Saturday was West Side Story


Once again we participated in the lottery, and once again we got tickets. This time there were only 18 tickets; the entire first row of the Palace Theater. So okay, the front row has its pros and its cons, but for $26 each, we did it. We were the last tickets drawn, talk about a nail biter. The girl who played Maria was from Argentina--only 21. The guy who played Tony has a BFA from Penn. The entire production was excellent.
The Puerto Ricans spoke Spanish. I know we missed stuff because about half the audience spoke Spanish. They were laughing; we weren't. But it was great; authentic.

  1. You two are having one terrific summer. You'll always remember the summer of 2010 -- this was one hell of a great idea. Why not just stay there forever?

  2. Hi Sweet Janet,
    It has been so much fun to keep up with you two. No 7 No Trump hands yet. However, you can be sure that we still remember you! Love and miss you. I don't agree with your friend to stay there forever. We want you back on Tybee Island. Love and miss you.
