My half birthday is in February. Does that count?
So I was with friends, figuring out what we were gonna do/see last night. We ended up 4th row center at Sweeney for $50. Yay for Judy Kaye.
But before that, we tried lottos and other stuff. We wanted to ask a question at TKTS. So we were next in line but this stupid couple in front of us hadn't decided what they were gonna see. They were taking up the booth, but were taking FOREVER! Mamma Mia? Sweeney Todd? Maybe Dirty Rotten Scoundrels...they were aiming there and they were like but I don't know if it's good, so me and my friend like scream at the same time yes, go to DRS, it's great. And they were like, no they're lying, they just want us to move. So then my friend goes no we're really not, she *points at me* has seen it 25 times. I am dead serious. I said no she's lying. It's 24. But it is a great show, we do want you to move, so hey, 2 birds with one stone. So they went to DRS.
Actually at the picnic I got asked how many times I've seen it. I start whistling and when I finally answer, one person thought that was ridiculous, but someone else said she was expecting it to be much higher. So that made me happy.
When we walked by the stage door yesterday, 3 of the ensemble members who I never talked to waved at me. Bet they miss me. Gah, everyone in that whole show is gonna know me soon. But I did it again--started to turn on 46th street when we were supposed to turn on 49th street. Stupid habits.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
