Bombay Dreams

[kingrat]

Saw Bombay Dreams at the 5th Avenue tonight. I was not impressed. The sound sucked. Most of the cast was not Indian. The Indians playing the low caste were from higher castes. The dancers were not in synch. Most of the songs weren't even remotely in Bollywood style. And the whole thing was far too self-referential.

It wasn't all bad, but definitely not worth the money.

The girls I asked to accompany me were right to skip out.

I have tickets to Edward Scissorhands and West Side Story at the end of the season. I hope those are better.

West Side Story

West Side Story was my favorite movie musical growing up. I've gotten a kick out of reading about your experiencies in retail. I spent a few years working at Frederick & Nelson as a sales person and in management. Tbat's where John and I met. Of course I was working for the money and experience and I think I started around #1.50 or something and hour and then when I became an assistant buyer I made $350 per month. Those were the days when the customer was always right and the staff bent over backward in customer service. The holidays are the most fun when all hell breaks loose.
