A Strange Night at the Theatre

othelianna had two tickets to see Evelyn Strange on opening night. She had put out a blanket request for guests and I ended up going. I hadn't intended to on account of I'm always getting spare tickets from her and I wanted to let someone else get a chance to go. I resolved that if the tickets were still up for grabs at 5pm, I'd say "to hell with everyone else, those tickets are mine!"

Needless to say, everyone else missed a really good play. A really really good play. It was a well-written mystery/comedy set in the 50's. All four actors had pitch-perfect comedic timing (hell, one of them played Ash in last year's Evil Dead - The Musical). It was funny in the same way that Kermit is funny in the Muppets - Normally rational people who are exasperated to find themselves in a ridiculous situation but can't seem to extract themselves from it.

We laughed our asses off. It was opening night, so its still playing. Go watch it, it was a ton of fun and well worth the time spent.

Afterward, R and I hung around the lobby chatting with assorted theatre people and finished off the evening at the Auburn where we had mediocre food surrounded by beautiful theatre people. I may have ogled a tiny bit.
