Previewed the Tony Award-winning play Oslo. Political/historical references to the Palestinian-Israeli crisis frequently went over my head. But great dialogue & frequent scene changes engaged my attention throughout this 3 hr (2 intermission) show.
Attended the stage play adaptation of A Thousand Splendid Suns. The portrayal of misogynist tyranny in Afganistan was like watching a Taliban Lifetime special (in a good way). Guys are born with so much privilege.
Watched “The Noteworthy Life of Howard Barnes.” A regular guy’s life turns into a musical (aka my-dream-come-true). Incredible talent and set but plot was kinda lacking.
Watched the Little Shop of Horrors musical. The main characters were uniquely portrayed by puppets (like in Avenue Q). Sadly, the urchin ensemble desperately lacked its characteristic soul music quality.
