She loved Jersey Boys too
We overheard this exchange between JHS school chums Sara Sevey and Kathy Skadsberg. Thought you might like to listen in too. TB
Good Morning Sara,
Yes, we just saw Jersey Boys last week. It was fantastic. Some funny notes: while crossing Hennepin to get to Solera for a quick bite before the show, we were right behind Carol Oksness and Sheri Platto :-) Small world. They were heading to Solera too. We chatted a couple of minutes but it was loud and crowded so except for hi, etc. couldn't get much real talking in.
Also..... I have NEVER seen so many OLD people in one spot in my life....and only about 20 percent MEN and the rest WOMEN..
I thought maybe we stumbled into an AARP convention or GRAY PANTHER meeting. But then the lights dimmed and the show was so much fun.
Intermission brought the longest ladies room lines I have ever experienced but I guess that goes with the group.
The show ended and we walked out the side door, were crossing the side street and there were about 20 "young people" leaning up against a building , taking a smoke break and one lovely said "where the hell are all these old people coming from?" She raised her little camera above her head and took a picture of the masses exiting the Orpheum. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
We were a little afraid of all those seniors on the road at once, so we headed to Palomino for an apres drink. Of course, the windows overlook the corner which was now flooded with seniors leaving the show. A couple of the cast members came in, so it gave us something else to stare at It was a HOOT!
I avoided all mirrors , so just could not relate to the crowd.
Long story short, it was a great show and I would see it again and again!
Hitting the links in Alex this summer?
