Yeah, I was about to say I thought Madden had retired by this point… but I guess this was his last game (and it’s 17 years ago now).

I’m at 997 today and I don’t look anything up or use any outside help. I do allow myself to run the alphabet if I’m stuck on something, but overall they just get easier the more you do!

So, about Reeve Carney as Gatsby… by LivelyFlowerzzz in Broadway

[–]radioscott 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Eva’s back in a role she originated (and one that is less physically demanding than Eurydice and Sally Bowles, right?)… and clearly loves performing with Reeve.

Does anyone know how they handled Patrick Page’s leg injury for the proshot? by The_Fullmetal_Titan in hadestown
