I've taken a number of harbor cruises with this line around Manhatten and they're always great.

Very good. Worth watching.

I just finished watching this. It’s fascinating and really quite good. I’d recommend it.

I finally caught up with The Tudors. There's some nice eye candy with two if it's stars and a bit of sex here and there. I was hoping to escape the daily news but the episode where the plague comes to England was as scary as the current headlines. I do think Henry Cavill one of the most gorgeous guys around.
 

 

His plays will live on forever. Closest thing you can get to immortality. True genius.

I have contacted TDF and they are beginning to process refunds for cancelled performances. I also had tickets at the Park Avenue Armory for a concert of the Maria Vespers March 22. I called the box office and they have processed a refund on my credit card. If you have tickets for any performances you should be able to get a refund. This is all very sad.

Well if you had to miss a show this was probably the one to miss. But hold onto your ticket and/or receipt. The theater may let you exchange for a later date. Like the airlines they may be willing to bend some rules during this complicated time.

I got my ticket on TDF for $47 with fees. I was row A of the mezzanine on the aisle. So a good seat. But not everyone can join TDF so $50 seats are a real bargain. I can understand people‘s reluctance to going to the theater right now or going anywhere there are large groups of people. It’s not an easy choice but an individual one. Since I love going to the theater and have great respect for both performers and anyone involved in theatrical productions it makes me sad to think of empty theaters.

I didn’t have any problem with Everett’s diction. These are such exhausting roles and the energy is often at such a fever pitch if there were any stumbles I missed them. Now I want to read the play. Maybe see it a second time. I rather enjoyed watching Metcalf grab Tovey’s balls.

This is I thought a wonderful and devastating production. I went primarily for Laurie Metcalf but Rupert Everett certainly held his own. Watching George and Martha tear each other to shreds certainly kept me on edge for the entire show. Russell Tovey and Patsy Ferran didn’t get left in the dust either. How these actors can do this every night is beyond me. I left drained but in a good way. Highly recommended.

I saw a poster for this in the NYC subway yesterday.

Mostly I go see a show in the hopes that it will be a wonderful theatrical experience. But sometimes I go out of morbid curiosity to see what all the not so good reviews are about. Today I picked up a discount ticket at the TKTS booth for $87 row K in the orchestra. So a good seat. I wasn’t bored because the whole show is so misguided I was actually fascinated in a weird way. A little like driving passed an auto accident on a highway. You can’t help but look. I do like the idea of taking a fresh approach and putting a new spin on things. Unfortunately not much worked in this updated version. It was hard not to laugh when a supposedly tough street kid says “daddy o“ and later takes out his cell phone to video a cop. What year are we in anyway? Then there was all that rain and I kept thinking one of these dancers is going to be seriously injured. And do they warm the water and where does it go? I had visions of a drenched orchestra down below. The orchestra by the way is great. The cast is attractive and the dancing was exciting at times. The blind casting did make it confusing and often I couldn‘t tell the Sharks from the Jets. Since it’s a show largely about race relations that seemed an odd choice. The video does overwhelm the live action sadly. I’m not sorry I saw it which isn’t exactly a recommendation.

So far it's received mostly great reviews. Pretty quirky movie and I really liked it. The kid, Roman Griffin Davis is terrific. I first heard of the director, Taika Waititi from the movie What we Do In The Shadows which I stumbled on Amazon Prime. I thought it was hysterical. It's been turned into a tv series on FX with a different cast and now set in Staten Island instead of New Zealand. For some reason just the idea of it being in Staten Island strikes me as funny. I think it's great that Taika not only writes and directs his films he sometimes stars in them. Why not? I'm looking forward to seeing what he comes up with next and I have to look for his previous films.

I just finished watching this series on AppleTV. I thought it was quite good and reminded me of some tv shows I had actually forgotten about and others I really enjoyed seeing again.

Happily tickets just popped up on TDF with several available dates. With a cast like Laurie Metcalf, Rupert Everett, Russell Tovey and Patsy Ferran it’s got to be pretty good. For $47 how can you go wrong?

After Saturday’s performance I may have been drenched in sweat also. Happy I had a 7th row orchestra seat. Worth every penny. Those swans are possibly the most erotic dancers I’ve ever seen on stage. Brilliant on every level. Definitely worth seeing again. Where’s my credit card?

Recently at a midtown bar I started talking to a handsome young guy and asked what he did for a living.? He told me he was a dancer and I asked where he performed. He told me at the Metropolitan Opera House in Lincoln Center and he'd be in this new production of Agrippina. Intrigued I went online and bought myself a ticket for the Sunday matinee February 9. It's scary what they charge for opera tickets but I managed to find a good seat in the Balcony for $167. I'm looking forward to this production and it will be fun that someone I know (sort of) is in it. I'll bring opera glasses.
