The Boys in the Room

Posted on June 2, 2022 by Nathan

SPOILER WARNING for a few recent Kids in the Hall projects! Beth and I recently watched the new season on Amazon Prime, which, strangely enough, doesn’t cost any extra beyond the subscription fee. (Seriously, it seems like so much of … Continue reading →

Don’t Feed the Plants

Posted on November 17, 2021 by Nathan

Beth had bought some tickets for an Off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors at the Westside Theatre, and we saw it last night. I don’t think I actually saw the musical movie with Rick Moranis until college. I remember … Continue reading →

TRI-CAT CHALLENGE

Posted on January 15, 2020 by Nathan

I was never that interested in Cats when I was younger, but I probably would have liked at least the T.S. Eliot poems if I’d been familiar with them. Beth and I went to see the show on Broadway about … Continue reading →

Tin Hands Are Ku-Klip’s Workshop

Posted on August 13, 2018 by Nathan

So, I’m back from OzCon International, which was pretty Oz-some. It’s kind of disappointing that it’s over, but nice to get home again. When I first started going to Oz conventions, it was often one of the few chances I … Continue reading →

Crispin’s Night Speech

Posted on September 22, 2017 by Nathan

Beth, Stephanie and I saw Crispin Glover at the Alamo Drafthouse last night. If you don’t know who he is, he played George McFly in Back to the Future and came close to kicking David Letterman in the head. He’s … Continue reading →

A Dita-Lightful Evening

Posted on September 14, 2017 by Nathan

Okay, the evening itself was rather frustrating, but it was my first time seeing Dita Von Teese live, and I’d say that’s a positive experience. It was in Montclair, New Jersey rather than New York City, and while there are … Continue reading →

Where the Hell Are the Singing Cats?

Posted on July 28, 2017 by Nathan

Cats is a consistently popular but much maligned musical, and I guess it IS kind of dorky and cutesy. Then again, we live in a time when grown men openly love My Little Pony. Beth and I saw a Broadway … Continue reading →

Art with Brains and Courage

Posted on November 30, 2016 by Nathan

After my post on books in Oz, Paul Dana suggested that I write one about the performing arts in that fairyland. It’s a good idea, but they aren’t really covered all that much in the books. I’ve looked previously at … Continue reading →

OzConPhilly Back Again

Posted on August 8, 2016 by Nathan

It had been sixteen years since I last attended an Oz Convention, and now I’ve gone to two in the same year. The International Wizard of Oz Club‘s National Convention was in Philadelphia this year, so I could stay at … Continue reading →

New Lamps for Old

Posted on March 3, 2016 by Nathan

For an anniversary present, Beth bought us tickets to see Disney’s Aladdin on Broadway, and Tavie (a Disney and Broadway aficionado) went with us as well. The main attraction at the show is James Monroe Iglehart as the Genie; he … Continue reading →
