"Here Lies Jenny" Starring Bebe Neuwirth

Something drew me to the theatre 1/2-price ticket booth in Union Square this morning, I looked at the list of shows and "Here Lies Jenny" starring "Cheers" and Tony Award winning "Chicago" Bebe Neuwirth jumped out at me. The next thing I knew I was standing in line fishing out my debit card to buy me a ticket for tonight's show at 8. After a full day of up and ups, I trotted down to the Post Street Theatre tonight, and to my pleasant surprise, my seat was 2nd row center in a full theatre, no idea what the plot was about, no expectations, simply open to the experience of theatre.

Bebe was wonderful along with the rest of the production's charismatic cast - you could see her stage experience come through, singing with such emotion and expression in her eyes so unexpected from the kind of character we are so used to seeing her play, dancing to her heart's content with such ballerina grace to choreography that was edgy but so poignant - loved it, loved it - as we all clapped and sighed with the satisfaction of witnessing great theatre. Follow your whims and joys ~ you just never know where they'll take you, the beauty of it all.
