Barb and I decided to wing it and chance seeing a play today. Joan allowed as to how she had the day off and agreed to meet us at the Ticketrex in Times Square. I'd stated I was only interested in something that was going to entertain and lift spirits. The gals nodded their approval and we set out to obtain entry to either a Comedy or a Musical.
Lucky us! We snagged 7th row tickets for "Blithe Spirit" currently starring Broadway legends, Angela Lansbury, Rupert Everett, and the wonderful Christine Ebersol! (I was beside myself!) The Schubert Theater, like most Brodaway houses has no bad seats, but once again, we got wonderful!
Written by Noel Coward, the script was witty and filled with quips, double entandre and innuendo. Once placed in the hands of theater royalty such as these, it was molded into a thing of classic beauty! Slapstick beauty, that is. Angela Lansbury is regal and absolutely timeless. She moved around the stage completely belying her years, and every syllable she uttered was shear delight! Combine her eloquence with the impeccable comedic timing of Everett and Ebersol and you have struck gold.
I was so grateful for their talent and the laughter they gave us, I wanted to hug them all!
If you live near the City, hurry and get your tickets for this timely shot in the arm. You'll have your first laugh within seconds of Curtain with no let-up until standing ovation and final bows.
What a perfect way to spend the day!
All for now,
Cm
