Amusement for those having rough weeks.

Yet another reason why Patrick Stewart is one of my favorite actors. (Low-quality, unfortunately.)

Patrick Stewart flamboyantly sings the alphabet.

I saw him in the Tempest when I was in high school. The performance was good enough that over a decade later it's still pretty memorable. I think it's possible we drove to New York for it. That seems unlikely for a high school field trip, but I just checked and wikipedia says he played on broadway in 1995, so we must have. I hope I slept on the bus.

So did I; it was almost as good as his 1-man Christmas Carol.

Wow, I love that guy! The alphabet song is particularly hilarious.

The Sesame Street clip just really drives home what perfect voice control he has, even in the service of silliness. I have got to see him in a live Shakespeare someday.

I'm having trouble imagining a 1-man Christmas Carol, but I have no doubt he's one of a very small number of people that could pull it off.

There was one point where he lay on a table and pretended to snore for two minutes and had the entire audience's rapt attention.

If he ever revives it, absolutely go see it.

AH HAHA HAHAHAHAHAAAA! Hee! Thank you!

Did you see the clip YouTube also brings up of him helping the Count reign in an errant number? I should've seen the punchline coming, but I didn't. :)

...er, rein. *sigh* Can you tell what I have on my mind? :)

[orichalcum.livejournal.com]

Well, it's a good thing to have on your mind, and may your reign be long and triumphant!

And yes, I did - "Number 1!"
