named Lois Lane.

The man who runs the Superman museum has his lunchbox from 1959 which is worth $8,000. The costume worn by George Reeve is worth a quarter of a million.

So our boy in tights is still quite popular.

You are so hyped--hope it saisfies.; June 18, 2010 at 3:26 PM

In my defense: I had to type the entry four times before it went through, so was probably going too fast the fourth time.; June 18, 2010 at 3:30 PM
FirePhrase said...: The Morning News and the Observer have both run cover stories on the show. Evidently some big writer with comic book and Broadway connections (how many of those can there be?) did the rewrite of the book. So there's actually some fanboy excitement, apparently. I'm pretty amped to see this one. There's going to be flying! How could this not be fun?

Given the way computers/texting phones etc. work, isn't it funny how we've just gotten used to reading fat fingers typos? I barely even notice any more. Our second grade teachers would just be appalled. A trick I do use when Blogger is being stubborn about accepting posts is that I copy my text before I hit submit, then I can just paste it if I get a fail on posting.; June 18, 2010 at 3:40 PM
