Fred raved last night and now it's my turn.
Frost/Nixon is one of the finest things I have seen in many a year. If Michael Sheen and Frank Langella don't win a co-Tony for Best Actor in a Play there is no justice.
I know the Watergate events inside out. I was 21, out of high school for three years and a month away from beginning adventures at University. I was riveted by the whole experience (Watergate). I was also riveted by Frost/Nixon. Even though I knew how it ended I was breathless by the end. What a great, great night in the theatre!!!
Now I have to get a ticket to Legally Blonde. I wish they had the really cheap tickets in the balcony as they did for All Shook Up (it took place in 1950 so the balcony tix were $19.50). The cheapest tickets are $46.50. I will look into the Playbill discount.
In other theatre news we are seeing Angela Lansbury and Marian Seldes in Deuce. Tickets were purchased yesterday for April 18, a week after it begins previews.
We went to Junior's for dinner yesterday, before Frost/Nixon. It's nice. It's crowded but the food is decent, the service is good and the prices are moderate. They also have a counter so if you're a single you can sit and eat uninterrupted. I don't know if they take reservations (I doubt it) but I recommend it as an alternative to other high priced places in the theatre district.
Gotta go do the obvious.
Later, gaters.
