Laurie saw The Drowsy Chaperone at the Fox last night featuring Georgia Engel (Georgette on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and Robert’s Mother-in-Law, Pat, on “Everybody Loves Raymond”). She enjoyed it and told us about the special $25 Orchestra seats – learn more here.

I leave you with something terrifying! (He’s not here, I’m filling up space!)
The JoY was the over-exposed Jerry Seinfeld on Halloween. The Fab4 was a Fab6 and had a Halloween theme: “Devil in Her Heart,” “Mr. Moonlight,” “I’m Looking Through You,” “Baby’s in Black,” “I am the Walrus” & “Savoy Truffle.” Finally, the Vault was Donovan’s “Season of the Witch.”
