TT: Off we go

Mrs. T and I are off to Washington, D.C., to see Mary Zimmerman’s new production of Leonard Bernstein’s Candide, one of the all-time great problem shows (brilliant score, impossible book). Zimmerman’s revival, which originated in Chicago earlier this season, is an attempt to solve the show’s underlying conceptual problems without compromising the integrity of Bernstein’s music. Does it succeed? I’ve heard varying reports from Chicago, so I want to see for myself.
Mrs. T and I will be spending the night in Washington and returning to New York on Wednesday for further adventures in our new apartment, which is gradually starting to look less like a warehouse and more like a residence. More as it happens!
