I'd like it to call it Rainbow Beach.

I've only heard the original cast recording from 1997, which I really like. I feel for a musical that won Best Musical this has been so forgotten. It's hardly ever brought up at all... why? The music is great.

I'm sure there's been men that have spent over $10,000 for those cruises and long vacations... and that's just for the companionship itself, not even taking into account hotels, dining, arts and entertainment... If its your dream hunk, then how much would you personally spend on a night, weekend, or week?

Thanks to all of you for the advice! I definitely will re-read all of the comments and make changes to improve things!!! ?

NYC was magical in the late 90s

Gee that could be possible... so I might have diabetes? AND YES I definitely need to do a lot more walking. I used to live next to a wonderful park where I would walk every day and listen to music (carrying a CD player). I really need to start seeing a nutritionist as well!

In the late 20s and early 30s, I saw unbelievable aging happen to me. I remember when I was 27 and looked at the mirror after a hard day and never saw myself look so old. Now I'm in mid-30s and I look unbearably bad. I gained 130 pounds within the past decade, going from 140 to 270, and the weight has not gone down. At 25, I had faith I'd meet a man one day. Today, I am under no delusions anymore and realize there is no such thing as a "perfect romance." I decided to hire in my late 20s as my body was worn down because I saw the clock ticking. I was one of the last holdouts out of anyone I knew when it came to intimacy. There simply was no intimacy until I began to hire. Hiring offered a rare opportunity to meet guys I knew I could not get to look at me twice out on the street. Now at 35, I'm looking more for a really handsome companion - a weekend, dinner, and conversation. My general feelings about sex are undergoing dramatic change - I guess I'm getting older and beginning to lose interest in just the physical bodies of men. I find 35 a hard age. You're not young anymore and you're not that old either. They keep saying "40 is the new 30" and all that stuff but I think for the past decade we've seen people desperately try to hold onto their youth. I'd rather just age... gracefully if possible, but I know it's coming and I know youth is long-gone. I just wanted to share that with y'all and also ask you about your age and how you feel about it. Do you have any regrets or bitterness about the choices you've made in life? Do you struggle with aging at all? Are you secretly longing to be "young" again?

He is having issues with entering the US. What a shame!

Neither would I. Unfortunately by the time that comes around, I'll either be older than dirt or dead.

Tom Cruise really irritates me for some reason.

They'll probably have immersive virtual reality like they depicted in those futuristic Cinemax movies. You just basically jump into a jungle and get it on with Tarzan under a waterfall and it feels like real life.

Samantha was the most entertaining character on the show and some of those men she had were sexy. Victor Webster and Nick Scotti, two soap studs.

And same with A Chorus Line. Fabulous theatre.

West Side Story is magnificent.

Would love to learn more about y'all... just 7 quick questions... County where you primarily grew up Birth decade Best looking celebrity guy you've ever seen Favorite Broadway musical Favorite sport Worst movie you've ever saw Would you ever consider running for public office? I'll go first: Monroe County, Pennsylvania 1980s Jesse Metcalfe when he was on Passions Carousel Women's figure skating Spy Kids 3D: Game Over Yes!

It would be in front of the Town Hall building (:

Although I have to admit at 35 I'm already going through a midlife crisis... 35's a hard age I feel.

Now I realize there's no such thing as "perfect" fellas, but what if you were creating a town from scratch and you wanted it to be a place for gays to come and really be happy there, what would that town include? Here are my top 10 things - Please share your top 10 things too! 1. A Sheetz. Yeah, that makes no sense, but it's Sheetz lol...but the Sheetz would be lit up in rainbow colors. (Oh and the local gas station would be called 69.) 2. A community center. I live in Boston right now and we have a good health center but no real community center. I would want to build a place where there was always something fun going on - bingo nights, movie discussions, book clubs, socials, dances, parties, personalized therapy sessions, maybe an in-house masseur... a place to just relax, make friends, and be social with real live breathing people (because I believe in balance and a little time away from the iPads and iPhones...) 3. A great local theatre. It would be the size of a Broadway house - and gorgeous architecture, and the seasons would be jam-packed with all the great classic shows plus new shows as well to support up-and-coming theatre people. And of course a star-studded gala performance by the likes of Linda Eder, Donna Murphy, and Audra McDonald. 4. A college. It would be a college town - brimming with hunky hot guys of course, but I'd name it Harvey Milk University. Any gay boy around the world that wanted a rich, happy college experience surrounded by other gay boys would be able to come tuition-free... but honestly I'd make it tuition-free for ANY one as well. 5. A library. The gay bookstore may, alas, be obsolete by now but we can build a magnificent library with every gay book in creation and every Broadway cast recording ever. It would have the complete back catalogs of magazines like The Advocate and Out and Genre and also International Male and Undergear because why not? 6. A big beautiful park. I miss the old park back in PA very much, and I'd just love to have an enormous park - maybe even half the size of Central Park, and it would also have waterfalls, flower gardens, different types of trees, peaceful walking paths, brooks and streams, lakes, statues of LGBTQ trailblazers... 7. A "Main Street Gay USA". I love towns with one strip with everything on it, but this one would have cobblestone streets like Greenwich Village has, and be simply for just walking with big parking lots surrounding it. 8. A fudge and hot cookie cafe/shop. I think "Billy's Fudge Factory" is a cute name but it would be like a central place to get all different kinds of fudge, hot cookies served with milk, pastries, coffee, tea, and then an adjoining shop with homemade soaps, candles, etc. 9. A fantastic Pride Month. Drawing people by the thousands from all around the USA and the world, this town would have the world's most spectacular pride celebrations - picnics, fairgrounds, rainbow fireworks - just an all-out extravaganza! 10. A theme park. To draw in tourists and families, a big theme park would be in the town. My idea was a new water park called Splash! with rides, pirates, a real-life Titanic replica, etc. Got carried away lol but would love to hear all of your ideas as well. I've been to Provincetown a few times and this was inspired by P-town. Basically this town would combine P-town, Key West, Eureka Springs, Broadway, Greenwich Village, your everyday college town, and wrap it all up in a small town friendly feel and charm.

aww now that does make me feel a little more hopeful that I won't be the Grandpa of the campus lol

I have a feeling that NYC's days as gay capital may be ending. The city's just too expensive. It needs a complete revival.

I've learned 1 hour is not enough to really get to know anyone... and it requires a full night to really get anything out of the experience in terms of conversation.

My friend may just be bitter lol I've never been there... he may have been referring to the plastic surgery on some of the men

The South has a lot of beautiful areas with great natural beauty. I can't wait for the day when the gay kids of the South can be affirmed and accepted by nearly everybody.

What's nice is that they do have the Upper Cumberland Pride Fair there right in Cookeville, which is also a college town - Tennessee Tech.

Putnam County, Tennessee.
