This one is early 90s but it’s close enough. The experience of going to see this in the movies with my mom and aunt in 1993 or whatever is one of my most favorite going-to-the-movies memories ever

It’s uncouth to admit but my favorite is “Manhattan Murder Mystery”.

After the show I played her the Elaine Stritch “Ladies Who Lunch”, she was so excited!!!

I was like “Now this is rather iconic…”

“Tavis” (she calls me Tavis) “I just saw this great musical I think you would really like, called ‘Company’, by Stephen Sondheim.”

I didn’t tell you how this came to be: Steph’s Mom has season tickets to Wagner College’s theatre. She sees all the musicals. She just had surgery so Steph took her ticket to see Company. Despite being my best friend of 40 years, she had never heard of it. She calls me that night, VERY excited:

One time my mom took me to a production of “Assassins” in Tarrytown and she didn’t realize it was a MIDDLE SCHOOL PRODUCTION and it was actually AMAZING. The young girl who played Giuseppe Zangara was incredible.

I’m seeing a very fine college production of “Company” on Staten Island tonight, in case you were wondering HOW DEVOTED I AM TO SONDHEIM.

I gave up caffeine during the early days of the pandemic. Today is the first day I’m forced back in the office. I have been here for under 10 minutes and have already made myself a cup of real coffee with caffeine in it. 😞

I told Sean the entire show has been building to this moment and nothing will be as good

This finally came up in our Mad Me rewatch(me)/watch-through (Sean) and I rewound and watched it three times.

I really love to sing and my favorite thing to sing is in “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria” where Mother Superior sings “SHE’S A GIRL!”
