So, DR ChasSmith, how about that Fantasticks last night? (I hear you ask)
Worst ever. At least, of those I've seen live. A total fail. A few of the actors had potential to be pretty good in their roles. But there was no direction. And the music direction (notably, the piano playing by the music director) was completely inept. Shockingly so. It might even take the prize for being the worst realization of the score ever.
But as I said I would, I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Sadly, this was foreshadowed at the diner beforehand. The cheeseburger deluxe was way overcooked, and they don't know from cole slaw -- I could only get through two bites of the glop, and it was a huge serving. However, the bacon on the burger, the fries, and the coffee were all great.
So, a mixed evening. But it was still great to be out and about.
