Recent Acquisitions and Upcoming Events

It's been a while since I've posted an update, and given my relative lack of interest in recent articles on playbill (although I was saddened to hear that The Vertical Hour is closing 3 weeks early, diminishing my chances of seeing it, but I'm glad that it's closing in the black).

Recent Acquisitions:
Baker Street
Frankenstein: The Musical
Oklahoma! (1966 Studio Cast Recording)

On a recent trip to the library I picked up:
Mamma Mia!
Of Thee I Sing/Let 'em Eat Cake
Kiss Me Kate (1948 Original Broadway Cast Recording)
South Pacific (Original Broadway Cast Recording, after hearing this I'm on the fence about which disc I prefer more, the 1988 studio cast or this one)
Damn Yankees (1994 Broadway Revivial Cast Recording)

Upcoming Events:
Dialogues of the Carmelites (Lyric Opera, February 17)
Legends! (LaSalle Bank Theatre, February 24)
Music of the Baroque (Harris Theatre, February 27)
My Chemical Romance (ok, not technically theatre but they are very dramatic and got Liza to do a guest vocal on their most recent CD, Allstate Arena March 1)
Linda Eder (Palace Theatre, March 3)
Cosi Fan Tuti (Lyric Opera, March 4)
Phantom Las Vegas (Venetian, March 30)
Liza Minnelli (Luxor, March 31)

And hopefully, sometime this month I would like to see the new musical Adding Machine at Noyes Theatre in Evanston. It's gotten raves and it would be nice to be able to say I was there at the beginning.
