Anything Goes by Carole E. Barrowman, John Barrowman
4.0
John Barrowman does something really well that most people can't pull off: he's incredibly cocky and sure of his own beauty and talent and STILL you love him. I saw Barrowman last year and Dragon*Con and he and Scott surprised the entire audience by dropping their pants to show everyone their superhero briefs. That might give you an idea about how this books goes.
I really enjoyed reading this. In fact, it sent me down to my basement to search through old playbills! I took a trip with my grandmother when I was in high school to London. One of the things we did was see Miss Saigon at the Theatre Royale on Drury Lane. So, at the first mention of Barrowman appearing as Chris in the show, I couldn't believe it! Later, he mentioned that he did it in '93. I quickly tried to remember exactly when I was there. I thought it was summer before my Junior year of high school, which would have been '93. Alas, when I went to the basement to dig out my playbill, I found that I was wrong and I'd actually been the next year. So sad. I was hoping he'd come back to Dragon*Con this year so I could get that playbill signed! Oh well.
