Our play last night was a new production of Lend Me a Tenor at the Music Box Theatre. Stanley Tucci is directing, and he has cast his buddies Tony Shalhob and Anthony LaPaglia as well as Justin Bartha (Hangover) in his Broadway debut. The play is a silly farce complete with two identically costumed, black-faced Othellos, lots of physical humor, and funny sight gags. Bartha is simply terrific as the young assistant who ends up impersonating the great Italian opera star the Cleveland Opera House has hired for a huge gala event. It was a fun night, and great to see Shalob (as the producer having a slow break down) and LaPaglia (as the Italian tenor) on stage.

Friday in the City
Kind of a gray day in the city, so after a yummy breakfast at our favorite restaurant (where we are greated like old friends), we headed up to the Lincoln Center Cinema to see a restored version of Fellini's classic film, 8 1/2 . It was cool to see it on the big screen and it seemed like a very New York thing to do on a Friday afternoon.
