The performances are not until this Friday and Saturday. We have tickets for Friday, but right now, the forecast is for rain.

I love that publicity photo of Patti. She looks beautiful.
And, I'm sorry, rain what? It's not allowed to rain! Sure, I don't have lawn seats, but are the "regular" seats underneath anything?

yes, the pavillion seats are covered -- but half the fun of ravinia is picnicing before -- I hope it does not rain on anyone's Patti parade -- especially mine!

Thanks for the reassurance, K! I don't want anything to spoil my date with Michael. And, you know, those other two chicks.

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Wish I could see this...If only I went to Chicago two weeks later! Chicago BWWers, please write reviews of this production. I'm dying to hear about it.
Patti's promo shot is ah-maz-ing!

Can't believe I saw 'Sunday' last year, met Patti after the show and get neither this year.
Judy Garland lyrics keep playing in my head - "You can't have everything. Be satisfied with the little you may have."
Looking forward to the reviews.

We are taking the kids for their first outing to Ravinia to see Patti and company. We also have a friend in the chorus.

Just bought my ticket! Can't wait to sit on the lawn with some wine and listen(hopefully watch, we'll see where we can get seats!) to Patti, along with Michael Cerveris, Audra McDonald, and John Mahoney...who are also performing.
There's always room for pathos - and jazz hands.

There is a Ravinia Special ticket for the train at the Ogilvie Metra station at Madison and Canal. I believe it is $4 round-trip and departs at 6pm. Taxis are everywhere near the train station. I work in the building, so I bring everything to the office with me. Depending on when the show lets out, there could be a long wait for the train to go home. There is supposed to be one 15 minutes after the end of the performance, but I haven't seen that happen in the last two years.
