Sardi's and Bye Bye Birdie - 11/21

Tonight I went out to Sardi’s for dinner with Grad and Randall (author of the reading I saw earlier in the week – Shadows). They were very surprised when we got there at 6:00 and it was already busy. Apparently in recent years there had been a decline in dining there but it looks like it has turned around. We sat at the bar for awhile and had some drinks while enjoying the provided cheese spread and crackers – yesssss!! We were a little rushed for dinner but it was wonderful – I had an extremely tasty roast chicken breast. We had an appetizer plate as well but I’m the world’s pickiest eater so I had to stick to the salami. Boring, I know, but I can’t help it! I just never outgrew the 5 year old’s tastebuds. What can I say? After dinner we went to see Bye Bye Birdie.The show was fun – it was rather odd though to see actual teenagers playing the teenagers!It wasn’t what my ear expected to hear so it was hard to get used to but I’m not sure if I think that’s good or bad. Just different. The show had great energy but I didn’t love the lead actors. But overall, a very enjoyable evening. I just love being here and seeing all of this theatre - so energizing!
