Gypsy
As part of our anniversary week of shows, this afternoon we took in the latest revival of Gypsy starring Patti LuPone, Laura Benanti and Boyd Gaines. It was an excellent way to spend the afternoon. As Will put it during intermission, this show is “pretty f***ing brilliant!”
This is our second Gypsy since we came to [...]
Les Liaisons Dangereuses
This afternoon we started our anniversary week of theatre with Les Liaisons Dangereuses, a new staging of Christopher Hampton’s 1987 play . We were attracted to this production because of its cast list featuring Laura Linney, Ben Daniels and Siân Phillips.

A Little iPod Magic
Category: Music, Theatre | tagged Bare: A Pop Opera, Spring Awakening
As I’ve written before, I tend to leave my iPod on shuffle, a rotation of 800+ songs that takes me a few weeks to get through. I have an odd policy of iPod maintenance. I need to get through the entire cycle before I sync the iPod over again to add or subtract songs. Yes, [...]
