Did you guys get your tickets in advance? I don't know how limited the seating is, I'd hate for anybody to miss it if, for some reason, it sells out.

I've got mine.

I don't want lousy seats, so I think showing up just half an hour before curtain is a little dicey. imo.

OK 8 people, I'll make reservations

And I think half hour before showtime would be fine because it is a small theatre. Cheeseman will be speaking with the artistic director of the theatre today and making sure

Reservations have been made in my name. For this dinner travels directly to..... the Sondheim Zone.

6:30 Reservations. Larchmont Grill for 8. I told the guy making reservations that we needed to be out of there like 7:30, so he said they could put a rush on the food (so bring extra tip money lol). So try, if you can, to be there on time

5750 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles 90038 is the restaurant address.

See y'all there!

In the Sondheim Zone, is the three-note theme song less melodic?

We'll see you as soon as we can at Larchmont!

Just spoke with Les, the artistic director, 7:30 should be fine. Parking is tight, so park near the restaurant, and we'll walk from there.

Thanks to everybody who joined me tonight! I really enjoy sharing theater experiences with friends, and I was glad to be surrounded by you while watching one of my favorite shows.

I loved Sarah Jane and Bick... was disappointed with Booth's lack of ferociousness (ferociocity?) and the Balladeer's lack of muscular diaphragm. Interesting to see their double-casting choice (though it's definitely not my favorite) and disappointed that I still don't like "Something Just Broke." I understand why they include it, I think it's a great song, but something about it - particularly in between that brilliant "BANG! - Hail to the Chief - Everybody's Got the Right" arc - squeaks away inertia like a deflating balloon.

Still, I quite enjoyed the production. Staging was great, there were some great performances and you just can't beat the material.

There's something deeply unsettling, though, thinking about assassinations right now. Wondering what might happen to the play if ever there's another.
