The Tigers started a stretch of games against the Polar Bears with a 6-1 win. I’m glad we bounced back so decisively from our lose last week to the Sled Dogs. Scoring was nicely spread around last night as well, which is always good to see.

If I could travel back in time (using a Delorean, the Tardis or a Stargate, whichever is handy) I would totally go see this.
When In The Heights premiered on Broadway on Valentine’s Day 2008 it brought a fresh, young vibe to Broadway. It also brought some hot choreography from Andy Blankenbuehler, who won a Tony Award for his efforts. Here’s a clip from “The Club” number that shows off his skills. You’ll note a similarity in theme here [...]
This clip could get me in hot water because so many people things Cats is a joke. It was among the first musicals I saw in live and it stuck. I’ve always liked the “Jellical Songs for Jellical Cats” number and it’s got some pretty groovy cat dancing too. Here is the Original Broadway Cast [...]
