Bring it On the Musical

We went to the Beck Center to see Bring it On the Musical this past Sunday.  I cringed when it started because all of the sportsball.   I was afraid of it being vapid.   Honestly, it's a wonderful musical with music and lyrics by Lin Manuel Miranda of Hamilton fame.   It bears only a superficial resemblance to the movie in uniform colors and title.  With only one plot point I find objectionable, I give it an B+.  

Ken Ludwig's Baskerville

We were at Playhouse Square last night and saw Ken Ludwig's Baskerville.  That was amazingly fun!  5 actors who play over 40 parts with various costumes, hairpieces, and quick changes.  Only Holmes and Watson do not have other roles.   Quick changes happen so far, in seconds.  And the clothing isn't cheap looking either.  Everything looks convincingly Victorian!   There are 4 dressers to assist with the changes.  This was funny and smart, as well as a delight to watch.  Go see it!

Try the World: Greece

Another box from Try The World: Greece!   We are nearly caught up.  Just a little bit of the Italian box to go and then the Holiday Box.   Thank goodness most of these products are shelf stable!

 We have breadsticks with olives.

 This one is a sheep milk pasta.

 Almond cookies.  We've gotten at least two types from other countries.

 Tzatziki spices.

 A dessert sesame seed bar.

 Those grape leave wraps.

 Pasta sauce.

And finally, our first bottle of olive oil in a while.  This one is rosemary infused.
