Billi Pod’s awesome entertainment doubleheader yesterday was yet another example of why he lives in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World - a Thursday with two diverse but immensely enjoyable theatrical events ...
First, Chicago==>A<==it still packs a punch and it has, for the most part, a stellar cast led by the two actresses playing Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly.
The only weak link in the cast was the overweight guy who plays Amos, Roxie’s husband. His characterization just didn’t work for me. Maybe it was because I still have Joel Grey implanted in my theater memory.
Billi Pod is also happy to report that his comp. seat was excellent, rear orchestra, center. Nice!
Chicago originally opened on June 3, 1975 and ran for a total of 936 performances, closing on August 27, 1977. It received very mixed reviews back then.
The revival opened on November 14, 1996 and was met with praise from audiences and critics alike. It is now the longest running revival in Broadway history and, as I posted yesterday, it is ranked as Broadway’s 5th longest running show.
It is certainly worth seeing again.
The entertainment event for the evening was SOUVENIR STORIES==>8 interesting and well-performed short musicals.
As with any collection of short plays, some were better than others but none were bad, thankfully. The eight person cast was young and very talented.
Bottom line==>A very enjoyable evening.
Tonight’s entertainment event is ...
7:05==>YANKEES/ORIOLES @ Yankee Stadium, The House That Greed and Ego Built and, of course, AJ Burnett aka Loser Boi will be pitching.
Why, Oh Gods on High, does Loser Boi always seem to pitch when Billi Pod is in attendance??? WHY??
If The Bronx Bombers are to reach the post season Loser Boi has to step forward and become a consistently reliable pitcher.
Stop being a little bitch AJ and just man the fuck up.
Jus sayin’...
This weekend is also going to be awesome. Billi Pod has doubleheaders scheduled for both Saturday and Sunday. Details later.
I will close with a big TGIF shout-out to all of my Worker Bee friends out there in the vastness of cyberspace. Have a great weekend!!
GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
