Avery Brooks! SQUEEEEEE!

This time tomorrow, I will be in New Haven, Connectiut, for the Yale Repertory Theatre's production of King Lear, starring Avery Brooks in the title role.

Yes. That Avery Brooks. With the eyes and the smile and the please bend me over something now and if I can't call you Captain Sisko how about Hawk?

(I've been lusting after this man since Spenser for Hire, yes. I watched obsessively for the 15 seconds every 5th episode where he would either show his eyes, or show his teeth.)

It's running through the 13th, and as of three o'clock this afternoon the remaining shows were not yet sold out.

Yow!

Avery Brooks? I *remember* him (bright eyes and a niiice *voice*). Mmm. And he's doing Lear? o.O I'm such a jealous chickie right now. Have fun!

I did enjoy it -- so much I'm going again (I know, rub it in, why don't I). I'd take you with me if I could.

You can read my review, take one now, at least.

Aww. Well, it's possible they'll reprise the production, and maybe even in a west coast venue. Stranger things have happened!

Oh, yes. Oh, that smile.

So enjoy the play, and next time take meeeeeeeee!
