So Good It Should Be Tuesday

Well, it's been a very good news day. To start with, I got my Mandy Patinkin tickets first thing this morning. Then I clicked over to playbill.com and saw the good news that finally, the strike is over. I'm going to say it one final time, I admire the producers for sticking to their guns, but they should have hired whoever they needed to to keep the shows going, and I would have been more than happy to help out for free. I wish I could be in New York tomorrow, in celebration there's going to be a free daytime concert at the Marquis to celebrate the return of Broadway, featuring Bernadette Peters, Angela Lansbury, and Bob Martin, among others. It sounds like a fabulous afternoon and I'd give anything to be there. Lastly, Patti is heading back to Broadway. The City Center Encores production of Gypsy, which I was so fortunate to see back in July, is transferring to Broadway in March with Ms. LuPone reprising her role. FINALLY, that long overdue second Tony may become a reality. I'll be at Borders the day that cast recording hits the stores, it's going to be a classic.
