My friend Julian belongs to a theatre ticket buying club so he gets a single ticket to most shows. He went see Hair with a friend so he didn't need his single ticket. I had no plans for tonight and Teddy is with his mom so I took the ticket. I love the show. The music is great and it takes place in a time that I probably should have lived through.
I told Katie I was going and since she works very close to the theatre, she offered to meet for a drink before the show. We met at Kemia Bar which is one of those ultra cool places that you would never know it's there unless someone told you. Down an unmarked, dimly lit staircase into a very private bar with an even more private party room. The party room was empty so Katie and I sat in there and had a drink. I also had a light dinner consisting of marinated leeks and almonds and some cured salmon over greens.
She walked me to the theatre and said good night. I went in, sat down, and introduced myself to Anne (a theatre-friend of Julian's). After reading some of the witty Who's Who in the playbill (they are written in the style and language of the show), I settled in and waited for Age of Aquarius to start. It started on time and was a non-stop stream of groovy love, rock opera style. I recommend the show. It's not every day you get to see an entire Broadway cast completely nude.
Had I not been so distracted by the pre-show entertainment, I would have enjoyed it even more.
After the show I popped-by my mom's apartment on 46th since I was parked across the street.
