A Chorus Line

Last night, Katherine and I went to a performance of "A Chorus Line" at the Curran Theater in San Francisco. This is a revival production trying out here before moving to Broadway. This is a very strong cast. Performances are sold out here and my guess is that it will run in New York for a long time.

I could single out Ken Alan as Bobby, Natalie Cortez as Diana, or Charlotte d'Amboise as Cassie as being outstanding. They were. But those were big roles. The wonderful thing about this production is that every person in the cast sparkles in their role.

Probably I'm like the man that was always in love with the last girl that he met, but I will say it anyhow. "Chorus Line" and "West Side Story" are the two great American musicals of the twentieth century. Comments?

Busy and Ken


This is a photo of Elizabeth, "Busy", King (Katherine's sister) and her husband Ken. It was taken on our recent cruise. They are looking out the windows of the day lounge. The lounge has mirrors on facing walls that give the familiar "vanishing to infinity" effect.

It was difficult to take this photo without my reflection appearing in the mirrors. That is why Busy and Ken are placed a little to the left of where I would have liked them to be in the photo.

Before the Bering Sea trip we went to Antarctica with them. We liked this so much that we are beginning to plan a trip to Norway next year.
