I went to see West Side Story on Thursday night at the Fox. It was the usual going to see a play chaos in the summertime. It is too hot, you'll expect it to be cooler by the time you get inside but it is not. Parking shysters are everywhere, discouraging you from attending arts events by charging way too much for parking, and then downtown area is so hard to maneuver, even with my navigation system. It's the usual chaotic ebb and flow. This will be the second to last play in awhile. I really shouldn't have gone for this one. I saw the movie briefly as a kid and I remember not really liking it, I don't know why I thought I'd prefer the play. Surprisingly, the best one out of the three I have seen so far -Dreamgirls, Seven brides for Seven brothers and West Side Story - is...Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. And this last one left such a bad taste in my mouth, financially and otherwise, I don't know if I am going to be able to go see STOMP. I am going to see Women of Brewster Place. Loved the movie, hopefully this one will not disappoint and it is in a better venue, so that might make up for the heat at the Fox.
Just purchased tickets to Women of Brewster Place. It cost a whopping $40!!! This is the last play of the year, I promise.
