THE BATTERY'S DOWN: TONIGHT!!!

Hey guys! Don't forget to watch the new episode of THE BATTERY'S DOWN, premiering tonight at midnight! From what I've seen, this is gearing up to be an amazing episode and I'll definitely be making a campy cameo in it.

Celia has a blog??!

Who knew?? I was checking my referrals yesterday and celiakeenanbolger.blogspot.com popped up. I was so delighted to see that my sister has totally started blogging without my even knowing. I'm so excited to see that all three Keenan-Bolgers now have blogs! (Maggie's is a blogger at 4th Meal productions). So check out Celia's Blog! I have a feeling she'll turn out to be quite the blogger.

Alysha Umphress Amazingness

Alysha gives us a delicious rendition of Jonathan Reid Gealt's "Quiet" made famous on youtube last year by Natalie Weiss. I think this is a gorgeous new interpretation of the song. Both her vocals and acting are stunning. Look out for her on the upcoming episode of THE BATTERY'S DOWN on Sunday night!

The Racial Back-Pedal

Hey guys! Check out our new Crosspatch Productions video. It's called "The Racial Back-Pedal" and it's inspired by people we've met who make racist comments and then dig themselves into an even deeper hole by backpedalling. Check it out, there's some hilarious performances by some of the POPPINS folks.

"Damaged" (Acoustic Cover) by 2 recent Carnegie Mellon grads

I am totally living for this cover right now! It's an acoustic rethinking of Danity Kane's "Damaged" and is performed by Brittany Alexandra Campbell and Bradley Horwitz, two recent grads from CMU. I've been obsessed with Brittany's voice since I heard it ten years ago--no joke! We did A CHRISTMAS CAROL on bway together when we were little guys, and if I remember correctly, for the majority of the run we were in the throes of an adolescent showmance! See, guess I even had taste back then :D Enjoy and be sure to sub her channel!

AHHHH!H!H!HH!H!H

Karen Olivo you had best watch out! You live your life, sir! Gigging!

Andrew's Blog (The Wild, Wild Party One)

Hey guys! Here's my new blog that I filmed over my Birthday weekend. I had seriously one of the best birthday parties ever and I'm so glad to have this as a memory forever and ever.

New Vlog today!

Hey guys! I just finished up a new fancy video blog. Keep checkin back, it should be up shortly!

"I mean, when you've got friends like mine..."

AhhHHHH!H!!!! I'm in LOVE! My friends made me a full length surprise Video Blog for my birthday and it is AMAZING! I miss all you guys so much!! Thanks for the B-day wishes!

Millennium Park

This is a little artsy short that I filmed in Chicago's Millennium Park this week.
Living in Chicago I've become obsessed all over again with the Sufjan Stevens: ILLINOISE record. This is the second installment in my ode to him and to this great city.

THE BATTERY'S DOWN: Outtakes!

New Auto-Tune the News

I'm so inspired by these guys! Here's there latest offering. So happy to see some amazing riffs by Katie Couric and even an appearance by mah girl Rachel Maddow!

More from Gavin on Marriage Equality

This is getting gooood

Hahaha, apparently Heather has stirred up some controversy at school and people are NOT taking to it. Um, thank you random campy high school ladies for giving me so many delicious videos to watch during commercial breaks of Make Me a Supermodel.

GORGEOUS!

Hehehe, she's my sister so I totally am allowed to gloat for a sec. Check out my sister's new headshot. She looks stunning! AND she totally chose the one I liked the most, so I really gotta hand it to her :D
I seriously feel like I'm looking at a movie star.

SUBTEXT! SUBTEXT! SUBTEXT!

Just when I thought these might be fizzling out, Heather is gives us some serious Steppenwolf. Heather, if you're reading this, you need to know that you are a RICH individual and deserve friends who don't try to bring you down. Also, I hope that many, many people come to your Natalie Weiss/Hannah Montana themed birthday party and if I could I'd totes be there because that sounds like a rrrrichcampyrichrichrich party.

A Great Cause!

