Ma...Hey Vance,<BR/>Wow, what an incredible year you had! Mazal tov!<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad I finally got a chance to meet you and that you encouraged me to see Black Watch. Thank-you! I never would have seen it without you. (It's too far, it's in Brooklyn, yada, yada, yada!) It truly was an incredible piece of theatre. Beyond all of the imaginative storytelling techniques, I thought the actors playing the soldiers were superb. <BR/><BR/>And I definitely agree with the other shows on your list that we both saw. I think A Catered Affair and 13 were both unfairly maligned by the critics. A Catered Affair told a simple story so well, with such poignancy and finely drawn characters and absolutely beautiful music. <BR/><BR/>I almost didn't see 13 and I'm so glad I did. Part of it was that even though I'm old enough to be his mother, I related to Evan's story. I think we've all felt like an outsider at one time or another. And the music, the acting, the choreography were all so energetic. It was a funny sweet story.<BR/><BR/>My biggest disappointment is missing Hair in Central Park. So it's definitely on my list for 2009.<BR/><BR/>And, finally, I will definitely avoid Dirty Dancing when it comes to Boston!Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.com
