Hi HHWers:
I try to read BK's blog with some regularity, but post rarely. Such is life with kids in school.
Having been to Bruce's show tonight, however, I wanted to compliment him on a marvelous musical review. L.A. Now and Then will resonate deeply with those of us who grew up or are still growing up here .... and that includes not only my daughter, but dear BK (who is still growing up?!).
Whether you knew L.A. then, experience it now, only in passing or never at all, who could not be taken by its soul, heart, charm, sadness and humor? I teared up, I laughed loud. (spoiler: a ballet wrestler). Robert Yacko, who I've seen perform at Kritzerland, is not only a marvelous singer but poignant actor. The entire cast was gave it their all, singing and shimmying their way through the eras.
It's Bruce's love letter to not only his Los Angeles, but all of the things we remember and miss from childhood, wherever we grew up.
I'm looking forward to the cast album and hope the show will have other runs beyond this one.
