Hey Kelly2- Whatcha think about the playbill yearbook? I got one too... Its too bulky and did not have much info...that I already did not know...Its the PLAYBILL they handout to every show....with cast photos..mostly...though I was glad I saw Linda (Helen Hayes ) Matt ( Schoenfield) and John (Walter Kerr) pics- that was the highlight bec. I know these guys......

I might just give mine away.... I love Broadway Theater's book better with pictures of theater's architecture & history ... this one did not do much for me

Jaystarr- I really enjoyed it, just because it brought back a lot of memories of shows, and the little interviews with the casts from my favorite shows were really cute!

So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?

I also got a record player that comes with the hookup and software to convert LPs to digital, so I'm looking forward to some great OBCR album hunting!
