Falstaff

The Met provides its amazing performances to be cast Live in HD, at theaters throughout the country . While in New York caught a performance of Falstaff, by Giuseppe Verdi on HD. It was a hilarious comedy of a man attempting to seduce another man’s wife. The music and acting was 5 star as love letters were exchanged, and a plot to revenge the devilish avenger brewed.

Prices for these performances are in the $25 range, and one feels as if they are actually at the performance with the film resolution. Another bonus – the actors are interviewed during intermission discussing their roles. But the most fascinating of these performances is the back stage movement where the sets are removed and new installed.

What choreography occurs as the curtain is closed.

Scores are available on Amazon.

So.. for all those craving a live performance check this out in your local movie theaters.

It’s a bang for the buck!

Shucked

This new play at the Nederlander Theater is bound to be a hit. If you like Hee-Haw type humor with corny jokes, you’ll love this play. It was entertaining, humorous, with great songs, and performances. It will have you leave the theater uplifted.

Its story line is a bit crazed but that adds to the humor, and what I particularly liked was after jokes they waited a bit. In Six, the play, it was hilarious but too fast paced, and missed much of the folly, however, Shucked has figured out how to handle the pauses so all jokes get heard.

Prices were reasonable for a theater ticket – recommend Stub Hub, and I receive no kick backs just hate hearing folks pay $25-30 in fees. Theater tickets are expensive enough.

So if you are in town for a play try to catch a ticket for Shucked, or Some Like it Hot as have heard it is equally entertaining.
