296 - And All That Jazz

Come on, Babe, why don't we paint the town ...

The last show of the Jacksonville Broadway Season was tonight - Chicago.  It's been here 3 times, and yes, I saw it all 3 times (plus once on Broadway).  I love this show, though, and will see it again.  The evening started out with a wonderful dinner with Stacy.  It was so good to be able to talk with her one-on-one, catch up on life and continue our friendship.  EJG and IMG met us at the theatre, and we proceded down to our pit seats.  In many ways, I love being being that close to the stage (front row, pit) because it's easy to separate the actors from their characters.  True, you don't get the over-all view of the stage, but I still watch a show partially with a learner's eye.  This cast was not the best I've seen (as a friend of mine put it, Roxie was a member of AARP), but it was still good.

You can't beat good friends and an evening of theatre.  I count myself a very lucky person.

It's good, isn't it?

Grand, isn't it?

Great, isn't it?

Swell, isn't it?

Fun, isn't it?
