I'm staying in town this holiday season, and thought it would be a great opportunity to check out some plays and musicals. What are your suggestions? |
 |
I recommend the following:
August: Osage County: This dark yet comic play details the disappearance of a father and his family's response. The New York Times said it was the most exciting new American play that Broadway has seen in years. We simply say that the cast - and especially Deanna Dunagan as the family matriarch - reminded us about the "fun" in "dysfunction."

Shrek: In the tradition of Spamalot and the Producers, the Shrek movie has reinvented itself as a Broadway musical. Just like its predecessors, it does so delightfully, retaining elements of the movie while incorporating great new songs and plot twists. Shrek promises to be the perfect show for you and your children.
Purchase tickets here.
Thirteen: Thirteen will take you back to the agonies and ecstasies of junior high. The kids in this charming show have the same worries as every thirteen year old - navigating cliques, starting to date, and dealing with the onset of adulthood. Their trials and triumphs combine to make a very sweet and upbeat musical.
Purchase tickets here.
Sessions: Sessions is one of our best kept secrets. This off-Broadway show has on-Broadway music and production value! Sessions traces the story of a therapist as he attempts to help his patients through individual and group sessions.

Any recommendations for a 50th birthday gift for a man who has everything? |

I highly recommend the Kindle . This amazing wireless reading device allows you to upload more than 180,000 books directly to the screen. It will entertain him so much more than the newspaper on his commute, and makes old fashioned books seem so trendy again. You can buy it here.
In addition, I have the following suggestions:
Cheese tasting gift certificate for four people from Murray's cheese - They come to your home and it is a wonderful experience. Contact Taylor at taylor@murrayscheese.com. For more information, www.murrayscheese.com
A wine tasting for four...Italian Wine Merchants offers a great private tasting as well. Contact www.italianwinemerchant.com.
A gift certificate for The Art of Shaving with two locations in NYC. Go to www.theartofshaving.com. |

I just returned from summer vacation and my apartment is very disorganized. Can you recommend someone who makes home visits to declutter? |
