http://theatreeddys.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 20, 2014. NYC/Broadway trip - Oct 2014. We did not make it to New York for our normal July trip (due to Ed's then-chemo treatments), but we more than compensated in our recent journey during which we saw a record 16 shows in 9 days. As we have for several years, we are now sharing our takes on the shows; and we are hoping that you will all do the same when you make your way to NYC. OUR 2014 NEW YORK MUSICALS (that are still playing). 1 " On the Town. Ghosts of Gene Kelley and Frank Sinatr...

http://theatreeddys.blogspot.com/2015/03/breaking-code.html
Monday, March 16, 2015. With the recent Academy-nominated film. The Imitation Game,. The story of World War II Enigma code-breaker and computer pioneer Alan Turing is now much more widely known than when Hugh Whitemore’s 1986. His play, however, brings to the 2015 audience aspects of Turing’s life not told in the film and also feels more authentic and certainly intimate than does the film (and does not create the film’s fiction storylines like a supposed spy among the team of code-breakers).
