You know, today would have been a nice day to go into the city and catch a quick musical. Would've loved me some Xanadu today. I kind of miss it, even though it is not my absolute favorite show ever.

I might see something next Wednesday's matinee, and I really am in the mood to see a fun, feel-good musical. I am thinking 9 to 5 or Hair. Any other recommendations besides those two?

I miss it too.

'9 to 5' really is fun and feel good, I would see that.

'Hair' is simply brilliant though, too.

Millie, I miss Xanadu too. Especially on a gorgeous summer day.. Nothing like a shot of Mary and Jackie to make everything all better.

I think your best best is 9 to 5. HAIR is great but pretty intense at times. 9 to 5 is pure fun and bliss. :)

I know Hair is pretty intense at times, but I love the music and it was an absolutely fun show. Might check out 9 to 5 next week. Thanks!

Uh I miss Xanadu too.

How about something Off-Broadway like Marvelous Wonderettes or Toxic Avenger?
