New York fantasy
I'm not going anywhere at the moment (except Las Vegas for the opening of Jersey Boys later this week -- hope to be blogging live if technology cooperates, but if not, check in on Sunday afternoon).Where I'd most like to go, of course, is New York to visit friends and SEE BROADWAY SHOWS! It's been about a year since my last trip, and you might say I'm jonesing for the Great White Way. And there's so much to see at the moment.Below you'll find my list of most desirable shows. If you've seen any and care to comment, I'd love to hear from you and share your thoughts with other Theater Dogs (you can comment on the blog or e-mail me directly at chiatovich@gmail.com).GypsyAugust: Osage CountySouth PacificSunday in the Park with GeorgeA Catered AffairPassing StrangeIn the HeightsIt's amazing that #1 and #3 are golden oldies that have new life on Broadway, and #1 and #4 are both Sondheim-related. I'm dying to see Passing Strange again -- it was so good at Berkeley Repertory Theatre. I'd love to see how the show has evolved and how it plays for a Broadway audience. It's actually thrilling that, in spite of the big-ticket revivals, that four out of seven shows on my list are actually new work.
