Prince Is A Big Fan Of West Side Story
So you heard the Tony Awards took place yesterday, right? Prince did as well! And he watched it too! And he really loved Karen Olivo from West Side Story, so much that he bought 20 tickets to her show so he can watch it all alone!
According to various reports, Prince was watching the Tony’s last night and flipped for Olivo, so much so that he ventured out into the Manhattan night and showed up unannounced at the cast afterparty at Hudson Terrace. Prince then expressed a desire to see the show and will do so “next Tuesday and has asked for a spot in the balcony, where he can buy the twenty seats surrounding him so no one can sit near him.”
Maybe he’s thinking that Karen Olivo could become the new Sheila E.?

Uh oh, Karen Olivo sure fits the profile of women Prince "likes." I bet he wrote about her in his diary...
Dear Diary. I saw this girl last night, she's a cross between that chick I was married to in the 90s, Nia Peebles and Rosario Dawson, Isn't that delicious? I think I'll call her CoCo...
@The-Littlest-Hobo: Did he dunk on her? (Why am I still up?)

The first time I saw Karen Olivo I thought "she's a little Appoloniaish, no?"
Hopefully she will politely return all gifts of lacy unitards and purple velvet frock coats.

Karen's married...well, not for long. Too bad "Karen O" is already taken. It was probably Prince's go-to for the grand renaming ceremony which will consummate their funky union.
@The-Littlest-Hobo: and you know he didn't get that shirt in the men's department.
@jasonelias: It's only a matter of months before she releases a dance album ghostwritten by Prince. See E., Sheila; Vanity.

@The-Littlest-Hobo:
@City_Dater: Yeah indeed. She can't compare with Appolonia on all levels though. Olivo can actually sing.. I hope she never buys Prince a guitar...
@The New No. 2: Now that sounds like some good/bad fun heh heh.
