HELLO !

AT LAST
We saw BOOK OF MORMON LAST NIGHT!

The darling of the 2011 Tonys has NEVER been on TKTS, so we had never seen it. The road show has been in Rochester before  - and it was always a " lets go see it! " , but we always forgot. Lucky for us this time, someone wrote Neil an email saying that they had just been and BOOM, Neil had us tickets. Surprisingly good ones... way down and smack in the middle.

Is it possible for a show to live up to three years of big time hype, and in some cases , if not most, the answer is no - but not in this one. It is a wonderful show, smart , funny and that rarest of rare these days SINGABLE! Yes, you can walk out of the theater humming a song from this show.
It is everything you have heard - all sacred cows end up on the grill. But , in the end it comes full circle and is a very sweet , warm - very affirming show! 
Many of the cast members have been in the Broadway run - really, it was first rate and most enjoyable.

It was the last night for the Rochester run - this is where Moroni will travel to Syracuse and beyond.
Then we bought some soup.
