We had such a good time Friday night. 
We went first to a kitchen supply store and I fell in love, I could spend a ton of money there easily! Which means Harv's glad it's a good thing it's a long drive to that particular store.  My goodness, they had everything there that you could imagine, and then some! I spent close to a hundred dollars there and didn't get a quarter of what I'd like to buy. LOL!  I plan on having Harv pick up a few things in a couple of weeks, and to go back myself as soon as I have some extra bucks to spend.
Then it was on to Penn Station for a bite to eat before going to the play. We shared a club sub, and it tasted great (of course), but I was really just too excited to eat very much. I did, however, eat the fries.  LOL! After Penn Station, it was on to the University's theater!
I've only been to two plays, that is until Friday night, and they were in my high school days and they were preformed by high school students. Now, to give them high school plays their due, I thought the students did an excellent job of it and enjoyed both plays at the time and in my memories. The first one was Camelot, the second was Fiddle on the Roof. Now I can add Chicago to my list of seen theater plays, with a more professional troup, and I REALLY enjoyed it.
They added a few of their own little twists, and there were a couple of numbers that I'd not heard in the other versions I've seen on the tube, but I liked that they did it with their own flair. I also liked how they managed certain scenes, like the 'Razzle Dazzle' number, the hanging of the young Hungarian girl, and Velma and Roxie's stage number. I liked how the background was also a part of the scenery and was used for exits and entrances. It was in the form of an old Chicago brownstone building, and it was were the 'orchestra' was placed. It was also neat that the conductor was also incorporated into their scenes. 
The only thing I didn't care for was how little room you had for sitting. The theater was built in the 1930's, or 40's, their audiences back then were all teeny, tiny, skinny people. The young lady sitting to my left told us that they cram the theater with students for classes, I couldn't imagine it, not these days.  Oh, and the rain. I could've done without the rain.  Still, all in all, we had a great night. Why, I didn't even get to bed until 3:00 a.m.!
