Fluff is better

Man.

Company was good. It was dramatic, it was funny, it was Sondheim.
There was no band or orchestra or pre-recorded track. They were great!

Mamma Mia! is, by comparison, a sitcom. BUT, The music! It was all re-recorded, but it retained all the little musical gems that any ABBA fan remembers. Lots of old great hits, but put into new context. Kudos to the music arranger, the writer and the cast! It was soooo funny! Visual and physical gags galore! Some of the costumes were so kitschy, they were perfect howlers.

[Sigh] Why can't we have this kind of quality in Singapore?

On a completely unrelated topic, I had dinner at the Montparnasse, chosen from their Pre-Theatre menu, which was a Prix Fixe.

Duck Terrine appetizer (those are two pieces of crunchy toast, not deep fried sow's ears)
Coq Au Vin with mashed potato and chopped salt pork (chicken was dry, but gravy was nicely smokey - it was interesting, but far from the best coq au vin I've had - I'm using the Parisienne version as a benchmark)

And for dessert, Creme Brulee and a Doppio Espresso (why do American waiters always confirm that this is a Double EXpresso?). No pics because the pic I took was ugly.

Phew! Time to rest me poor abused feet. More walking to maybe the Guggenheim, Moma, or the Cloisters...

Oh, if you see footage of the Protest Against the Iraq war in New York, look for me in the background. I'm one of the few thousand people wearing black.
Like the St Patrick's day parade, and maybe footage of ConEd examining some manholes around 55th St. Yes, I walked everywhere today.
