Much Ado

I just had an amazing time tonight. Had an impromptu invite to Shakespeare in the Park. It was Much Ado About Nothing, one of my favorite plays! The cast was basically Law and Order meets NYPD Blue. Sam Waterston played Leonato, his daughter Elizabeth as his daughter Hero, Jimmy Smits (who stole the show) as Benedick, Kristen Johnston (3rd Rock from the Sun) as a wonderful Beatrice, Dominic Chianese (Uncle Junior from the Sopranos) as a badgery Antonio, and the list goes on and on! Also had dinner at Elephant, a swank Thai-French fusion restaurant in the LES. Incredible food, but horrible rude staff. I thought I'd spend the night staring at boxes, so this was all a great surprise.

Ok, must go to bed. Moving in the morning.
