My friend Suzy is putting on a show next weekend. It is in St. Paul, Minnesota. Or Minneapolis, Minnesota depending on what the kids are calling it nowadays.

Now I know that most of you don't LIVE in St. MinneaPaulis (as I just decided I shall call it from now till eternity or Thursday.) But some of you might very well live there. In fact, I *know* some of you live there because my sitemeter blog location button tells me that you do.

Unless, of course, the person reading my blog that is from St. Paul *is* my friend that is putting on the show. In which case, damnit.

But just in case, I give you this information about the show (for those of you who do NOT live in St. MinneaPaulis, I give you a link to the cast of said show acting out the theme to "The Facts of Life." It's a win-win.):

"The sequel to the sold-out hit show Unexpected Songs, DreamBoys features five talented men singing Broadway songs made famous by the bawdy women of the boards. Popular Twin Cities stage personalities Doug Anderson, Tim Kuehl, Bart Shane Ruf, C. Ryan Shipley, and Paul Whittemore bring a little something extra to timeless classics, diva favorites, and rare gems of the theater.

The show is set in a theater lobby moments before an audition, where each man steadies his nerves and wonders…what if I could audition for Eliza instead of Henry Higgins?

Featuring songs from such hit shows as Wicked, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Little Shop of Horrors, A Chorus Line, and contemporary classics The Wild Party, The Last Five Years, and Light in the Piazza. Expect powerful belting, thoughtful ballads, and a generous dose of gender-bending fun.

Running February 6-22 at the Lowry Lab Theater in downtown St. Paul. For more info, visit www.blueumbrellaproductions.net
