So of course the first thing we did was go to the Brooklyn Library to get our library cards.
As you can see, it's a very beautiful library. Actually, I think they just added a new facade because when you get inside, it feels old.
The first show I wanted to see was Cabaret because of the stars. Michelle Williams played Sally Bowles and Alan Cumming from the Good Wife played the Emcee. He has done the part many times and they were both terrific.
On Sunday I tried to get in to see Kenneth Branaugh in Macbeth. I didn't get there early enough. (There were people who spent the night in sleeping bags. They gave out 35 tickets and I was number 70. So I called Ed and he came over and we went through the Frick. What a fabulous collection of art. He had at least two Vermeers, many Rembrandts, etc. Just a magnificent collection and magnificent house.
We went to the Wednesday matinee this week and stopped to have lunch at Maria Pia an Italian restaurant in Hell's Kitchen. Really a nice place.
We had never seen Jersey Boys. When we were here 4 years ago the ticket was just too hot. We are finding what shows are hot this year and we're going to have to bite the bullet to see them.
