Thursday==>We need to get this blog posting underway since your favorite blogger here in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World, has an entertainment doubleheader for today, something rather usual for a Thursday ... so ... let’s begin with ...
Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s entertainment event, the Broadway show ...
THE SNOW GEESE about a family learning about and then attempting to deal with their recently deceased father’s lies==>C+
Really wanted to like this show but it was a disappointment on many levels, beginning with a less than stellar performance from Tony and Emmy winner Mary-Louise Parker in the role of the widowed mother. Frankly, she was incomprehensible and unbelievable. At times I couldn’t hear and/or understand what she was saying and I was in the 7th row in the orchestra, with my hearing aid thingys in.
There was way too much yelling and screaming and, frankly, the story line isn’t believable. Now I understand why it received mostly negative reviews.
On a plus side==>there are stellar performances from Victoria Clark, as the sister, and Evan Jonigkeit and Brian Cross as the battling brothers. And, the sets are excellent.
Billi Pod says==>you are warned.
It is playing at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre on West 47th Street, has a running time of 2:10, with intermission, and runs through December 15th.
Now ... about today’s doubleheader ... first is a holiday chestnut ...
2:00==>THE RADIO CITY CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR - “A celebration for family, friends, and loved ones to be shared with Santa, the Nutcracker, the wondrous Rockettes, and the unforgettable Living Nativity.” (event - complimentary ticket)
Yeah ... I know, I know ... we haven’t had Thanksgiving yet ... but ... it showed up on one of my services and it has been a long time since I last saw this event ... so ... I thought I would give it a shot.
It is playing at, obviously, Radio City Music Hall on 6th Avenue, has a running time of 1:30, without intermission, and runs through December 30th.
Then ... for the evening is an Off Broadway show ...
7:30==>TOWARDS THE MOON - “A musical tale of angst filled creativity and lost and found friendships that follows Bobby, who wants to leave the small town of Greenock, Scotland, and become a great writer.” (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket)
This show is playing in Theatre C at the 59E59 Theatre Complex (one of my favorite venues), has a running time of 1:30, without intermission and runs through December 1.
So ... there you have it my loyal and faithful readers and followers, Billi Pod's Thursday entertainment doubleheader.
In closing ... folks ... could the A-Rod “drama” be more unbelievable? When he stormed out of the arbitration hearing yesterday and then blasted MLB on TV he basically kissed his major league career goodbye.
To which Billi Pod says==>good riddance to bad rubbish.
Now gotta post this and get ready for my doubleheader.
Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>3.67 miles (or, 8,027 steps)
Total mileage since 7/1/13==>488.52 miles (average 3.42 miles per day)
GO GATORS==>FIRE COACH MUSKRAT!!!!!
