Just left the last showing of the Sing-a-Long Sound of Music at the @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social. Booing Nazis was especially cathartic this year.

If you’ve not seen Hundreds of Beavers, do yourself a favor and go watch it with a packed house. It’s spectacularly clever and fun.

Broke out my @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social coffee (or hot chocolate) mug on the 1st, and it's a beautiful sipper. The groove hits the mouth perfectly to guarantee a smooth delivery every time.
