So, instead of seeing
Les Miserables, I headed up to the 79th Street Boat Basin for a friend's 40th Birthday Party. I'm actually glad I went. I was able to touch base with Bess, the Birthday Girl - she was my stage manager for
All About Us, and a couple other
All About Us-ers were there too. As was one of the keyboard players from
A Chorus Line, a couple of actors and actresses, some conductors and pianists, etc., etc., etc. -She was one of the original stage managers for
Wicked, as well as Martin Short's
Fame Becomes Me, so there were lots of "biz" people there. It was a nice party right under the "bridge" there by the water. It was hot, but it wasn't too bad, and they had a separate bar set up for the party people. I'm glad I went. -And I guess there was a reason for
not going to see
Les Miserables tonight.
