So recently I went to a couple Broadway shows and a spoken word show. Here’s the skinny:

13

Great show! It’s about this hip New York teenager who moves to Appleton, Indiana due to his parents’ divorce and the interactions he has with his peers in high school. Nothing deep in terms of plot, but flawless performance by an all-teen cast. Go see it.

A Tale of Two Cities

Knew the story from the torn, dog-eared Charles Dickens classic I had to endure in middle school. Hence the reason I was unmoved by Sydney Carton’s (James Barbour)  heart-wrenching act of ultimate sacrifice (wanna know more? download the (e)book at Project Gutenberg) when everyone around me were sobbing like a 5-year old lost in the city.

The show was an  effervescent, skeletal adaptation of Dickens’ epic novel of unrequited love, bloody revolution and sacrifice. Oh, and there is at least three movie adaptations, so plenty of choices there for you. I’d read the book, though, at least before going to see the show.

Recountdown Tour: Celebrating the End of the Bush Era (Henry Rollins spoken word)

Went to see the Rollins himself at The Town Hall. After 2 hours and 45 minutes of non-stop spoken word combat with Hank hopping from one topic to the next like a kangaroo on speed, you mentally reaffirm the fact that Rollins is the man. The intensity with which he delivers his shows is amazing.
