Here is the synopsis for “Departure Lounge”:

“Departure Lounge” is a coming-of-age, high-energy musical with a progressive pop score, close four-part harmonies and a wicked sense of humor. It was a hit at the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and The Public Theatre’s 2009 SPF. The show recently completed its first commercial run in London.

The musical follows four less-than-innocent 18-year-old Brits caught between adolescence and adulthood who are delayed at Malaga Airport after a week in the sun to celebrate their graduation from school.

As they reminisce about their time together, it soon becomes clear that their individual memories of the holiday are at odds (particularly when it comes to romance and the girl on all their minds). Is she as innocent as we’re led to think and will the boys’ friendships hold firm as they all face a coming of age?

Naughty or Nice?

I have a childrens book of Rhymes.

There was a little girl who had a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good, she was very, very good, and when she was bad she was horrid.

That has been my mantra for a long time.

Happy Thanksgiving!b

Naughty or Nice

Both. One can’t exist without the other. Ying and Yang. Good and Evil. Tom and Jerry. Rocky and Bullwinkle. Crusader Rabbit and Rags the Tiger. Forgive me, I lost my head.

Naughty or nice

I think romantic desire is both because if your nice all the time you long for that naughtyness in your life and that is the way romance should be naughty and nice
