The Booth Theatre, where Cherry, Celia and Company are currently wowing audiences nightly, in the much lauded revival of "The Glass Menagerie," turns 100 years old, this evening, and I hope the company--crew members, techies, ushers, everyone--do something special in honor of the occasion, either before the performance, or after.
I had no idea this theater was reaching the century mark. I thought it had long before this. In fact, I thought most of the classic theaters--like the Shubert, Imperial, or Winter Garden, say, were well past the century mark.
You learn something new, every day, darlings!!!!!!!!! So I want to wish the Booth a Happy Birthday, and a wish for 100 years more. I still remember the first show I saw in it. It was the Goodspeed Opera revival of the Jerome Kern musical, "Very Good Eddie." Since the show opened there in December of 1975, my guess is I saw it sometime in 1976!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I was just a youth, darlings! Before I was using moisturizer! Now, THAT was a long time ago! Anyway, happy birthday, Booth. May you continue to house hits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that they continue to get produced, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
