No posts for a while, I had a live visitor to talk to! And boy, did we ever. We also saw Sunday in the Park With George, nowhere near as memorable as last year's Company, but similar in that Patty had a terrible cough both times. I think the technical solutions to George, making the painting happen, and the light show Young George does, are more exciting than the play itself.

Saturday, I saw The Devil's Disciple, a cute, yes, cute, GB Shaw play, which takes place during the American Revolution. Sunday night, I saw a semi-staged reading of Applause! with Christine Ebersole, who frankly looks like she's had work done between Grey Gardens and now. The show is a musical based on "All About Eve" and well, dumb. The songs were all expendable, dramatically. There's one Margo and her boyfriend sing before he goes off to Italy, "Think How It's Gonna Be" that only says that, think. How is it going to be when he gets back? Good? Will you kill each other? And we're asked to believe that Eve Harrington, mastermind, decided that the surest path to her own glory was to befriend a playwright's wife, on the off chance she'd get to meet Margo, and on the off chance that Margo would need an assistant, and on the off chance she could then screw the right men to get her big break? It's possible I just don't like Comden and Green. I thought Wonderful Town was Snoozeville.

If you know who Heidi Montag is and you haven't checked out her apocalyptically bad music video, do so immediately.
