Manifesting Marilyn

The Genesis House has an impressive & immersive exhibit till September 6. You start your Marilyn journey in the basement with many front page headline stories. There are curators to guide you along & very knowledgeable to answer your questions. There is an old dial telephone to listen to her last interview. Now up to the second floor to view her personal items. Her telephone book had Frank Sinatra‘s phone number 😂. There is a beautiful film of her life. This was a fascinating , fun, eye-opening exhibition

As you exit the exhibit you pass the bar that will serve you Marilyn’s favorite drink–Piper Heidsik champagne 🍾 A wonderful way to end your time with Marilyn.

Yes this the Genesis dealership so you could purchase a car, too.

The staff are friendly. Offered free cold iced tea. I enjoyed this exhibition very much. We had a blast

Did I mention it’s FREE!!!!

MUSIC CITY

For a rockin fun time with a great story, excellent knee slapping music then step into THE WICKED TICKLE. This here place is East Nashville, TN. The story begins as a talented duo go there for Open Mike hoping to get noticed by a record company. Now if you are into performing fill out form during purchase of tickets. I did. I was asked to dance on stage. What fun I had. There is table & stadium seating. Band on stage 🎻🎸🥁🎤🎹. The venue is one of my favorite Off-Broadway places, St. Luke’s Theater. I love 💕 Off Broadway shows. If you’ve never been to one make this your first. The cast was terrific. I did my song 🎵 ROLL ON THE CONDOM accompanied by the musical director, Wyn

GOLDEN AGE MUSICALS

Schmigadoon is mix of past musicals adapted from canceled Television show . The story is pure fantasy & quite good! The scenic design, costumes & choreography keep you upbeat with hilarity. Songs are memorable like “Genitalia ” ! What I truly enjoyed was at any minute the ensemble would brake out into an old time musical song. Oklahoma! Sound of Music! The Music ManWhen they sang Dispicable He the audience erupted in cheers & laughter 😂😂

Ana Gasteyer as Mildred Layton was terrific in her role. The townspeople add fun. There is a grand tap number. This show has it all. Get trapped in Schmigadoon for an afternoon or evening. Get tickets 🎟️ now!

Living in a Community

Ever wonder what it would be like to live in a community whereby a Board of Directors run the show. Meet the BALUSTERS– the vertical supports that support a railing just as the members support the Director. The scene that depicts the Balusters is very hilarious. This interracial, nationality & racists issues make up the board. Their rebellious & racism are so Wild & hilarious. The show weaves racism with hilarity. It takes you aback to when humor of all kinds brought laughter & knee-slapping! This is a must see to sit back & laugh. The gossip, rebelliousness, safety & historical recognition bring a FUN-tastic show. Be free! Laugh out loud 😂😂😂😂😂

The cast is excellent & really are in sync. Book 📕 is excellent & directing so seamlessly between scenes flows beautifully.

Got tix from Today Tix. Post-theater went to Beer Culture, a dive bar to discuss & continue to laugh about the outrageous hilarity that can offend one & all if no sense of humor. We loved it & really enjoyed rehashing it, laughing hysterically again

Step Back into Summer 1972

Remember when Viet Nam was in the headlines, Watergate too. The nation was in a flux. This scorching hot afternoon brought 2 bumbling robbers to a Chase bank in Gravesend , Brooklyn; they had dreams of walking off with money to enhance their sad existence. It is a story of desperation, identity & control. The story lives in the audience when Sonny gets the audience pumping their fists screaming “Attica” , multiple times. We know the story but now we are part of the story. The show is engaging & thrilling. You become someone. It is emotional & yet humorous. You understand the hostages. I was a tad surprised by the humor of this show. The humor is so necessary to recreate what happened on this awesome show & excellent show.

Whether you have seen movie or not grab your Antifist & cheers with Sonny. Once the FBI took over all hell Brooke loose. NYPD Detective Fucco was hilarious yet passionate. Go see this show & understand the underdog 💕

Last Day July 12

Like the Titanic this magnificent & fun musical is not built to survive. It has a limited run. The show is a parody & comedy on the Titanic with Celine Dion music. What a blast💥. The story is terrific with tons of hilarity. Staging is elegant & clever. The Iceberg was dazzling & so entertaining 🏆👏👏👏👏

There is no intermission! Although, Marla Mindelle aka Celine Dion, explains an intermission 😂😂😂

Jim Parsons nails his role &!keeps you laughing your ass off.

Costumes were delicious 💋💋Cast was slap-stick amazing

We sat in last row $60. From Today Tix. Got ourselves 2 cushions to elevate us & when the music began so did the laughter 😂

Had dinner at Local 42. 9th Avenue between 42nd & 41st.

An Epic & Energetic Musical

Get ready for an amazing adventure into Vampires. The musical is based on the 1987 film where a family of a Mom, Shoshana Bean, & her 2 sons move to Santa Clara. The town has an unusual number of missing persons

The cast is extremely talented especially LJ Benet, making his Broadway Debut. The story is very interesting & cleverly done. The staging is mesmerizing. The music & acoustics will blow your mind. The aerial choreography is Jaw-dropping. It is a dark musical but does have humor

While the movie was rated R the musical is not. There is a band on stage. The songs are memorable especially “The Secret Comes Out”. The 2nd act is a tad long & could be trimmed. The last act after the final applause is so kool!!! So don’t rush out. I highly recommend it. Even if you didn’t see the movie or were part of the Vampire cult you will definitely enjoy it & catch the vibe. The audience was enthusiastic & really into it.

The show is in the Palace theatre which holds 1,648—a sellout the day I was there. Dress warm–AC on high. The seats are comfortable with leg room.

Many eateries on block. I always go to Long Acre $$. Great food, personable staff. 2 doors east of theatre.

Kiefer Sutherland was David in the movie & now a Co-Producer

Fear of 13

This is a true story of Nick Yaris’s death sentence in a Pennsylvania prison for a crime he didn’t commit.

The title refers to his 13th year of Yaris’ s imprisonment and the fear of his death sentence.

Adrien Brody gives a phenomenal & stirring performance. Unfortunately he lacks chemistry with Tessa Thompson, who also performs role well.

While the show is riveting it is too long & needs to be shortened. At times it is slow & repetitive. I would like to have seen a deeper dive into the Innocence Project.

The entire cast was excellent. Staging was kool , especially the rain scene

I do recommend the show because it is very interesting

Had a terrific brunch at Long Acre on W47St. There is a work alley in middle of block . Short walk to theater on 48th St
