A Saturday Doubleheader

OMG!! It was 50º @ 8:30am this morning. We actually have warmish weather in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World.


I want to start with Billi Pod’s report card on WHITE PEOPLE==>B-<==Outstanding acting saved this from being just another cliché-ridden dysfunctional family soap opera-ish knockoff.


The small Off-Broadway theater was sold-out and you need to be warned that: (1) the elevator isn’t working but the venue it is only one steep flight up, and (2) the theater itself is so far West that it is almost in New Jersey.


Is it worth seeing? Yeah, I guess so, for the acting alone.


Today Billi Pod has another one of his entertainment doubleheaders --


3:00==>4@15: FOUR NEW FIFTEEN-MINUTE MUSICALS @ The York Theatre - “Let’s Face It;” “Maybe One Day-A Musical Fable;” “Lotta’s Fountain;” and, “Time To Kill.” (Off-Broadway - discounted ticket).


I like what the York Theatre does, especially in its developmental series, which this is one, so I am looking forward to an interesting afternoon.


Tonight is:


8:00==>TRIXIE & MONKEY: ALL OR NOTHING - "Acrobatic burlesque superduo Trixie Little & The Evil Hate Monkey are taking their act to the limit--will they end up superstars or dumpster divers? Either way, this high-flying, glitter-fueled, tassel-twirling duo is leaving it all on stage in their frenzied scramble to the top." (Off-Broadway - $9.00 TDF ticket);


Playing at the cutting-edge Ars Nova and it should be fun.


So, I hope that you loyal and faithful readers will have a great and productive weekend out there in the vast hinterlands. Be well.


GO GATORS AND GO YANKEES!!
