Casual Screaming About Andrew Rannells

Andrew Rannells is nominated for a Tony for his portrayal of Whizzer Brown in the 2016 revival of Falsettos.
Andrew being the supermodel he naturally is.
If Andrew wins, this will be his first Tony. And, honestly, he deserves it. The man is good. He is amazing. His voice. His acting. He is great.
He looks like a real estate agent.
Let's start at the beginning. It was 2011 or 2012, when I saw a clip of Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad in Book of Mormon. I immediately crushed on Andrew and needed to find out who he was. But then I learned it was Broadway, and similar to what happened with Christian Borle, I did not know that you could be a fan of Broadway without seeing a Broadway show.

I nearly forgot Andrew until 2016, when I got into Hamilton and learned he played King George III for a short time. I finally got into Book of Mormon, when I started becoming a fan of the King George III of Hamilton, at the time, Rory O'Malley was talking about it. I listened to the cast album and instantly fell in love with it. It's a great musical. I HIGHLY recommend it. I got blessed with winning the Book of Mormon lotto and was lucky enough to go see it and I am still so stunned and I can happily say it was my first Broadway show. I didn't see Andrew as Elder Price, I saw Nic Rouleau who is amazing.
Andrew, Josh Gad, and the cast of Book of Mormon
Shortly after I got into Book of Mormon, I learned about Falsettos and I got into Falsettos and I watched Falsettos and I fell in love with Falsettos. Give Andrew Rannells his Tony. He did a phenomenal job playing Whizzer and Falsettos is one of my favorite musicals because of his performance. And everyone else's performance, but he did an amazing job. I'll include a montage of his performance.
I started watching Girls on HBO because of Andrew, but I really like it, so I'm going to watch it for him and because I just enjoy it.

Another musical I fell in love with thanks to him, is Hedwig and the Angry Inch. He did a great job with it. It is my second favorite musical of all time.
Again, supermodel
As of 2017, he has two Tony nominations. The first for his portrayal of Elder Price in Book of Mormon in 2011 and his second, this year for his portrayal of Whizzer in the Falsettos revival. I do hope that he wins this Tony, because he does deserve it.

Andrew Rannells is so good. Don't believe me?
Andrew performing "I Believe" from the Book of Mormon at the Tony Awards.
Andrew performing "Let Me Be Your Star" from Smash on Girls.

No, Andrew was not on Smash, but I imagine that if he was, he could have been Tom Levitt's happily ever after.

Andrew Rannells is crazy talented and not to mention he's drop dead gorgeous. Andrew Rannells is one of the most beautiful people in my opinion. I mean...





 He's a very good looking man. I hope he wins his Tony and I can't wait to see what the future holds for him. I hope he comes back to Broadway.

That Time A President Conducted Meetings from the Toilet

Happy Monday! Another week ahead. This week's weird moment from history is how President Lyndon B. Johnson conducted meetings and interviews while on the toilet. I learned way too much about LBJ while doing research for this post and it is going to be a LONG time before I write another weird history post about him. But there will be at least another one in the future. Man was weird. Quick history lesson for my non-Americans who may not know who LBJ is. Lyndon Baines Johnson was the 36th President of the United States. He assumed the position following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He was president from 1963 til 1969. NOW if you're like me and you grew up with the rewatching the movie Forrest Gump over and over again your first introduction to LBJ might be when Forrest was being honored with the Medal of Honor and showed the president where he was "shot in the buttocks" during the Vietnam War.  I haven't watched Forrest Gump in years, but if you haven't...

Fangirl Friday: Deleasa

 Heyo! Happy Friday! It's that time of the week when I ramble about someone I love! Today's subject is DJ and producer, Deleasa. His name is Mike Deleasa and while I normally refer to my subjects by first name in these posts, I will be referring to him by his stage name, Deleasa. NOW to understand how I became a fan of Deleasa, we have to go all the way back to 2012, when Kevin and Danielle Jonas' reality show, Married to Jonas  premiered. I bet you're wondering what does this guy have to do with the Jonas Brothers? Deleasa is actually Danielle's brother, making him Kevin's brother-in-law. He was featured in the reality show and I ended up falling in love with him. He was actually my parasocial "rebound" from Joe. You can read all about my parasocial breakup with Joe in my Fangirl Friday about him . But enough about the Jonas Brothers. That's not why we're here. Plus I've already written 30k words about them on this blog. However, I am for...

Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are Basically the Same Person

I, a 21-year-old adult, is still a HUGE fan of the High School Musical franchise. In high school, had I been a better planner, I would have asked Lucas Grabeel to be my prom date. And even though I was older than most viewers, I did love Teen Beach Movie when it came out. In this post, I am going to explain how Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are basically the same person. Let's start at the beginning. You may know Zac Efron as Troy Bolton in the Disney Channel Original Movie (or DCOM), High School Musical and it's franchise. He is the attractive blue-eyed, protagonist of all three HSM movies. And I will admit that I was a huge fangirl for him in my youth. Honestly, now I can't stand him. But that's for another post. Zac portrayed Troy in all three HSM films, but he only sang in the last two. That's right. Zac Efron did not sing in the first HSM movie. That was the amazingly talented Drew Seeley whom I will love till the day I die. Similarly, Garrett Clayton pl...
