Before the Saturday recording sessions I caught Abigail in the kids' show she's currently in: A (Tooth) Fairy Tale. Turns out the piece was written by an old bud from my TheaterMania days, Ben Winters. Funny, funny, funny and an unexpected gay underscoring (as in lines like "It's okay Steve, I know this fairy".) It also boasts a really talented score by Rick Hip-Flores (I love that name!), and tells the story of Samuel, a "do-it-my-own-way" type of kid who trades places, at least for a time, with a discontented, unfulfilled Tooth Fairy. It's absolutely charming and I've been humming a piece called "The Scoop" for three days now.
Interestingly, I saw a short piece just a few weeks ago included in Blue Coyote's soft-core porn eve Happy Endings that was also about the discontents of the Tooth Fairy, going to hilarious lengths to explain how she makes all that dough. She's a dirty girl!!!
Anyway, in the much cleaner-cut version from the weekend, above is Jarusha Ariel as the title fairy.
