So...I've been a little ill lately (no swine flu, oops), just a sore throat, and my boyfriend did just about a million nice things for me today - he bought skinny cow ice cream sandwiches, my favorite duane reade honey-lemon cough drops (that I actually use as mints), chicken noodle soup and haribo gummy bears..but the best was theater tickets!!!A. and I go to the theater pretty regularly, and I have been nagging him to see "The 39 Steps" since we moved here...and finally we found tickets we could afford (today, for a show at 7pm!) Ah, and it was everything I wanted it to be.
From the website:
"Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have THE 39 STEPS, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! This 2-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a ridiculously talented cast of 4), an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers and some good old-fashioned romance! In THE 39 STEPS, a man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she's a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization called "The 39 Steps" is hot on the man's trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale! A riotous blend of virtuoso performances and wildly inventive stagecraft, THE 39 STEPS amounts to an unforgettable evening of pure pleasure!"
It's playing at the Helen Hayes Theater at 44th between 7th & 8th.
p.s. i really appreciated the shadow puppet theater show.
