Another Awesome Doubleheader For Billi Pod

On what is to be an awesome doubleheader Wednesday in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World, it is rainy, nasty, cold and only 39º @ 8:30am. Barf!!


Unfortunately, an otherwise stellar NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC concert last night was tainted by a 22 minute long (it seemed like an eternity) atonal piece of dreck by someone named Legeti. When it was over there was tepid, at best, applause. I think everyone seated in my area, all subscribers, hated it. Oh well ... sometimes you lose, right? The other two numbers were excellent.


Today is going to be an awesome doubleheader for Billi Pod, despite the looming nasty weather --


2:00==>THEODORE & CO - “The American premiere of the 1916 British musical about Lord Theodore, who is broke, but for a fee he offers “personal services” to his social set. We see the high and low of London society.” (Off-Broadway - complimentary ticket).


And then ...


8:00==>PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT - “Tick, Bernadette & Adam take their show to the Australian outback aboard a bus nicknamed Priscilla. In their search for love and friendship they end up finding more than they ever could have dreamed.” (Broadway - discounted ticket)


The advanced buzz on this show has been terrific and everyone I have talked with who has seen it absolutely L O V E D it. Needless-to-say Billi Pod is looking forward to the adventure.


BREAKING NEWS==>yesterday Billi Pod was able to score an awesome orchestra seat (discounted) for a preview performance of the highly anticipated Broadway musical CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, based on the movie by the same name. I will see it on Tuesday, March 29th and will be joined by Scott Reed, whose friend John McDaniel is the show’s Musical Director. Can’t wait.


GO GATORS AND GO YANKEES!!
