I went to see Pippin today--because of my minor thesis breakthrough on my paper last night, I felt it was justified. Also it was a free ticket, since Andy's mum & brother couldn't go--so he took Cozy & me instead. We dressed up all fancy, & then walked to the 5th ave.
By the way, those high heeled shoes really, really aren't meant for walking fast, for that long, on concrete. I got a few incredible blisters (but Anne fixed them! With thread and bandaids).
Pippin was amazing. I know it got some awful reviews, & I can see why someone wouldn't like it, but I enjoyed myself to no end. The songs were fabulous, Stephen Schwartz is a genius, Pippin was a beautiful singer, the premise was so much fun... "He might be a little nervous, it's his first time playing this part." -"Can I have some more light?" -"...okay, not that nervious then."
Afterwards we stood near the stage door and waited, & Andy shook Pippin's hand & was all cool & professional in saying how much he liked it. & then Cozy blurts, "you were so good. You have a beautiful singing voice!" & then proceeds to get all embarassed. Oh, I love that girl. I need to go to fancy theater more often. It's so much fun.
I managed to finish my paper, too. I still have Virginia Woolf to read & I'm still behind on Silone & I haven't really begun the Stalin book & I'm stuck on philosophy BUT. I can manage. I have to.
