Evita Revival and then the World

Maybe it's because of this week's celebration of our nation's freedom, or perhaps it's yesterday's NY Court's Ruling against gay marriage, and Georgia's Supreme Court decision to reinstate a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage-either way I say, when life gives you irony, make a hot poker to shove up a politician's constituency. Hi Eliot!

Meanwhile, as we continue to create history on this debate for marriage equality, at least can we be entertained? I propose someone please for the love of God, bring back Evita on Broadway! And, NO, I do not want Madonna to be in the revival.
Madge might very well come out on stage strapped to a cross and everyone will just yawn, preaching to the bloody converted again, ho hum...No, this is serious motivational strategic planning.
If it's going to be done, it needs to be done right, and it needs to be "old school" so, Patti Lupone may once again be allowed to assert her rightful place in theatrical history and motivate us for a change NOW.
I know as a member of the LBGTQ Community that if we can just come together on this one issue, we can make everything right in the world. Who knows how the chain reaction of one victory on broadway can affect the queer community!?! An Evita revival may be just the thing to see gay marriage through, now, not 10 years from now.

God this whole thing is so muddled now. It is, however, making me more interested than ever in marriage and nothing else. God bless Eliot.

The Evita revival would surely be a step in the right direction. So would a landlines/cellphone poll discussion. Start it, No Agenda.
