76 Trombones

I need you badly, badly, Madam Librarian…Marian
If I stumbled and I busted my what-you-may-call-it
I could lie on your floor

The Music Man was stunning. The performance really could not have been better. While I am familar with the play's music, this was my first time seeing the actual play. I'd say it was one of the best I've seen, if not the best. The talented actors and actresses at the Muny truly did justice to it.
I'll write more about it tomorrow, but I had to say at least that much. You'll have to wait until tomorrow for my comments on Kerry's speech as well — since I was at the Muny, I had to record the fourth and final night of the DNC and I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I will tomorrow, however…

RE: 76 Trombones
I am glad it was good, wish I had a chance to see it this week. I really like going to shows and I frequent the Muny, the Rep, and even the Fox each year. I went to see Cats but was rained out and then I ended up seeing Annie the next week which I thought was excellent. I have never seen The Music Man…
RE: 76 Trombones
Thanks Pressed. I like going to them too — I just don’t do it enough. I think I might try to catch a few at the Fox over the Fall/Winter season this year.
I would think Annie would be good. Wish I could have seen it. I would have liked to have seen Cats too, but it didn’t work out.
RE: 76 Trombones
The only thing I got at Cats was wet.
However, Annie was excellent. I looked at the line up for the fox and I do want to see Chicago when it is there. You should try the Repretory Theater sometime. Christopher always has season tickets and I end up going to at least two or three shows there. I have yet to see a show that was not good, or at least was not entertaining. I’ve really enjoyed it. It is also fairly cheap.
