This year’s gift to Mom is our annual trip to Broadway for Mother’s Day, with tickets to see ‘Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York)’ and ‘The Lost Boys’ – and while I’m looking forward to both, it’s doubtful that we’ll match last year’s triumvirate of shows that blew our minds (‘Gypsy’, ‘The Portrait of Dorian Gray‘ and ‘Maybe Happy Ending‘). I have to remind myself that comparison is the thief of joy, so these will have their time to stand alone, and going in with no expectations usually makes for a merrier experience.
I know little to nothing of both of them, which makes this year’s selections a bit of a gamble – chosen mostly by occasional word of social media and a spattering of critic reviews. We shall see what we shall see…
