Yeah, Addy, I got a text last night from a certain Maitre d' ...

We're going to see PETER AND THE STARCATCHER tomorrow night -- very excited. I've heard such incredible things about it.

He was so sweet! Amd our service last night was impeccable - which makes up for the rare instance of disappointing service when Moony and I were there in December. It was nice to return!

I can't wait to hear what you think about PETER...
I think it's enchanting.

I've always been enchanted by Peter.

Come on folks, you make me do it.

Many of us are enchanted by Peter Somms. It has just been a while since I have been under his spell... alas.

Happy Friday Adults. Quiet weekend planned. Hair cut and color, maybe dinner with friends, and then playing with my new iPad and trying to figure it out.

Addy, sounds like last night was a blast.

Deet - have fun tomorrow!

Happy pre-cocktail hour Friday the 13th!

I thought I'd drop by and say "hello" and that I hope this finds everyone doing well. What's happening? Charles and I had a terrific dinner at Osteria al Doge last week with a loving old friend and a new friend. Tonight we're going to 1 Man, 2 Govs. It was delightful to see that Rachel York will be joining the Encores cast of Gentlemen. By one of life's twists of fate Rachel will be co-starring with Megan Hilty who as you know plays a Marilyn Monroe wanna-be on NBC's Smash while Rachel played Marilyn in last year's workshop of Charles' now-in-the-deep-freeze Broadway bound musical Me and Miss Monroe. Said workshop was directed by John Rando, the Gentlemen director, in another twist of fate. Ah, the show business. I'm semi-retired and working 3 days a week for an indefinite period and helping Charles where I can. His musical Frog Kiss, which starred Curtis Holbrook in 2010 at NYMF, will be on the boards again in Virginia come January, as it begins its way to the way that is great white. Let's see what happens. We caught a terrific show by Brent Barrett and Karen Mason earlier this week at Birdland. They performed all Kander and Ebb. Brent did the best-ever arrangement of All That Jazz that I've ever heard. It is arranged with a jazz harmonica. I understand it is on Brent's Kander & Ebb CD. Must get it.

Thanks for letting me pop by I'd like to do so again. Take care all.

Evenin', peeps!

It is a pretty Saturday morning down here - part of a lovely and rather lengthy Indian Summer. The only downside to all this loveliness is that I woke with a heavy cold. So, I am spending the day in bed, or on bed, or around bed and near a tissue box. So, no lovely outdoor Saturday for me.

Addy, I'm so glad your evening was such a success! Many Happy Returns to you, dear Addy.

Soon the adults will be waking and starting their workweek, whilst I can't find the sleep to end the weekend.

Good weekend it was - first official ride on my new bike, first run-through of Bernarda Alba, Titanic on 3D last night, and a day spent doing much of nothing today.

I'm with DD.

But I don't include him in the sentiment, "no sleep for the wicked." That's just for me :)

Good morning everyone. What a glorious day!

Spring Break is over. Sniff.
Pollen count is soaring. Sniff, sniff.
It's Monday morning. Sniff, sniff, sniff.

The Times review for PETER AND THE STARCATCHERS is a well deserved rave, but I have to wonder: in what world is Christian Borle tall? And blond? I think Ben has been fantasizing again.

(Borle was on one of those flights from Sarasota to New York that I was constantly taking when my parents were dying. He's short.)

I enjoyed the show; J2 not so much. I'm glad it's getting basically good reviews -- it's a lot of fun.

I brought a vase of lilacs, wisteria and crabapple blossoms into the office. Sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff. NOTHING!

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 4/16/12 at 8:18am

I usually have a big vase of fresh-cut flowers in my office, but I'm not refilling it until my allergy attacks subside. Maybe I'll replace it with a cactus garden.

I'd LOVE to see Pater and the the Starcatcher. I wonder how long Borle will be able to stay on...

I want to see it also, cuz. But, they literally took over Facebook last night and it was annoying as all heck.

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 4/16/12 at 8:26am

Well then, I'm not seeing it with THOSE people! I'll see it with you.

[D2]

Posted: 4/16/12 at 8:30am

I hope you don't see it with the people we saw it with, Moony. One of the strangest audiences I've ever been with, capped by the man who brought a Muppet with him as his date.

I think the constant audience distractions pulling so much attention away from the show is why J2 disliked it so -- I have to admit I found it hard to focus because of the noise and general misbehavior going on around us.

To say nothing of the couple in the row in front of us who hadn't showered after their visit to the gym. Last week.

Morning.

I want to see it, too.

Somms, I finally had to hide updates by them. I was ready to go post on their wall to knock it the heck off. I'll unhide them in a few days. UGH!

My cousin's daughter is getting married and she had a small shower at her home yesterday. All six of us granddaughters on my mom's side were there. We're rarely at the same place at the same time. I think the last time was the funeral for the cousin's husband that got killed in Alaska. Time before that was a funeral for their brother. So, this was the first time for a happy event. LOL!

Morning peeps! Spent the weekend sick in bed. HC took such good care of me. I was hoping to have a better anniversary celebration yesterday, but my body would only allow me to make it to the couch. I got a lovely card at my homemade breakfast. It contained 2 tickets for Godspell in June. I'd invite 1 of you, but I think it only fitting to bring him. He rented 2 movies for us to watch. 1 for him (Scream 4) and 1 for me (Puss in Boots). Both were very entertaining. My fever finally broke in the middle of the night and so hoepfully the worse is over.

BTW I see Jose popped in for a brief visit. Glad things are going well for him. I'd like a semi-retirement.

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 4/16/12 at 9:20am

Jose was here? I missed that!

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 4/16/12 at 9:24am

Moony, we didn't! I don't think I even realized all six of us were there, until I was driving home! Maybe if we all make it to the wedding!

Poor Boobala.

Posted: 4/16/12 at 9:30am

I was on the sofa yesterday also Boobsie. I nicked my lip shaving on Saturday and it got infected and blistered by Sunday. I can't describe the pain. Plus I looked like I had herpes -- SHUT UP! Almost back to normal today. Weird.

Good morning all!

Had to break out all the fans this morning, it be hot up in here. I do want to see P&TS but I guess I'm not friends with the same people you are friends with because my FB was quiet.

Last day off. boo. I don't wanna go back. I made the mistake of checking my email this morning. ugh. No to decide if it is a couch day or get out and do errands day.

Glad to hear everyone is feeling better!
