I was row H, center tonight. Since this is a good review, let me blab even though it’s a preview: Apparently one of the producers was right in front of me. I didn’t know it was him, but just turned to the first person I saw at intermission to say “Wow! I wasn’t expecting that!”  I mean it was jaw dropping my good.  (To be honest, I felt the British cast recording was lousy, but this was so tight and punchy.)

I wear to bejesus... the only reason I went to see MY FAIR LADY was to hear the first 8 notes of the overture and the old couple behind me got into the hearing aid discussion the second it began...  Several other people gave them turn backs -- and its a dialogue heavy show.   I turned back, and they were like children.  They had these, "It wasn't us..."

Did you say you saw it 94 times???

My wife is on my case for seeing it 10 times (in 6 months.)

I hope this isn’t OT. I tend to go see musicals REPEATEDLY and on the spur when I like them. (Up to viewing 8 of DOLLY w/Bernadette.). Going alone is ok, but it’s nice to have someone/ some folks knowledgeable and/or passionate to gab with at intermission — no drinks or dining before after — that would cut into my ticket budget!!!) Anyway, wondering if there’s any folks within a stones throw of BROADWAY who are up to catching shows.on the spur
