The Advantages of Floating in the Middle of the Sea. A lovely title, and of the very first song in Stephen Sondheim's Pacific Overtures -- which Bill-the-Honeybear and I will be seeing tonight. Of course, this means we have to be at the theatre by 7:00 when the show starts (not 8:00 like most other shows). I'm hoping that three hours will be enough time to get from the house to the theatre by car in light rain. I saw the original Broadway production, so I'm very interested in seeing how an Asian director interprets this work. Bill is a Sondheim fan, so I'm betting he'll be in rapturous awe for the evening.
About Me
- Allen
- Somerville, New Jersey, United States
- 12/13/1951 (you should be able to figure out age and Zodiacal sign from that). Jersey boy, born and bred: Spotswood, South River (class of 1969), West Orange, Randolph, Boonton, and now Somerville. Four year stint in East Lansing, MI (Michigan State University, BS Math '73) in between South River and West Orange. Out and proud, partnered since 10/10/99 to Bill-the-Honeybear (aka Bill Realman Stella). One (younger) sister, Penny Yanachek, who lives in Florida. Plus an entire cast of people who, for reasons passing strange, have taken me into their lives. Currently unemployed (but looking to change that); certified as an event planner by Raritan Valley Community College. Still active in GAAMC and Mensa. Editing Challenge, newsletter of the Gay Activist Alliance in Morris County, is for my own satisfaction. Theatre, especially Broadway or West End, is for fun.
