But my family came into town this weekend and I was rather tied up, what with all the theater and eating out...(yes, yes...my wallet is too small for my fifties and my diamond shoes are too tight). I saw four pretty fantastic shows on Broadway: The Drowsy Chaperone, The History Boys, Bridge and Tunnel, and The Color Purple. I recommend them all (with the exception of Bridge and Tunnel, which unfortunately closes today-but don't fret! From what I understand, it sort of comes and goes...it's a one-woman show (Sarah Jones), and she has travelled all around the world with this show, so next time you're in Madagascar...). The Drowsy Chaperone is great if you like two hours of pure silliness with no intermission. I giggled all the way through. The History Boys was a sharp "dramedy"...drama/comedy, and The Color Purple was just a beautiful and spiritual experience all around.
Last night we (my aunt, uncle, two amazing family friends, and my boyfriend) ate at this beautiful restaurant near Hell's Kitchen called Chez Josephine, started by Jean-Claude Baker, the son of late Paris showgirl Josephine Baker. There was a fabulous piano player/singer playing all my favorites-Billy Joel, Elton John, etc...I had the spaghetti. Yummmy!
Anyway, I'm pretty wiped out! Had a fabulous weekend and am taking it easy for the rest of the day...watching movies on AMC (Arthur, Nine to Five, Big) while Mike is at the beach. I would be there too, but I didn't pack my bathing suit when I went into Manhattan, and he left straight from brunch. What a bum!!!
Hope y'all had a great weekend!
