I want a Frankenstein musical and I want Jeremy Jordan to play Victor

Dear Steve Kazee,

Real talk: I had no real interest in seeing Once... until I watched your acceptance speech at the Tony's. I lost my mom fairly recently too, and when you started choking up, I couldn't help but start bawling. After seeing the show this winter, I can say that your award was well-deserved.

More than that, though, I want to thank you for your heart. You laid it bare every night on that stage, you laid it bare when you accepted your Tony, and you laid it bare when you posted that farewell letter to your fans. Your kindness, graciousness, and thoughtfulness are rare and invaluable and so fucking amazing, and I can only speak for myself, but–- thank you. Thanks for everything.

And I'll definitely come to your next show.

Dear Book of Mormon,

You mean more to me than I could possibly begin to explain. Thank you for introducing me to such an incredible cast. Thank you for giving me hope and showing me that happiness can be found no matter how bad the situation may seem. You showed me that true friends will accept you and love you for who you are. Thank you for showing me how much one person can change the lives of those around them. 

Thank you for everything.

Dear Broadway/Theatre,

Thank you for giving me friends, the best friends I could ever ask for. Thank you for giving me music that touches me in ways I cannot describe. Thank you for giving me a way to express myself. Thank you for helping me through the rough times. Thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for giving me hope.

Most of all, thank you for giving me a home.

Dear Rory O'Malley & Gavin Creel,

Thank you thank you thank you thank you. Thank you for starting Broadway Impact. Thank you for showing everyone (especially me, growing up in a strict, conservative, Catholic home and going to Catholic schools) that it's okay to be gay. Broadway Impact and really the whole theatre community has taught me that love is love and everyone should be able to love & marry whoever they want. Thank you a million times over for teaching me that.

Love,

The odd one out

Dear Theatre

Thank you for giving me a place to belong, where everyone accepts you for YOU. you gave a shy girl a place to come out of her shell and express herself. I now don't where I would be without you, but I know I wouldn't have half the friends I do now. I have now found a second home and that is the stage<3 I now don't feel complete without having a script to read, a song to learn or a dance step to learn. Thank you
