I’m seeing #PlayingShylock on a voter’s invite.
I’ve been seeing Stephen Schwartz musicals lately. This is my voter’s invite to #TheBakersWife (adapting a 1938 French movie) at CSC, starring the likes of Ariana DeBose, Scott Bakula, and Kevin Del Aguila. I got the PR email that Judy Kuhn will be out, with Wendi Bergamini understudying.

“You’re asking ME to play Monopoly? A game that the capitalists stole from that poor Quaker? Yeah, I play it. Let’s play.”

"You LANDLORD!... You freakin' LANDLORD!" *as I put Ozian coins in my friend's hand*

I never really checked the Broadway box office grossings numbers recently and I wonder how-
Holidays aren't typically so great, but even I wasn't expecting that weekly box office performance for #StrangerThings: THE FIRST SHADOW on Broadway. Below 80% capacity.

I’ve heard things but this Public Theater musical is a personal anticipation for me. I also saw the Lincoln Center revival of the Thornton Wilder play and I miss that dinosaur puppet (which will probably be different here). #TheSeatOfOurPants

I got a spare ticket to ART on Broadway tomorrow at 7:00PM
If anyone wants to join me for free, DM me. Indoor Seatmate Masking Rule. You also cannot have seen this play already.

I got my post-op drain vessel removed. I seem a little dazed from anesthesia. But otherwise I can catch a play.
This is a comedy about the assassination that started WWI. The kid from RAGTIME was onto something. “Warn the Duke!”

While recovering from surgery, I watched the on-demand streaming of #TheMonkeyKingOpera by Huang Ruo and David Henry Hwang. It's exquisitely directed by Diane Paulus.
Thanks, San Francisco Opera.

My surgeon says it’s all right for me to sit through a movie with a painful drain attached to me.
It’s all right for me to sit through #Zootopia2 I’m sure.

Wow, I can't believe they made a spin-off miniseries of Stephen Sondheim & John Weidman's ASSASSINS musical. It better have a "The Ballad of Guiteau" song number.

KYOTO gave me a New Zealand delegate card.
Its energy use in 1997 was 4,259 kg per person.

My surgeon says it’s all right for me to sit through a play. But it was painful and nerving to drag myself here. I would have postponed this voter’s invite if weren’t for the fact KYOTO is on its final week. No room to accommodate a disability-friendly seat but this is fine-ish.

Appropriately on the first day of post-op pain with a vessel attached to my body, I bought an Opera American virtual ticket to watch Opera Praktikos's Spoon Theory Song Cycle.

I’m at home with my Jackson Pratt vessel attached to my body. But anyway, have a post-op pic of me chewing on a cracker that happened less than 24 hours ago. Sadly on the Lyft home, I felt nausea and then puked (luckily we reached the destination right on time and I did so outdoors).
