Wow, you guys are serious Broadway fans, aren't you? Well, Cheyenne certainly is easy to look at! :) And the video is hysterical.
On one of your visits, we should get together, at least for drinks and/or dinner!
Wow, you've got a great lineup! I loved A Catered Affair, August: Osage County, South Pacific, Gypsy, The 39 Steps and Passing Strange. The 39 Steps really is a fun show. If you haven't seen it, I recommend watching the Alfred Hitchcock movie beforehand.
I would skip Adding Machine -- I saw it tonight and regret losing 90 minutes of my life. I'm in town seeing like you 9 shows in 7 days. p.s. A Catered Affair was wonderful. Have a great trip.
