Last night, we went with the fab Markmiller couple and enjoyed a night of entertainment. We saw 9 to 5. It’s a new musical premiering in LA, but then moving on to Broadway. We had special interest in seeing the show, because hubby’s friend from high school, Stephanie J. Block, was starring in it. We first saw her perform as Elphaba. Brandon couldn’t believe his eyes when he opened that playbill! We then got to see her in New York last year while we were there celebrating our 10th anniversary. She was singing at Birdland. This time, we got to enjoy a GREAT show, and a visit backstage. Too cool!
The show was very funny. Jenny and I had some great belly laughs! I have a head ache today – maybe from that hard laughing that took place. Oh, and we took a limo. Not on purpose. We went to the restaurant knowing they had a shuttle service to the theater. As we exited the restaurant looking for our shuttle van, Rodney steps out of a black stretch limo and ushers us inside. So, we arrived in style.
And what would be a night of entertainment without star spotting. Other than the obvious – Stephanie – while we were hanging out in her dressing room with her dog (too cute!), our hostess was summoned out into the hallway to say a quick hello to Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell.
It was so neat to see this amazing woman singing and performing on stage (wonderfully I might add), and then visit with her backstage as a humble, cheerful and gracious friend. Geesh, what a gal!
