Here he is, ladies and gents…one more time before the holidays, IT’S GAYE!

————

Hello my darling readers. The holidays have come upon us, and so has my friend from the gym. For my holiday post, I wanted to recommend some shows to see, but alas, I’m not extremely excited about many shows right now. I don’t have my usual Gaye-rection for the holiday season. I’m not sure what it is; the economy, the ever-growing threat of Project Runway being canceled, this tiny unexplained rash. Who knows? So this year, in lieu of my missing list of shows that would give me a Holiday Hard-On, I’d like to submit to you my first ever…

Holi-Gaye Wish List! (in no particular order)

• Chanhassen Dinner Theatre decides to be less boring.

• The Big Blue Blog decides to be less boring.

• Mainstream news outlets, like the Star Tribune and the Pioneer Press pay closer attention to smaller theaters that would benefit more from reviews.

• Theaters that cater to younger audiences, like The Children’s Theatre, The Youth Performance Company and SteppingStone Theatre continue to thrive.

• Nobody does a production of Midsummer…for at least 3 more years.

• The Iveys gets a lot more Gay in a Good Way. There is a giant pool of talent in this state. Let’s use some of it for the show that is supposed to showcase this talent.

• Next year’s Fringe Festival is at LEAST as good as it was this year.

• Broadway’s The Little Mermaid goes up in flames. I’m not even gay enough to want to see that show.

• Somebody decides to produce Golden Girls: The Musical!

• More original work gets produced. And it doesn’t suck balls.

I hope all of your wishes come true in the New Year and I hope you all continue to be extremely Gaye in a Good Way!  Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go Ho-Ho-Ho myself out.
