New York Theatre

We are off to New York City for a week. For the last couple years we have had a marathon orgy of Broadway and Off-Broadway shows. The trend still continues. In fact we are going to be able indulge even more this year because of the shifting of performance schedules because of Wednesday’s July 4th holiday. We have tickets to 13 shows in 8 days!

Sat., June 30th: "Year of Magical Thinking" (with Vanessa Redgrave)

Sun. July 1st: "10 Million Miles" 2 p.m. matinee (Atlantic Theater world premiere);
"In the Heights" 7 p.m. (Off-Broadway hit, to move to Broadway in the autumn).

Monday the 2nd: "Frost/Nixon" 8 p.m.

Tuesday the 3rd: "Rent" 8 p.m. (Because I has never seen the play on stage...and because FOUR plays we had tickets to have announced in past 2 weeks they are closing before we get there and have forced us to make other choices!!)

Wed. the 4th: "Deuce" 2 p.m. (with Angela Lansbury);
"Sessions" 8 p.m. (new off-off B'way musical).

Thurs. the 5th: "Inherit the Wind" 2 p.m.
"Mary Poppins", 8 p.m.

Friday the 6th: "Curtains" 2 p.m. matinee;
"Grey Gardens" 8 p.m.

Sat. the 7th: "110 in the Shade" 2 p.m. matinee;
"Xanadu" 8 p.m. (OK...It's a BIG risk...May be a bust, but hearing good things on blogs...Was a substitute for the closed "Company" that we REALLY wanted to see).

Sun. the 8th: flight home.
