Red starring Jim Mezon as Mark Rothko.
This was absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately today was final day of the Toronto run but if it comes to your city, I highly recommend it.

Glad you enjoyed.
Alfred Molina absolutely defined the role of Rothko.

I bought tickets for War Horse at Lincoln Center in February.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest with a good friend playing Nurse Ratched. She and the rest of the cast were excellent.
I very seldom attend live theater events. I did, however greatly enjoy Million Dollar Quartet.

Is He Dead?
saw radiance this past weekend. excellent!
Saw a production of Woody Allen's God: A Play on Saturday night.
I didn't really know what to expect but this play was a gas. It was Woody Allen at his zany, unrestrained best. There were cast members pre-planted in the audience, popping out of their chairs to join the play on stage on cue and guest appearances by Blanche Dubois, Stanley Kowalski and Mr. Allen himself (or a reasonable facsimile thereof). Good fun!

Seeing Red at the Arena Stage next month. Edward Gero is a stupendous stage actor and I'm really looking forward to this one.

Production of Red in Key West is wrapping up soon.
We actually saw a staging of Forbidden Broadway when my dad was in town. Fun show

Took the Mrs to see Hugh Jackman on Broadway last month, going to see Death of a Salesman in a couple weeks with Philip Seymour Hoffman
Does Disney On Ice's 100 Years of Magic count??
Toxic Avenger musical at the Alley Theatre. Funny, very campy play.
Nothing lately, sadly, but I note that The Woman in Black premieres as a film this weekend. Saw it years ago in London and it over-delivered. Never thought live theatre could give me the heebie-jeebies like that. I've since recommended it to several friends travelling to London and all have enjoyed it. I'll be surprised if the film is half as good, but who knows?
Jersey Boys last week. Very well done, I thought. My other half scoring the tickets for free was an added bonus.
I didn't want to go to Jersey Boys on Broadway in NYC, figuring it would just be 4 guys imitating the Four Seasons. I was very wrong. They were much better than the Four Seasons who I've seen in person 4 times back in my college days.
sideways, it was awesome!
funny, it was a single producer that i had never heard of and didn't write down. it was actually good too! but the pourer kept telling me that it was "high end"...and he told me they only made pinot, nothing else, despite the pamphlet in front of him explaining the winery and all of the different wines they made...i may have that pamphlet somewhere, i'll post when/if i find the name...
and i think they use a different winery every weekend...regardless, the show was awesome and had quite a few different scenarios that weren't in the movie.

Does the "La Reve" show at the Wynn in Las Vegas count? Although the storyline was lame, I thought the lighting and acrobatics were quite good. Overall, recomended.
found it, it was bouchaine...
I got dragged to Xanadu at Chanhassen theatre.
Saw Rent during a recent trip to NYC.
also recently saw “New Jerusalem, The Interrogation of Baruch De Spinoza at Talmud Torah Congregation: Amsterdam, July 27, 1656.” too. loved it!
Last musical I saw was "Book of Mormans." Wife loved it.
Nice Work If You Can Get It, saw this last Friday. Well done show

How do you get tickets without paying through the nose?
Le Miserables at the OCPAC

wow, what bottle of wine did they have to bribe you with for that?
would have been better off running out the back door and hitting the School II http://www.schoolofthewise.net/school-ii
Amen Corner was ok but the plot was forseeable halfway through the 1st act. I would have liked a little more music in it to keep the entertainment factor up.
God of Carnage was the best of the last season at the Guthrie (before the movie came out). Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was excellent also, though I'm always a sucker for their Tennessee Williams offerings.
I'm looking forward to their World Premieres of Nice Fish and The Primrose Path next season. They've done well over the past few years getting some World Permieres or 2nd Openings for some great shows.
john waters tonight. i have an extra ticket even. pm me if interested...
Harvey at Studio54 with Jim Parsons and an unseen 6'3.5" pooka in the form of a white rabbit. Very enjoyable and well done.

the exorcist tonight! 
i knew richard chamberlain was father merrin but it was a delightful surprise to see brooke shields as chris macneil. it was really good but at 95(ish) minutes, it could have used 1 more scene to help transition the rather abrupt ending. still, i'd give it an A-!

Peter and the Starcatcher. Great fun. Excellent staging.
Into the Woods at the Delacorte in Central Park.
the book of mormon next saturday!
Richard III, @ Globe theatre, London
Went to the Book of Mormon this past weekend in LA. Really enjoyed the show and laughed pretty much throughout the play. I have some Mormon friends which made it even funnier. Casting was really well done. Highly recommend this, but there is some pretty foal language so if that is hard for you to handle than this show is not for you. There was an older couple next to us that left 30 mins in that I assume didn’t do their homework to know what the play was like.

Glenn- A co-worker informed me this morning that he and several friends flew to L.A. over the weekend to see the show. Suffice to say that they laughed hysterically throughout.
