Two years. 730 calendar days. That is not a lot of time. How remarkable that just a scant two years go by and boom, I find our 14-year-old twins to be absolutely on target to appreciate and love the exposed nerve that is Dear Evan Hansen…
Considering an Opera? You might want to Grab Your Group and GO to Marnie – at the Met NOW!
It is thanks to the “Year of Yes” way of thinking that I found myself in a ruby red seat at 10:30am on a Tuesday to view one of the final Dress Rehearsals for Marnie at The Metropolitan Opera…
KING KONG on BROADWAY
Don’t tell the husband, but I have a massive crush on a giant gorilla. My crush is 20 feet tall and weighs 2,000 pounds. He has soft brown eyes that can make you melt and a roar that can set you back, but leave you wanting more…
A Loverly Afternoon At My Fair Lady with my Fair (and kind) Friends

Want a good laugh? Then GO SEE Gettin’ the Band Back Together
Does growing up mean you have to stop doing the things that make you happy? Are there no happy moments to be found while “adult-ing”? Everyone remembers the things they loved to do when they were young, had no real responsibilities and lots of time to pursue whatever floated their boats, right?

These questions are at the heart of the show Gettin’ the Band Back Together.
Looking for your next Broadway Show? Do I ever have the resource for you (and it’s not me).
I like to think of myself as a treasure trove for tips on Broadway shows. Well maybe not a treasure trove, but certainly an unkempt drawer of Playbills…
