Did you get some cash for the holidays? Here’s one great way to spend it!
We have an absurd amount of money to raise to make this thing happen, but I’m just crazy enough to think we have a chance. Even if it takes the help of frogs and bears and chickens and things to get us over the finish line. 💜 (3/3)

The best theatre I’ve seen all year. I’m not kidding. If you’re even remotely near-ish, you want to be there. Thank me later.
Psssst Louisville: if you saw one of our private A Christmas Carol shows recently, there’s a public one next week for those people you wish had seen it.

The other night, @thatames.bsky.social told me a story about how she once visited a friend’s midcentury house that had its own fallout shelter.
“Isn’t that bonkers?” she asked.

“Actually,” I replied, “it’s bunkers.”

Reader, she did not eject me from the car. That is true friendship.

Today I was reminded of this picture of Aaron Copland that was the funniest thing I'd ever seen as a dorky undergrad music major circa 2006. I made a Facebook group called "Aaron Copland didn't wear pants, so why should I?"

What a deal!!!

(I realize reposting this to my people defeats the purpose, but still…)
and okay, here's a ballsy thing I'll do:

I want five people who love musical theatre but don't know Christie or FITZ to donate at the $50 level, which gets you an advance digital copy of the album.

If you don't like it, I WILL PERSONALLY REFUND YOUR FIFTY BUCKS.
I'm reposting this since Bluesky's taken off a bunch in the last couple of weeks. The short version is that @timidfrieda.bsky.social is an extraordinary talent/person and FITZ is an incredible musical/album-to-be.

The longer, more personal appeal is on FB at www.facebook.com/sethchristen...

Hi! I now have a lot of new followers thanks to @muppeturgy.com’s starter pack (I assume?), so I’m going to put it to y’all directly: what sort of Muppety shenanigans would convince you to donate to my Kickstarter? We have discussed doing special episodes or an online live event or merch… (1/3)

WAVE IS LIFE!!!!!
If you’re curious, yes, @timidfrieda.bsky.social’s number one song on her Spotify Wrapped was indeed “Wave.”

A girl in middle school once told me I was wrong, that they weren’t called the Muppets, they were “the Muffets.”

Anyway, I periodically remember her and wonder which MLM drained her savings.

I am about to embark on a month and a half of intense shameless self-promotion — like way more than I am built for — and my teeth are itching already. Why did I, an extreme introvert with social anxiety, go into showbiz? Is sending rats under the table at Sardi’s to do it for me actually an option?

Twitter always felt like a party I wandered into late, never knowing the vibe. Hoping Bluesky will be different? So far, so good.

Oh hi Bluesky! It’s been a minute. (I’ll be here more often, I promise.) In the meantime: we’re making an album and we need your help! Chip in if you can, and tell anyone you know who loves musicals: this is going to be the most exciting musical theatre album of 2025…
My beloved friend @timidfrieda.bsky.social is raising money for a concept album of her extraordinary musical THE FITZGERALDS OF ST. PAUL, and if you have money to spare and care about the future/present/past of musical theatre, I urge you to chip a bit in. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bra...

The arrival of theater-of-my-dreams @vidiots.bsky.social to my neighborhood has meant that I’ve gotten to go see a bunch of movies I should’ve seen years ago and now get to be delighted by as if they’re new. My favorite so far? CARRIE (1976). I can’t stop thinking about what a good movie it is.

Oh hey, I might actually post on this one.
