Busy week--the season is in full swing! Went to see Buyers and Cellars at 1812 Theater, a comedy about a gay man hired to maintain a cellar full of stuff that, in the play Barbra Streisand has bought and set up as a mall in her basement, the relationship he strikes up with Streisand in her faux mall, and how that effects his personal relationship at home. There were a lot of laugh-lines, but the play also had a lot of heart. It was a great antidote to the news.
Also saw The Haydn Seven Last Words. The sermonizing before the music started was a bit overwrought and head-scratchy, given that we were at the Kimmel Center and not a Church, and it is November and nowhere near Easter Week, but the music was fine, so whevs. I didn't review it, but this one from Philly.com pretty much covers it.
