I'm watching the Tonys...

I'm thinking that Oklahoma is holding its own on Broadway. We have Kristen Chenoweth who has a couple of Tony Awards and is on a fun new TV show called Pushing Daisies.

And don't get me started on Megan Mullally... I think that she is just wonderful. She is funny, beautiful, and ridiculously talented; she's an Oklahoma girl. I was born on her birthday, too! November 12th - it's a good day. I really liked her talk show, too, but I worked while it was on, so I didn't get to watch very often.

Finally, there is this guy named Tracy Letts. He just won a Pulitzer Prize this year for his latest play "August, Osage County" - which is kicking arse at the Tony Awards right now. He's a talented actor who has been performing in Chicago for years. (I LOVED visiting Chicago.) His mom, Billie Letts, wrote a great little book called "Where the Heart Is" - Oklahoma girl!

I've always known that there are a lot of brilliant Okies out there, but it is just nice to know that the rest of the world should should be noticing about now.
