Forget the Feburary doldrums. It’s a busy month for us here at the Tin Man.
Tonight I’m seeing Twelve Angry Men. My mom’s friend from high school is in it, so that’ll be a treat.
Tomorrow night, Matt and I are seeing a preview of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. The movie is one of the funniest I’ve ever seen, and I’m a little nervous about how the musical will turn out.
Next Thursday we’re seeing La Cage Aux Folles.
Next Friday we’re seeing Megan Mullally perform as part of the American Songbook series at the Allen Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center, overlooking Central Park. I can’t wait to see her.
Then next Saturday night, February 12, our chorus is performing at Town Hall (not to be confused with City Hall) as part of the Gay Valentine Music Celebration, a benefit for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
And the following week we’re seeing a preview of Spamalot, which has the craziest website ever.
And that merely takes us just past the halfway point of February.
Sigh… I love New York.
(If you’re wondering how we can afford all this stuff: Matt’s a member of TDF, so we get most of our tickets for about $30 each.)
So, who’s your mom’s friend?
Peter Friedman.
What!? No plans to come to the big WYSIWYG Talent Show on the 15th? I’ve very disappointed. Tsk, tsk…
Unfortunately, we’ve got chorus rehearsal that night. Otherwise, you know I’d totally be there. (Of course, when I perform again at WYSIWYG I’ll skip rehearsal…)
*sniff* I miss New York. There’s no good theater in LA.
I did see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels in its pre-Broadway run in San Diego, however, and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. :)
THIS Peter Friedman ?
Nope. This one.
I loved him as “lead mop”
I’m still wondering how you can afford all those tickets! (my entertainment budget is empty at the moment)
Oh he was teriffic in Safe (by the lovely and talented Todd Haynes)
Yeah, at times I miss NYC too. One day, I’ll win the Powerball.
