this musical was a part of my Boadway in Chicago subscription, and my neighbor with whom we share this subscription had a conflict, and then her conflict ran into my conflict, and finally, the only show we could see was the last one. And then she got COVID. And then she recovered but was still too weak to do things. And finally, she said she could make it!
We went on Friday night, and that was the beginning of my long weekend. The day at work was unbelievably quiet (after the end of the month, the end of the quarter, and before the long weekend, there was virtually nobody in the office). We were dismissed about 3-30, and I spent the next two and a half hours doing my things and picking up loose ends.
And then we went to the show, and it was fantastic!
The music was extremely moving and energizing, and since we sat very closely, we weree so absorbed by the music that we could not even talk after the show ended. We just repeated to each other: It was so good!
