Billi Pod Reviews House of Blue Leaves.

OK my loyal and faithful readers, let’s start off with Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES==>B. Edie Falco A; Ben Stiller B; and, Jennifer Jason Leigh D.

The story line==>WTF?<== because it shifts moods and styles so often. One minute it's farce, another a situation comedy, still another a satirical take on America's love of celebrity, and then another, a domestic tragedy.

Yes, the laughs are there, but ultimately I think most people will be a little taken off guard when farce gives way to extreme tragedy. But, I guess, this is exactly what the playwright John Guare wants.

Worth seeing? Yeah.

Oh, and I have to add about my TDF seat in the mezzanine @ Walter Kerr Theatre==>F-. Cramped, tight and very unpleasant. The theater owners should be required to sit in one of these seats for, say, 4 hours, at least once a week. Bet that would bring about some changes ASAP.

Oh, and thanks for the stream of emails and texts about my basketball prediction for last night. Billi Pod was wrong, OK? Now chill ...

My dear friends Dwight and Joanne Wells are in town for several days and I am really looking forward to being with them.

Tonight’s entertainment event is ...

7:05==>YANKEES vs. MINNESOTA TWINS. Ace CC Sabathia will be on the mound. Cold and windy weather is predicted. Will have my gloves this time.

Interesting early season stat/fact -- at last night’s game against the Twins, which the Yankees won 4-3, the attendance was 40,331, the smallest crowd ever in the new Yankee Stadium. The “official” capacity is 50,291. Empty seats were in every section of the stadium.

Which leads Billi Pod to ask the question: “When will the Yankee brass admit they made a serious error in pricing the seats in the new stadium?” Face it guys, you screwed up. Now admit it and bring down the prices and fill those seats, giving credits to existing seat holders for next season.

Hey Transport Boi==>don’t forget that you and your guys are to pick me up at 5:30pm for the trip to The Bronx. The game should be over around 10:00pm. Oh, please remember to pack the earmuffs this time because on Sunday the sirens to and from the game got mighty annoying. Don’t be late!!!

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
