Last weekend, I went to see Vanities at the Pasadena Playhouse. While the musical itself sounded promising, I went to see it mostly because I heart Anneliese van der Pol. She kept me constantly amused on That’s So Raven and I find her voice remarkable.

I had no idea.

Vanities is a great musical. It really is. It has a bit of a slow start, I would have breezed past the high school years and moved along into that real life pain a little bit sooner, but once they get to college, and life gets real, it becomes a powerhouse. It opens on Broadway early next year with the same cast they had in Pasadena. Go see it!

And onto Anneliese.

Wow. That girl really is an amazing talent. Her vocal ability and her incredible acting style, both are amazing to witness in person. In general, I am one intensely wordy bitch, so when I’ve got no words…

Note to self: Buy bigger thesaurus.

And a crepe maker.
