We had about an inch of snow a couple of days ago along with a cold snap. The snow is mostly gone now and it’s supposed to warm up this coming week.
We had a grackle at the feeder yesterday, the first one of the spring. The robins are back and scurrying around the yard.
Judy and I went to School of Rock last night on B’way. It’s a show for teens, basically, who filled the audience, with parents and g-parents in tow. The show is incredibly loud. I was expecting the worst, but actually enjoyed it. The kid performers are great, and Alex Brightman, as Dewey, is on stage the whole show running, jumping, performing and expending prodigious amounts of energy. There is little clever dialogue and no plot surprises. There is plenty of music, including a very nice "Amazing Grace" and a sample of the Queen of the Night's aria from The Magic Flute.
The big surprise for me was that the book is by Julian Fellowes, who is the executive producer of Downton Abbey, which is somewhere on the opposite end of some spectrum.
We were early for the curtain. It was a sellout, packed with teens and parents and/or g-parents, except for us.
The insides of the old theaters are beautiful where the art work isn't obscured by light and sound equipment.
