My Love of Musical Theatre (and Dorothy)

Hello. I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Roman. I'm a single guy, 46 years of age, almost 5'9", 144, with black hair and brown eyes. I have a definite interest in musical theatre/plays. Here in Austin, I've seen the following shows (the ones I can remember): A Chorus Line (Paramount), 42nd Street (Bass), Rocky Horror (Zach), SantaLand Diaries (Zach), Evita (Zach), Master Class (Zach), Clean House (Zach) and various Zilker Summer Musicals (the last one being "Beauty and the Beast.") Outside of Austin, I've seen: Sweeney Todd (2001) in SF and (2006) in NYC.. with Patti LuPone; Regina (2005) in Washington, D.C. with Patti LuPone; A Chorus Line (2006) in SF and (2007, 2008) in NYC. Wicked (2005) in Dallas and (2006) in NYC. Other shows: NYC: Forbidden Broadway (2006), Avenue Q (2007), Drowsy Chaperone (2007), Deuce (2007). Most recently, I had the pleasure of going to NYC in 2008 and also seeing Xanadu and Gypsy (with.. guess who... Patti LuPone). You could say I'm a major Patti LuPone fan. I'm a contributor to the Broadway World.com theatre forum. My username is: Patti LuPone FANatic. I always tell people that the FAN part means a fan in a good way. From time to time, I get a chance to email with Patti LuPone. She is always awesome with her fans. Well, aside from musical theatre and plays, I play tennis with the Austin Tennis Club. At the present time, I am so excited to have the supreme pleasure of seeing the legendary Elaine Stritch here in Austin on Saturday, Sept. 6th. I can't wait! I would love the chance to make new friends here in Austin, who also share an interest in theatre (musicals and plays). I should stop now. I'm trying to watch "Project Runway" at the same time. Auf Wiedersehen! Roman
