Yes, but it's a work visit.
I'm back to Chi by Tues.
Fortunately I've got a good friend at The Color Purple and I'll have house seats tomorrow. :)

Have fun!!! Lachanze was spot on on Wednesday, as I'm sure she will be again!

Oh, I've never met him.
I liked A Little Night Music at Shakespeare.

Can't wait for Lachanze!

She is truly phenomenal. I have not put down the cast recording since I bought it. "I'm Here" is so beautiful.

Glebb, I want a full report...especially as I never got to see it as my tix were during the blizzard, and all flights were cancelled ;o(

I'm so sorry Elphaba. I hope you get another opportunity to see the show.
I really enjoyed myself.
TCP was a pretty and moving show.
The cast is dripping with talent and they gave every ounce of their energy to the audience on Sunday. It's fast paced, never boring and I would see it again.
Felicia P. Fields, Kingsley Leggs, Elisabeth Withers-Mendes, Brandon Victor Dixon, Darlesia Cearcy, Krishn Marcano and especially LaCanze all gave stellar performances.
I'm listening to the recording on my iTunes right now.

Seeing The Color Purple on Saturday night. Very excited. I've seen LaChanze now in Baby at Papermill, Dessa Rose and can't wait to see her this weekend. There was a meet and greet at Lincoln Center that I went to last year. She was very gracious and friendly, an extra special performer.
