We took the girls to NY to see Xanadu the musical (seriously) this weekend. What a hoot (yeah, I know, I'm old - we use words like hoot). Anyone who's around 40-ish would love it. It's just such a great bashing of the 80's (in an affection way). From Olivia Newton John's accent and breathy singing to leg warmers to Clash of the Titans, everything was fair game. And the acting, singing, and dancing were superb. It's a small theater with an intimate feel, which adds to the you're-in-on-the-joke attitude of the show. It couldn't have been more fun. And just as important, we managed to park for $14! Hey, don't knock the enthusiasm. You try to park an SUV in a safe location for under $50 for the day.
I'm still working on my story for my daughter - she keeps me at it because she asks for updates almost every day. I'm getting a bit scared because I think this might actually be good.

- I'd admit to going through mid-life crisis, but that would be admitting I'm not immortal. If it's a show that won't last through a season, I probably watch it. If it's horror tinged, I've probably read it.

Okay, I'm so jealous that you're so close to the city! Lucky, lucky you! Xanadu sounds like a blast... I loved the movie (even though most critics hated it) and I'm sure it's fun as a stage production.
And very cool for you and the writing thing. Maybe you've found your calling in Young Adult/Teen fiction??? Just a thought... =)
