Mynee's Musings

Mamma Mia

This week's show was Mamma Mia.  It's not one of Bill's favorites (it's too girly...hee hee hee) so I went with my sister, Lisa.  We ate dinner at Pappo's Pizzeria & Pub (former home of Six Row) before the show.  Yummy hand tossed crust with pesto, mozzarella, artichokes, kalmatas and pine nuts.  Super yummy.  Lisa enjoyed their wheat beer (of course) and I had the IPA (of course). 

I love how The Muny is posting short videos of each show online this year...

 

 

The weatherman was predicting 100 degrees with high humidity.  Well, I'm not sure what happened but it cooled off and it was a pretty evening with temps in the low 80's.  The fans that were installed a few years ago do help tremendously too.  Good thing because Lisa hates the heat.   She told me to remind her about how well the fans work if she's ever hesitant to go to future shows.  :)

No show next week, Fiddler in two weeks.

Young Frankenstein

We saw Young Frankenstein at The Muny last night.  We saw it a few years ago at the Fox and it was great but I think this production was even better.  I've mentioned before that I'm not a Mel Brooks fan and I've never seen the movie but the musical is hilarious. Take a peek:  

 

We ate dinner at the Culver Pavilion again.  This week, it was crab cakes, cajun rubbed skirt steak, portobello mushroom ravioli, salads including a yummy pea and bacon salad, sides, cheeses, breads, etc and carrot cake for dessert.  Yummy!

Next week, Mama Mia with my sister. 

The Music Man

We saw Music Man at the Muny on Friday.  I always remember that I like it but then I see it and remember that I love it, just like Sound of Music.  Hee hee hee. So many good songs; Goodnight My Someone, 76 Trombones, Pick-A-Little, Wells Fargo Wagon, Shipoopi.  Here's a clip from the show...  

 

We ate dinner at the Culver Pavillion; fried shrimp, chicken fajitas, pepper encrusted strip loin, salads, cheeses, breads,sides, cold peach soup which was actually very good and kind of tasted like melted orange sherbet, YUM, and caramel cheesecake for dessert .

Next week, Young Frankenstein.

Pittsburgh Pirates

So, we saw our fourth game of the season last night.  It was the Pirates vs the Cards. There was no bobblehead for this game and the Cards lost 5 to 2. It was still fun though.

Trevor Rosenthal pitched as a middle reliever.  I don't get it.  He can't cut it as a closer so he still gets to play?  Ugh, he needs to be sent to Memphis to "figure it out" as Matheny said when he sent Kolten Wong to Memphis.  Grrrr.....
