      Seeing @RaulEEsparza singing “Pity the Child” at CHESS tonight hit me hard. It was a great performance of a song that I’ve held inside me since I was a closeted teen in Youngstown, Ohio. ... It was one of several musicals that I learned about through one of my mom’s friends.

      He made me tapes of (or I made copies of, I forget) his cast recordings of something like a half-dozen shows, including CHESS. I’d seen PHANTOM in Toronto, but that was pretty much it until we saw LES MIZ on Broadway before my senior year of high school.

      I remember typing out the lyrics to several songs, including “Pity the Child,” on the computer and printing them out on a dot matrix printer. (We didn’t have the internet, so by this I mean, I listened to the song enough times to type all of the worlds out.)

      It was all part of the start of my love affair with the magical world of the theater. And, watching someone like Esparza singing one of those songs really just brought back everything I felt back then — we’re talking like 1994 — right to the front of my mind.

      I think I was probably in that mindset because of @rilaws’ piece from earlier this week, to be honest. It made me think a lot about the ups and downs of coming out in the mid-90s — and what my world was like once I realized I likely was gay but wasn’t yet out.

      To follow that up so quickly with seeing “Pity the Child” incredibly performed was just like a ton of bricks. ... Anyway, theater is amazing, and so is figure skating. Art and artistry are gifts, and thank goodness for all those who are encouraged to cultivate their gifts.

          Replying to @chrisgeidner

          I agree wholeheartedly. My step-father was the theater professor and director at Kent State-Stark and recently passed away. The sheer number of lives he touched is uncountable. Instead of having them come to the military memorial, they're throwing a party in his honor soon.
