my mom was reading an old interview with Aaron Tveit and just GASPED and it turns out he said that he would like to play Westley in a musical adaptation of The Princess Bride which is like her favorite movie and book and I was like “oh yeah we would die”

As much as I love having my phone background be the picture of you and Aaron [Tveit], I don’t think he really looks as attractive as I think he is. Like he’s cute, but I think he’s really even more attractive than that, don’t you?

my mom

me: I had a dream that Andy Mientus did a concert at [our local summer concert series]
my mom: I wish they would do some different things like that, it seems like it’s all bluegrass stuff, it would be nice to see some straight theater acts
me: pfft, “straight” theater?
my mom, sighing: Gay theater, then, whatever, that’s not what I meant

I got home from work and my mom told me that she spent the entire afternoon watching videos of Aaron Tveit which is a mood

now that there are official reviews of Moulin Rouge out my mom has been reading all of them and getting really pleased when they’re good and really defensive when they say anything bad which is honestly adorable

my mom: Is Sam Mendes the Broadway guy you like?
me: I don’t know who that is
my mom: Who’s the guy you like then?
me: I like a lot of people involved in Broadway?
my mom: It’s a name like that, I thought
me: Are you thinking of Andy Mientus??
my mom: That’s it!

Some big moods from today

-my mom before Moulin Rouge started, watching some scantily clad actors walking around the stage seducing each other: “it’s hard to think about this happening around the same time as Spring Awakening”

-every single pigeon I saw

-the usher I heard saying “Aaron Tveit is… the personification of sex”

-my mom at intermission yawning then making eye contact with an usher and saying “I’m not bored!!”

-me being super on brand and coming out of the show with an unexpected polyamorous ship

-the person standing next to us at stage door who had tickets for both of today’s shows and was already talking about wanting to see it when it goes to Broadway

-the person in front of me who told Aaron Tveit “Enjolras is my favorite ever” (and his response: “oh! uh, thanks!”)

-my hair being a complete mess when I met Aaron Tveit

He’s kind of a funny guy because in some ways he’s really attractive but in some ways he’s not conventionally attractive? I don’t know, his jaw? ..But you look at his body, like when he’s on stage, his moves… he’s a sexy man! And his long hair… I think he’s very attractive!

my mom about Aaron Tveit

is there anything more awkward than watching a sex scene with your mother
