This weeks show was Hairspray. We saw it for the first time 5 years ago and really liked it. Can you believe we’ve never seen the movie? Anyway, the show is really cute and the actress who played Tracy Turnblad, Ryann Redmond, was really good. It was her Muny debut. Liz Mikel who played Motormouth Maybelle was fantastic. Wow, can she sing! This was her second Muny performance as she was in Seussical last year. The weather didn’t look promising but luckily, it didn’t rain.
We ate dinner at the Culver Pavillion before the show. Years ago, we would eat there before every show when LoRusso’s catered the food but then the Muny formed their own catering company and we weren’t too impressed. We tried it again last year and liked it so we decided to make reservations for dinner for three different shows based on the menu. This week, one of the featured items was crab cakes. Yum! They also had various sides such as a meat, cheese and fruit platter, risoto salad, a roasted potato salad, green beans, salad, baked potato bar, as well as two other entrees; chicken and beef. It was all really good.
The next show is in two weeks; Holiday Inn. Stay tuned…
