Happy New Year!

I am lucky to have my life!

One of my gifts from Lisa was a Do-It-Yourself-Munny. You can draw on it, make it into a new character, whatever!

He came with some accessories, a skateboard, bow tie, policeman's hat and pen to hold. I decided that I will use it as a 2009 journal and write on it. At the end of each day I will write one sentance, word or phrase on him. I decided to work from his feet up.

Yesterday I wrote, "I'm lucky to have my life." It is a big statement. But I meant lucky as in fortunate, not like it just fell in my lap. I had friends over for a New Year's day brunch, and just loved having my friends around, in my home I have made, filled with laughter, a career I love and just a really awesome life that gives me great joy and satisfaction!

Thanks again Lisa for the great gift!

Equus

The purpose for my recent trip to New York was to see Equus. The trip was planned around the purchase of the tickets for the show.

I bought a show poster as a souvenier, it seemd like the thing to do when you are at the show and amazed by the production! But on second look, it is a really nicely done poster.

Many of these show posters, show the star smiling, or tell you what the whole show is about. And while this one does do that at some level, it also tells you everything about the show without giving anything away!

The image is an amazing interpretation of the play, the young boy and a horse being merged into one image. The logo tells you of the metal spike, the tail of the Q, that Alan, the main character, uses for his crime.

My one minute review of the show. . . quite brilliant! Everything I read prior and since it lived up to. Daniel Radcliffe, formerly known as Harry Potter has most definitely left his wizarding robes in London! Richard griffiths is not off the stage for more than minutes and is brilliant. The added bonus was that of Kate Mulgrew, who plays the attorney who brings Alan to Dysart's office to begin the dicovery of this mystery.

Going to New York? get youself to the Broadhurst Theatre for a treat!

Fuerzabruta

Saw some amazing theatre while in New York. First was Come Back Little Sheba starring Kevin Anderson and S Epatha Merkerson. All that New York Broadway theatre should be. It was THE show to see. And we got tickets at TKTS, go down to the South Street Seaport TKTS booth. Not a single person there!

The other show we saw was Fuerzabrtua, off broadway. It is pretty much Brazillian Cirque Du Soleil. And if you know me at all, you know what a HUGE Cirque fan I am! This was a real stunner! A visual treat for ALL the senses. Just an hour off pulse charging sound, rythms, water, people flying through the air, breaking through walls. Just watch the trailer and see!
