On a clear day you REALLY can see forever!

As many of you might know they are doing a revival of On a Clear Day You Can See Forever on Broadway. Now, many people do not know this musical but with a name like Harry Connick, Jr. on the marquee it should do just fine. Our building happens to have amazing studios for Broadway show rehearsals and just happens to be housing rehearsals for On a Clear Day You Can See Forever.

Thus begins one of the best moments of my life:

It had been a long and hard day when BB stepped onto the elevator from the top floor of her building. With her were 2 coworkers (one of boss ranking). She pushed the first floor button praying that it wouldn't stop the whole way down so that she could get to the train (and, subsequently, home) faster. Of course, her express elevator prayers went unanswered as they stopped on the 8th floor to let on another coworker. BB made a small joke about how it was no longer possible to get down to the lobby in under a minute. The elevator stops again. But this time the doors opened to Harry Connick, Jr. Of course, this time no one made a joke as Mr. Connick, Jr. stepped onto the elevator.

BB said "Hi, there" before she could stop herself and Harry (you can use first names after you've physically spoken to a celebrity) said "Hey" back. Boss ranking coworker made a comment that Harry hadn't been able to finish his lunch, because he was carrying a container of salad. He said that it was actually his 5th lunch of the day and, of course, the whole elevator guffawed at his amazing wit. BB told him that it looked good and Harry responded that he was "tired of eating this shit" and that "they made him eat that stuff" so that he "didn't gain weight." The whole elevator laughed again and immediately lost their hearts to this tall, attractive (but tragically) meat and potato-less man. BB said that she was sorry and almost swooned when Harry smiled at her in response.

The elevator got to the first floor and everyone filed out, Harry leading the way. BB and her coworker (from the 8th floor) were the last out. BB grabbed his shoulder and whispered "This was the best moment of my life." Her coworker said, "Yeah, so totally worth the crappy day I had, just for that moment."

Agreed. I danced down the street and immediately called my Mom to tell her. It was magic.

I leave you humming "This Magic Moment."
