DH Richard and I are back from The Fantasticks, which was sweet and simple. It's nice occassionally to be up close to the actors and hear their voices unmiked. I wasn't crazy about El Gallo - he was a little too smarmy for me. As a director, DR Elmore gave his Mute a lot more to do than the director of the show we saw tonight. But Elmore didn't make me pole dance.
Pet peeve - parents who take children to the theatre who don't know how to behave. Richard was on the aisle, I was second, and a family of 5 sat to my left - Mom, Dad, 2 teenage girls, and a boy about 10. They put the boy next to me and he wiggled the whole time. He had on these huge hiking boot-type shoes and kept kicking me. Considerate parents would have sat on either side of him and monitored his behavior.
