Drowsy Chaperone

Saw the Drowsy Chaperone on Broadway this weekend. We were a little hesitant about what to go see, but thanks to Ryan’s recommendation, we landed on this show. The guys at TKTS said it got mixed reviews, though we can’t see how. The show was a riot, laugh-out-loud funny and witty.

On Sunday we went to the David Smith exhibition at the Guggenheim. The Guggenheim does a lot of things well in my opinion; nearly the whole of the collection is constantly rotating, and the museum is small enough so that you can physically see everything in a couple of hours. Bag check and the audio tour are also included as part of the admission price. Despite my previous experience of developing an audio tour system in Melbourne, this was actually the first time that I actually got to use the Antenna Audio audio tour devices that we read so much about. They were rugged, simple to use, and the production value was quite good. w00t.

The Weekend @ Princeton

Some pretty hot dancing this weekend at the Princeton Ballroom Competition. Gherman Mustuc and Iveta Lukosiute didn’t mess around. They put on a full 6 or 7 dance show at the ball the night before, very impressive.

Prema and I placed 4th in Silver Swing/Mambo. And of course good times were to be had in Miles’ accord coupe during the trip there and back :).

Ellis and Friends

Packed Ellis Paul concert at the Somerville Theater this evening. Ellis had a small band with him, and even Flynn came on stage for a few songs. Though perhaps the most memorable pieces of the evening were the songs by Antje Duvekot. I first heard her opening for Ellis at his valentine’s day concert at WPI. But this time some downloading must be done.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

Went to go see the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater last night at the Wang. What a show! The first two pieces they performed, Shining Star, and Caught were particularly strong. I’ve never really appreciated modern dance until that performance.

The theater visits Boston every spring, and is here though the weekend. Highly recommended! Many thanks to Amola for getting me to go and for the ticket!

Going to Ellis Paul tonight. woooo.
