I make me chuckle

I don't know why, but today I was thinking about the term "showmance" - a romance that happens as a result of working on a show together. I was debating how many of those actually ever last - how many marriages are based on "showmances." I started to try to think of examples, and the one that came to mind immediately was actually a "bandmationship" - and that made me laugh. And the people I'm thinking of aren't even really _in_ the band together. And they aren't really together. Well, if you ask her they are, but not so much him. ($5 if you can tell me who I'm thinking of.)

Anyway, mostly I wanted to officially coin the phrase "bandmationship," because while "showmance" has over 14,000 google results, "bandmationship" has ZERO. I win.

And may I say that I officially miss the rotating quotes at the end of my emails.

added later
Broadway.com apparently did a feature on the status of some high profile showmances.

Do I know these people? I could use $5.

Taye Diggs and his wife met in "Rent," right? Does "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" count as a "show?" For God's sake.

Bruce Springsteen married backup singer Patti Scalfa (sp?) back in the 1980s.

I miss your rotating quotes as well.

Unfortunately, you don't know them :(. No $5 for you!!! I'm so sad, btw, that I can't make it tonight! Rock it out.
