Oh my goodness! It has been such a long time since I have been here. I seem to have left things hanging when last I blogged. So much has happened since those days and today I am completely wrapped up in my trip to NYC and the sweet anticipation of seeing and hearing(EEEE! the British accent!) Clay as Sir Robin. I can not wait to be in that audience knowing he is just behind the curtain when we hear those first strains of the Spamalot overture on Friday night.
Can't help but wonder what he might be feeling right about now...
“I Wonder What Our Clay is Doing Tonight”
A parody of “I Wonder What the King is Doing Tonight” from Camelot
Clay: I know what my people are thinking tonight
As home through the shadows they wander.
Ev'ryone smiling in secret delight,
They stare at the Shubert and ponder
As he steps toward the Great White Way
You can almost hear Claynation say…
I wonder what our Clay is doing tonight?
What merriment is our Clay pursuing tonight?
The lights at the Shubert, they’ve never shown so bright!
II wonder what our Clay is up to tonight?
How goes the final hour
As be begins to feel the power
Being physically and mentally prepared?
Well, I’ll tell you what I fear Clay ‘s feeling tonight...
He’s scared! He’s scared!
You mean our ambassador man,
Who’s been from Mexico to Afghanistan
Goes to the stage in terror and distress?
Yes!
A star who in concert is so calm
Who keeps us swooning with all his charm
Faces Broadway just petrified with fright?
Right!
You mean that appalling clamoring
That sounds like a carpenter hammering
Is merely the banging of his gorgeous bony knees?
Please!
You wonder what our Clay is wishing tonight?
Wishing he were on his iphone kibitzing tonight?
What occupies his mind while waiting for his ride?
Is he searching high and low for some place to hide?
And Oh, the expectation!
The sublime anticipation!
He must feel about his opening night reviews
Well, I’ll tell you what I think Clay is feeling tonight
He’s amused!
No woes!
He’s ready!
He KNOWS!
And that’s what our Clay... is doing tonight!!!
We know our Sir Robin is confident and eager and ready to show a new audience what we all know.
Go get ‘um Clay! Break a leg! and know we are all right here bursting with pride for you, keeping our wagons hitched firmly to your star! Shine on!!!
