A long-awaited chance to finally--FINALLY!--be in the room where it happens demands another update of my humble theater-goin' c.v.
This week, Brenda and I saw the touring cast of Hamilton execute a captivating performance at Syracuse's Landmark Theatre, and we witnessed a brilliant production of the lesser-known (but also stunning) The Hello Girls at Syracuse Stage. We feel fortunate to have had such great opportunities to experience live theater. We look forward to more. Like King George III his own royal self commands: We'll be back.

As I wrote in a separate post in 2020: "After finally experiencing my first-ever play on Broadway in 2019, I hoped to make that an annual event. The pandemic deferred that plan, but Broadway will return, and I will return to it." I look forward to adding more plays to this list...someday."
From previous updates:
"As a companion to my ongoing Virtual Ticket Stub Gallery of pop performers I've seen in live concerts, and a follow-up to my love letter to theater, this list will attempt to make note of every live play I've ever seen. The limits of memory place an even greater restriction on this than on my concert-goin' resumé recreation, but I'll continue to update this list as both sudden recollection and (I hope) new live theater experiences dictate.
"This list does not differentiate between musicals and dramatic plays, nor does it care if the setting was Broadway, off-Broadway, the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London, Syracuse Stage, community theater, college campuses, high schools, middle schools, elementary schools, or Shakespeare in the park. As always: the play's the thing."
