Is He Dead?

My mother was in town during the Christmas holiday and I just had to take her to a Broadway show. She had visited New York as a child, loved theater, and had never been able to see a show. So for her 50th Birthday I decided to take her to see Mark Twain’s Is He Dead?

We went to the box to get our tickets. The ticket holder informed me that I booked tickets for the weekend prior! I couldn’t believe it. I’d mistaken the date. But not to worry, he informed me. It was kind of my lucky day, he continued. Sure enough he comped our third row tickets when we had purchased fifth to the last row at the very top of the three tier Lyceum Theatre!! So our $25 a piece tickets ended up being worth $100 each!

And how grand it was. Almost the entire show my mom and I were laughing. Not so much at the sometimes ignorable dialogue, but the physical comedy had our sides splitting.
Plus, who can deny that Norbert Leo Buts (Tony Award winner) is to die for? He defiantly gave my mother and I a pretty little smile. And when I say pretty I mean it; he was dressed in a lovely blue satin gown with beautiful red curls.
