Cry-Baby
We took in the last of our annivesary week shows this afternoon. We thought we were going to see A Catered Affair, but it wasn’t on tkts yesterday so we picked up Cry-Baby tickets instead. Since this is the latest musical based on a John Waters film it was on our list of shows to [...]

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

Will was not as impressed saying the show was pointless (he felt the characters had no goals to make the audience care about them). I did not agree. [...]

Idina Menzel’s I Stand
We love Idina Menzel! We became fans when we saw her in the original company of Rent, where she played Maureen (she played the same role in the film). We saw her a couple years later when she took over the role of Amneris in Aida. Most recently we saw her in her Tony winning [...]
