BREAKING NEWS==>attention my loyal and faithful readers!! Read on and you will be the first out there in the vast hinterlands to learn that there is now a new verb in the English language.
What is it you are no doubt breathlessly asking? Well, get ready to hit the “Save” button ... it is ...
“SHEENING” - meaning partying, questionable decision making and public humiliation. It can also mean wasted.
While Billi Pod would like to take credit for this revelation, in the name of fair and unbiased reporting, he cannot ... the source is none other than page 1 of The Style Section of this Sunday’s print edition of the New York Times.
You are so very welcome.
Now on to other things ... like my report card on Saturday’s entertainment doubleheader==>A<==both events were excellent.
4@15: FOUR NEW FIFTEEN-MINUTE MUSICALS @ The York Theatre featured 32 very talented students from the NYU Program in Vocal Performance/Music Theatre. They performed, tada, 4 15 minute musicals. The house was full and very enthusiastic
Seated to my right was a very nice lady from Long Island whose 20yo son was performing. She had brought with her 5 of their neighbors. She was so excited and it sorta rubbed off on those of us around her. I have to say that her son was really good looking and has an excellent voice.
It made an enjoyable afternoon even better.
TRIXIE & MONKEY: ALL OR NOTHING @ Ars Nova was bizarrely entertaining @ only 1 hour. In the 1 hour they touched on love, betrayal, homelessness, revenge, murder, dumpster-diving, and redemption, but ... it was all in fun. I left the sold-out theater with a smile on my face.
Billi Pod has another doubleheader today ...
3:00==>BRIDGE BOY - "What happens when trusting your gut doesn't turn out the way you intended?" Trevor is at a turning point in his life: WHEN did his fiancée stop wearing his ring? WHERE did his father disappear to? WHAT is going to happen to the bar his family owns? HOW can he still trust his family? ... and WHY is the mysterious woman he meets under the bridge so eerily accurate about the events of his life? (Off-Broadway - complimentary ticket)
Then ...
8:00==>THE WORD: A House Party For Jesus - “A tent. A preacher. A sermon extolling the glories of voyeurism and the perils of playing with gasoline. The Word is the Truth, with sex, drugs, and chili.” (Off-Broadway - $9.00 TDF ticket).
This is a one-man piece written and performed by Brian Osborne. Just the way to end a Sunday in The Big Apple. Amen brother, Amen!!
Oh, before I close ... I previously posted about scoring discounted tickets for 3 upcoming highly anticipated shows ... well, I now have added a 4th - BENGAL TIGER AT THE BAGHDAD ZOO, starring Robin Williams in his Broadway debut. It is not a musical.
Have a great Sunday!!
GO GATORS AND GO YANKEES!!
