Just saw this in the National Review:

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/446097/new-yorkers-musical-outstanding

"Under the baton of conductor Rob Berman, the 30-piece Encores! orchestra is right on stage throughout all the action. It beautifully performs Porter’s sophisticated melodies and lush, new arrangements by Josh Clayton and Larry Moore. These musicians are full of surprises, as just the right sound from a bell, triangle, or trombone, at just the right time, elicits fresh titters.

This is a splashy entertainment for fans of musical comedy and the Great American Songbook and anyone who happens to like New York."

Good morning, all!

If I had my druthers, I'd stay in bed all day and get up tomorrow morning. I may skip today's matinee at 3; I haven't decided yet.

It was so nice seeing everyone yesterday. I'm happy to have met DR JohnG finally. The New Yorkers was so much fun, with terrific songs. I was so happy for DR Elmore and that he was singled out at the talkback.

Thanks, DR KevinH! Celia Berk posted a photo of the talkback, and I thought, I did not know what to do with my hands!

After leaving the diner I went to the Lyceum Theatre. I was approaching the box office and a man asked if I needed a ticket. He said one of his group of four couldn't make it. I asked how much. He said face value ($25). Ever the cynic, i asked why it was so cheap. He said because there was a special price when the tickets first went on sale a few months ago.

I forgot to mention that the show was "The Play That Gies Wrong."

KevinH · « **Reply #38 on:** March 26, 2017, 08:04:35 AM »

"Goes" wrong

KevinH · « **Reply #39 on:** March 26, 2017, 08:09:27 AM »

So, I agreed to buy the ticket. The woman scanned my ticket and said " please stand to the side. The manager wants to see you." Huh?

KevinH · « **Reply #40 on:** March 26, 2017, 08:10:05 AM »

The other 3 people then came along and she told them the same thing.

KevinH · « **Reply #41 on:** March 26, 2017, 08:11:50 AM »

Getting paranoid, I thought we were going to be told you can't buy or sell a ticket in the lobby. Of course that has nothing to do with the ticket being flagged in the computer.

KevinH · « **Reply #42 on:** March 26, 2017, 08:14:31 AM »

Anyway, the manager finally arrived in about 5 minutes and said that the stage was set up in such a way that the tickets we had were now partial view so she had better seats for us

My amazing breakfast , home baked fig tart made with homegrown figs

Thank you John G, it was delicious!

I had tried to get a ticket for Sunday in the
Park with George, which my friend was seeing, but it was sold out. It's a good thing I didn't get a ticket because I most likely would have dozed off from time to time. That's what happened at the show I did see. And it's not so bad when you only pay $25.

KevinH · « **Reply #45 on:** March 26, 2017, 08:18:47 AM »

Yes, thank you for the homemade tart, JohnG! I will have it later.

So the show. I've come to the conclusion that a little farce goes a long way. While I admire the wonderful timing and talent of the actors and director and everyone else connected with the show, I just didn't think a lot of it was funny. I was clearly in the minority as the rest of the audience seemed to love it. Of course maybe I missed the best bits when my eyes were closed.

Beautiful photo of the tart, DR vixmom!

I will be enjoying mine in just a few minutes.

My phone takes the world's worst photos in this type of distance and lighting situation. If there were no other reason to get another phone, this one would be sufficient. That having been said, here is some smaller than usual photographic evidence of the boys speaking at the talkback.

I snapped a bunch, and most were blurry discolored messes.

OH MY GOD.

It's incredible.

It's amazing. These are some well traveled tarts!

(Hmm. Was that line in "The New Yorkers"?)
