Enjoyed the KevinH and Jose reports.
Friday's show was A Little Night Music. It was interesting to see a different take (I saw Angela Lansbury and Catherine Zeta-Jones last year). Elaine Stritch did her schtick, which is funny. And Bernadette Peters sounded great. She was very gracious after the show. Paul and I were in the back of the line and one of the theatre employees offered to take our playbills up to her to sign--that was a first!
On Wednesday my friend Paul and I went to the Times Square Visitors' Center for Seth Rudetsky's radio show. He interviewed singer/actress Julia Murney who performed "All That Jazz" splendidly. His other guest was a composer--I think his name was David Friedman (sound familiar, Jose and elmore?). He was very entertaining.

He's currently one of Kathie Lee Gifford's writing partners. He writes the "Everyone Has A Story" songs for "The Today Show" with her.

We took a tour of Radio City Music Hall on Friday. It was a lot of fun. While I've been there before (the first time was in 1969), it's been quite a while. One of the Rockettes gave a little talk and posed for pictures. And I found out that "Rockette" has nothing to do with Rockefeller Center. The name is a derivation of the original name for the troupe, which was the Rockets --they were from the midwest , I think.
Jose, have you tried the Nips peanut butter?
