Is it really Broadway if it isn't a little gay?

Johnathon Groff

Since the release of "Frozen" in 2013, Johnathon Groff has become quite the household name. However, he made a name for himself as an original cast member of "Spring Awakening" way back in 2006, alongside his "Glee" co-star, Lea Michelle.

Laverne Cox

Laverne Cox is one of my personal favorites due to her role as Sophia Burset in the Netflix original "Orange is the New Black." She has been an inspiration and an advocate for the LGBT community, producing shows such as "TRANSform Me."

Neil Patrick Harris

Actor, writer, producer, comedian, magician, singer. What can Neil Patrick Harris NOT do? Harris has been in theatre productions such as "Rent," "Romeo and Juliet" and "Sweeney Todd," as well as TV shows like: "The Simpsons," "Quantum Leap," "Numb3rs," "How I Met Your Mother," and more recently, the Netflix original "A Series of Unfortunate Events."

Alan Cumming

Alan Cummings has been in stage productions of: "Hamlet," "Accidental Death of an Anarchist," Bent" and "The Threepenny Opera."

John Barrowman

"Miss Saigon," "Phantom of the Opera," "Sunset Boulevard," and "Matador" are just a few of the AMAZING shows John Barrowman has stared in, along side TV shows such as: "Doctor Who," "Torchwood," and "The Arrow." He has also served as a judge and mentor on Andrew Loydd Webber's reality shows "I'd Do Anything," Any Dream Will Do" and "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria."

Andy Mientus

Andy Mientus has starred in Broadway productions of "Spring Awakening," "Wicked," and "Les Misérables," as well as in NBC's "Smash" and CW's "The Flash."

Ellen Page

Personally speaking, Ellen Page has been one of my biggest inspirations since I saw her on "X-Men" for the first time.

Noah Galvin

Noah Galvin began his theatre career in "Les Misérables" as Gavroche in 2005 and began his Broadway career as the title character in "Dear Evan Hansen" as a temporary replacement of Ben Platt.

Ben Levi Ross

Ben Levi Ross was casted as the understudy of Connor Murphy in "Dear Evan Hansen" and was recently casted as Evan in the First National Tour starting in 2018.

Taylor Trensch

Taylor Trensch started his theatre career in "Les Misérables," "Rent," "Wicked," and "Hello, Dolly!" As of 2018 he is playing Evan in "Dear Evan Hansen."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
