Broadway, baby!
Someday, I'll see a Broadway show in NYC, but until then, I must settle with the tour stops in Nashville.
Last Thursday, we went to see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at TPAC. I've been anxious to see this for a while. Originally a movie, it was adapted for Broadway and nominated for several Tony's a few years ago.
If you dont already know, it's about two con-men in a fancy casino area on the French Riviera. They're usually successful with the con jobs but not always.
I was a bit nervous that it would suck after reading a bad review in the local paper (for whatever that is worth) and a negative comment about it from another Broadway fan (FWTIW as well).
I actually enjoyed it and was entertained most of the time (when I wasnt distracted by the lady next to me who thought EVERYTHING was LOL funny). I wanted to sshhh her so bad, but who am I to take away someone elses joy?)
The downside was that one of the 2 major characters was played by an understudy & I didnt think he was the best fit for that role. Aside from that, I had a good time and wouldnt be scared to recommend to anyone.

I live in Chattanooga and was so bummed to know I'd be missing this show tomorrow night. Even more bummed to hear it would have been worth seeing.
Nice blog!
Sounds like a fun night, Gurl
It's good to see you back with a bang!