Check out Broadway actor and recent TONY nominee, Gavin Creel's announcement of a new group of artists rallying together for equality. BROADWAY IMPACT is "community of actors, directors, stage managers, fans, and producers united by the simple belief that anyone who wants to should be able to get married." Join him, along with a slew of fancy Broadway actors, on May 17th to "educate and inspire our community into action towards equality." As an actor in these times of change, it's easy to feel like we are living passively and that our craft isn't contributing to the movement so needed in our community. That's why it's wonderful to some of the most creative and progressive minds in our field banding together and making our voices heard!
...that and also, Gavin's video is adorable and will hopefully inspire several more :D

More details about their upcoming rally and what YOU can do to help on their website

Los Hombres de "El Cuartel's" SICK new video

The three Hombres bring us a kind of amazing arrangement of three very unexpected tunes. Girls, you might want to e-mail one of them asking for the arrangement. I've got a feeling this is going to be a new talent show standard :D

The saga continues!

Heather's most recent video entitled "Andrew Keenan Bolger is stuck up and in a BABY show." RICH!! Heather, what must I do to win back your affection? You've got me on my knees here!

Can't wait for this!

Randy Blair and Timothy Michael Drucker (creators of *2008 Fringe Festival's Best Musical of the Year--PEREZ HILTON SAVES THE UNIVERSE) have just released a trailer for their new show that just got picked up by the NYMF. I'm sure once again they are going to be the hit of the festival with this campy, campy looking show. Check it out!

I just got the Holy Ghost!

Undoubtedly my favorite video I've seen this week! Why couldn't my church have been this fun growing up. Kind of a slow start but don't jump ship, halfway through it gets UNBELIEVABLY RICH! Ugh! I want that lady in the gold dress to be my grandma!.

Thanks Erich Bergen for the tip! Follow him on twitter if you aren't already :)

Single Ladies Jazzercise

Apparently I have way too much downtime in the show if it means I'm making video projects like this. But anyway, I was watching Judi Sheppard Misset's CAAAAMPY jazzercise videos with the cast and couldn't stop picturing them doing these rich lady moves to Beyonce's "Single Ladies." I posted this on the KeenanBlogger Channel, so if you're looking for it that's where it lies. I'm gonna keep putting stuff on that channel that I'm scared could possibly be deleted from UrInTown, so if you haven't subscribed to it you might want to.

Colleen Ballinger & Ariana Grande...GIGGING!

Colleen (Miranda) and Ariana (that 14-year old pocket Shosh from 13) give us a lesson in optioning and how to gig on a standard. This is the campiest duo I've seen at the Laurie Beechman since Dana Steingold & Natalie Weiss out mixing each other at GIRLY SHOW 2.

My Name Is Heather And I Love Miranda Sings but Not Andrew Keenan Bolger Anymore

Ugh! This is rich--a video diary from one of Miranda's biggest fans! There is so much subtext going on here. Sadly, she's outgrown my blogs and thinks I'm fugly but that's okay Heather, I still have a lot of love for you and your campy, campy videos. I'd suggest subbing her channel. Judging by the brilliant previous youtube personas that she's created, I think we're in store for some delicious youtube treats.

Jake's "Purpose"

Ha! This video's amazing! it was made by ztslovebird. Great job, it looks like this took forever! Hmmm...maybe Jake should play Princeton/Rod in AVENUE Q...

THIS IS SO COOL!

Michael Buckley AKA whatthebuck AKA buckhollywood is hands down my favorite person of the week! He gave myself and the UrInTown channel an amazing shout out on his most recent blog that skyrocketed my viewership and subscribers like no other. I wish I could do the same for him, so for the 13 of my subscribers who AREN'T already subscribers of him, check it out :D Michael, I can't thank you enough. You're the greatest!

Miss California on Gay Marriage--"No Offense"

Hey guys, check out our new video! It is incredibly RICH and I'm so proud of how it turned out! Freaking Clark Johnsen is a genius. I sincerely hope that this finds its way into the hands of Miss Carrie Prejean.

OH MY INCREDIBLY RICH RICH GOD!

Words cannot describe the richness that is the new episode of THE BATTERY'S DOWN. You guys are going to die from the pitch-perfect-killing-me-with-camp that this episode explodes with. I'm still laughing!!
