Jaws 🐋🐋🐋

Sitting on the Orca off Martha’s Vineyard, they wait while Bruce-the mechanical shark is repaired . Bruce was given the moniker by the Jaws film crew.

Richard Dreyfus, Roy Scheider & Robert Shaw while away their boredom in the middle of the ocean. Heavy drinking, their lives & what possessed them to do this movie. It is listed as a comedy & there are laughs but really it is a mish-mash.

The staging is true to life & Spectacular. Alex Brightman is Richard Dreyfus & so real you thought it was RD. His role is worth the ticket. Here is acting at it’s greatest. Tony worthy.

I was disappointed that only a fin of the shark was seen.

Sat in upper mezzanine. No need for orchestra seats. They ran out of magnets- have never experienced this ever. That is not a good sign!!!!

Had lunch at Smith’s Bar & Grill, 8th & 44th. My favorite spot for good food & drinks. Moderately priced, friendly servers. Sean, manager, will get you to the show on time. Stop in & tell him : his girlfriend sent you

I Love Ike ♥️

This Off Broadway Show has been extended a week; that is how excellent it is. First pic is me with the Director, Peter Ellenstein ; with hat is Joe Fedor an actor. The second picture includes John Rubenstein-Star of show. Woman in blue is Teri Ralston who was in the first Broadway show of Company as Jenny, April 11, 1993;currently she teaches at American Musical and Dramatic Academy plus she is also a Director. This is why I love going to Off Broadway shows because you get to meet so many interesting people. 🎭🎭🎭

Picture this August 1962, the EisenhowerFarm, Gettysburg, PA & Ike is recording his memoirs for a book. Let me give you the name of this spectacular show:Eisenhower: This Piece of Ground!

John Rubinstein doesn’t impersonate Ike but embodies his spirit. Eisenhower looks back on his life noting his accomplishments & misses. Chats about his boyhood years, how he made it to West Point. I felt like I was in his living room. John is affable like Ike as he discusses the War & his presidency. John is captivating & gives a memorable performance. Staging, scenery & lighting give the perfect ambiance

The biography of DDE is fascinating & enjoyable. I urge you to run & get tickets for this riveting show. Let me know what you thought of the show afterwards.

The last time I was at Theatre at St. Clements seeing Green Card, 2016, there was a makeshift bar beneath the stairway. It consisted of a large barrel of ice with beer & wine. Alas that is gone. I shared this tidbit with the Director & pointed out the Stairwell Bar🍺🍷& water.

The venue is unique, an “Episcopal Church celebrating the ministry of women, of gay & lesbian people from all walks of life especially theatre community. The 3rd oldest operating Off Broadway Theatre.”

Irish ☘️ Repertory Theatre

The Saviour takes place in a small house on the outskirts of Carlow town in 2020. A riveting & provocative show that will have you gasping & snickering. A widow meets Martin at the church and develops a comfortable relationship with him staying the evening frequently. Mel, her son, visits on her birthday to discuss Martin & his past. Maire becomes upset & now all the past horrors come to light. Amidst the madness there is hilarity.

Many emotions are felt during her monologue & Mel‘s visit. The abuses during his childhood, her fanatical Catholicism & mental episodes. As you gasp in shock, you become giddy also. Only an Irish playwright can add laughter to tame tough subjects as homosexuality & pedophilia. The 70 minute show is captivating & endearing . The cast is brilliant & engaging .

I recommend the show because it deals well with hard topics plus there is hilarity

The Irish Rep suggested the Copper Still for a brewski. This bar was friendly with cheap appetizers & cold 🍻 beers. When I told the bartender that the Irish Rep told us to come here—-he said we would get a 10% discount

British Farce

This show is only here for 16 weeks & sellout . Rush out and get tickets. Mezzanine tix great , I was laughing & giggling throughout ; a knee-slapping laugh.The show is 2hrs40minutees and it flew by with an astonishing seamless second act without losing continuity. The audience was wild with joy & hilarity.

Picture an English Cottage in 1923 which is used by family for trysts by 2 brothers. A telegram is sent to her husband after sexy nite with brother-in-law; then the hilarious mayhem begins. A delightful story that is sexy, clever & hilarious

We had a lunch at Junior’s. I had a refreshing glass of wine & Junior’s special Strawberry shortcake with strawberry syrup. This cake was at least 6inches high. It was the best ever. I always order Junior’s desserts cause that’s what they are famous for🍓

Tiger Tiger Burning Bright

A boy and his tiger 🐅 on a boat for 265 days surviving at sea with limited survival skills . With spectacular design , lightning & staging it was easy to enter the story. The life size puppets/puppeteers led the story with excitement and took you along on the journey.

Pi and his family were traveling on a cargo ship with their zoo animals to Canada when disaster struck. A fierce storm begins to blow causing death of crew & passengers. Pi swims to a lifeboat that contains the zoo animals. Struggles ensue for survival. Great companionships evolve with dominance. Graphic scenes of survival tactics make you gasp!!!!

This show is imaginative & riveting. The cast is perfection. The show ends July 23rd. It is best to sit In Mezzanine or orchestra– mid & toward back. The staging is big so with close up you miss some scenes.

Rush & get tickets for one of the best shows I have seen in a very long time-show moves quickly although 2hours & 40 minutes

A Must See Show

This is a quirky, edgy & hilarious show. A feel good show with a talented cast with Katey Segal in a fabulous role with a surprise in store for y’all! The audience was enthusiastic & happy. No intermission!Great dancers plus great lyrics. When the show was over I was smiling & feeling happy.

Heather is maybe the new Messiah in High School. The story is clever & uplifting. A great comedic pop musical. Met the director/choreographer, Rachel Klein plus (pic). Jim Kierstead, producer. This is the fun of going to Off Broadway shows whereby you get to meet the folks who make the show; it’s so exciting when this happens.

Every seat in this intimate theater is great. Treat yourself to a feel goood show that will make you happy 😊

We Are Waiting For You

This is a unique show for Broadway at the Lyceum theater. If you enjoy psychological thrillers with a frightening stage, and an amazing cast with some gore this is for you!

There are many hilarious scenes plus acts that will have you gasping aloud.This is a fun freak-out show that will have you on the edge of your seat . The atrocities of your past life will be brought forth as well as your punishments. This is a musical 🎵. Enjoy all the sensations!!!

I loved & was truly frightened!!!Laughing through these moments after I calmed myself. For a fun time , a must see!

Hilarity

This show is a must see for fun time. 5 Tony award nominations . Picture this a South Carolina barbecue with a funny dysfunctional family & friends. They are celebrating a marriage, mourning a hubby, trying to stay in the closet or bust out. While their are many poignant moments, it still is hilarious. Don’t be fooled by it being a Pulitzer Prize 🏆 winner; Fat Ham is comedic & saucy. C’mon on over & have a party

The cup is by far one of the best. The cast is grand , staging is super. I can say “I had one helleva fun time. 90 minutes of non-stop hilarity even though deals with sensitive topics. The finale is a blast 💥 that gets you up on your feet. Tickets 🎫 inexpensive. Hurry ends June 25th
