ZarKAN'Ta

See what I did there?

Maybe some of you are familiar with the new Cirque du So-gay show Zarkana in the allegedly historical (though underwhelming in person) Radio City Music Hall.

There are no singing/dancing ushers, don't be fooled.

Well do I have a bone to pick with Zarkana.

A couple of weeks ago, I entered a contest they were having that asked those who love to blog about theatre to send in a link to their blog. They would then choose 50 lucky bloggers to attend a special pre-show (maybe post-show...I didn't really read it) and be VIP guests to the show...for free.

As you know, I write a blog about theatre and I am ALL ABOUT the free tickets.

Unfortunately, I was notified today that the event was now full and I was not a chosen blogger.

EXCUSE ME?! I don't know how many New Yorkers are out there blogging about theatre, but I'm sure as hell the only one I know of. Don't tell me they found 50 other people with anything interesting to say about theatre. Maybe they didn't actually read my blog, because had they actually read my blog they surely would have fallen in love with my in depth review of The Tony Awards and The Addams Family. Hell, if they were really bored they would have even appreciated my review of that thing that happened in the spring at Northwestern.

This kid (that's me) knows theatre.

So NO Zarkana, I do not accept your generous offer of a code to save over 50% off your French-infested circus that somehow always seems to feature more small Asian girls than anything remotely French.

No.

I will happily stay here where my blogging is appreciated...on my sofa...with my wine...and my friends Ben & Jerry...

...is this what depression feels like?....

I think I have a drinking problem,
