Not only are they doing the movie version, there's at least one new song by the guys who wrote Next to Normal.  Barry Pearl and Didi Conn are making cameo appearances.  If you've seen the photos you know they're copying the movie.  I'm attending a dress rehearsal.

Will you be able to tell us your thoughts in advance?

It is seven degrees here with a wind chill of minus 14........

It's in the 40s and I feel as if it were about the same here. But I'm cold when it gets below 70.

Watched new episodes of Doc Martin and Downton Abbey tonight.  Interesting "surprise" at the end of Downton.

The cedar pollen is blowing in fast and furiously. The count is up over 28,000. And people are suffering.

Maybe it's the raw honey that I've been eating daily for the past six months.

Watching some more Carol Burnett. Funniest sketch so far features Don Rickles, Nanette Fabray and Harvey Korman. Not Carol.

Happy Anniversary to Ginny and Richard!! :D

My daughter's plans for the day include several hours in the bathtub reading her Kindle -- her favorite way to spend a day off.

I would be too afraid that it would fall in the water!

I have read books in the bath, but no way is my Nook going in there. ;D

I would never read my Kindle when bathing...mainly because I only take showers.

;)

I've decided to go see today's matinee of "Arcadia" at Lakewood Playhouse.

Jed and company are getting really powerful reviews.

The Lakewood Playhouse production of "Arcadia" by Tom Stoppard starring DR Jed was very good.  I didn't realize that Jed was actually one of the leads.  He was great!  I thoroughly enjoyed the show.

My friend Michael was only in the first scene, so I didn't get to see him after the show, but I did get to see and chat with Jed.  The house was about half full, and the woman next to me mentioned the empty seats, but the people who were there seemed to really enjoy it, also.  Anyway, I had a great time and highly recomend it!

Thoughts for DR TCB that he has a better day today....have a great rehearsal.

I enjoyed seeing ARCADIA last fall, but it everybody doesn't talk fast, it could be a very long show....I would think.

That was one thing that I noticed while watching it...they kept up the pace and it never dragged.

Why would they do that?  Are they also going to have Danny sing the lead on "Greased Lightnin'" instead of Kenickie? :-\

I had a lovely cry or two or three at Allegiance today.  The songs were not memorable which was a shame but the story and the actors moved me greatly

Last night I learned that our former DR Jose was in NY and we were able to meet for a quick meal after the show tonight.

Jose walked me back to my cart park and snapped a quick picture which is now posted on FB.  I can't figure out how to move it here but I suspect George has the tech skills for the job.
