I am sorry that this is coming so late. I have been very busy but wanted to make sure that I did not miss another week. I hope everyone is doing well. Also, thank you for all of the views I really appreciate it. Tell your blogging friends to check me out if you enjoy my reviews and don’t be afraid to leave a comment, I enjoy talking to people.
Last weekend I saw a show called Lend Me A Tenor at the Paper Mill Playhouse. What threw me originally was that it is NOT a musical. This is actually an English farce. Basically what that boils down to is a live action comedy. Boy did it live up to the name. It was hilarious! Not only was it clever, this was definitely the first time I have been in an audience that was laughing at being spit on. I know right? They launched grapes at us during spit takes. Very unique. Set in an Ohio hotel suite in 1934, the show was about a wannabe singer who will do anything to live his dream and impress his “fiancé”. One cast member really needs to be mentioned here. His name is Michael Kostroff. Kostroff’s over the top acting and facial expressions were perfect for the role. Though I was unsure at first, this turned out to be a wonderful experience and I would see another farce anytime. B+ for Lend Me A Tenor.
I really am missing Downton Abbey. I wish I could see the next season already. But, even more, I would love to see Game of Thrones. That show is outstanding and has some great surprises. Another quick note before I go. I have recently been checking out Sherlock from the BBC network. Really wonderful acting. The lead, Benedict Cumberbatch, is phenomenal and reminds me a bit of Matt Smith. Be sure to check it out.
Have a good Sunday night all.
