The red maples on the Great Lawn in Central Park were in full color this week. Perfection.

My friends and I enjoyed delicious drinks and lunch at Tavern on the Green. The Boathouse Cafe in Central Park might have the edge on setting, but I love the old sheepfold which houses Tavern On the Green, and Tavern wins on meal quality. This cocktail, called a Brooklyn, is a version of a Manhattan and was fabulous.

One thing remains constant. Central Park is beautiful.

I didn’t think it would happen but I went back to the Kit Kat Club to see Cabaret. I had seen it with its original cast it this past April and really didn’t like it.

Because my friend, Marty, having seen the show several times in the past, was undecided but decided to get a ticket, I elected to join him because Adam Lambert moved into the role of Emcee and I was curious. I’m so glad I did. Lambert has such a beautiful singing voice and inhabited the role in an appropriately decadent and sinister manner. Auli’i Cravalho, the voice of Moana, which I love, was a satisfyingly angry and defeated Sally Bowles. I really hope she does more musical stage work in the future. The supporting cast, including Bebe Neuwirth as Fraulein Schneider, are all very good.

I appreciated the pre-show arrangement downstairs more this time, despite being deprived of the free shot of schnapps. It’s fun being so close to the hunky, scantily-clad dancers and musicians (Marty and I wondered if klezmer music was actually a thing in 1930 Berlin club culture). They sure do a lot of work before the show even begins.

I’m glad to say I recommend seeing Cabaret. Go see it!

Photo notes: I love the shot of me in the alley before we entered the theater - no photos allowed inside!

Over the course of her career, Mia Farrow acted on Broadway a total of four times, including the current production of The Roommate with Patti LuPone. The prior time was in 2014.

The arrival of new roommate, Robyn (LuPone) to her house in Iowa, proves to be the trigger that sets Farrow’s character, Sharon, aged 64, on a journey of extreme change. Mia does all of the heavy lifting here playing Sharon as she bounces off of Robyn and evolves in unexpected way. She’s funny, slightly ditzy, and powerful. My friend and I were very impressed with her acting skills, particularly given her lack of stage work. We know Patti LuPone is super comfortable on stage and it shows.

If you want to see a pair of pros doing their thing, you have until December to see this. We found our tickets at TKTS.

P.S. I’ve never seen a dog in the audience of a play. This little one in the photo was in the row in front of us and never made a peep.

While watching Suffs earlier this week, it occurred to me that it did the same thing Hamilton did several years back. Suffs is a refreshingly original piece based on an historic true story with a good book and really good songs, both written by Shaina Taub.

Taub also plays Alice Paul, the young upstart *third* generation leader of the women’s suffrage movement in the nineteen-teens (another similarity to Lin-Manuel Miranda’s portrayal of A. Hamilton). Having seen the excellent PBS two-parter about the women’s suffrage movement, I am familiar with the story, and was impressed with Taub’s skill in distilling the salient points of a very long fight into a two hour show. I haven’t yet seen The Outsiders, but I feel that this should have won the Tony Award for Best Show.

This is an important story and it’s an entertaining way to consume it.

I suggest watching The Vote for the extended story. It’s available for subscription on PBS but might re-air at some point.

Photo #3 is kind of fun - I managed to isolate (not intentionally) the conductor’s face during the bows.
