I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

Stiill More Theatre Saturday - Once in a Lifetime, Again

We received complimentary tickets to Once in a Lifetime Again for review purposes. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own.


What: Once in a Lifetime, Again

Where: AMT Theater 
             354 W. 45th St.
             New York, NY

When: This event took place from August 5 through August 9, 2026
            as part of the Broadway Bound Theatre Festival.



The new musical Once in a Lifetime, Again is the story of a man trying to deal with his grief and move on and perhaps find love again after the death of his beloved wife. The show, while quite touching at times, is also filled with plenty of humor and a score loaded with decent but not especially memorable songs.   Much of the humor in this production came courtesy of the delightful Jenny Lee Stern who played a variety of roles each with a distinctly different accent, including the main character's various dates. Ms. Stern absolutely stole the show, and her performance was the most memotable thing about it. 



And that's our view. For more about this show, visit www.onceinalifetimeagain.com. For more about the Broadway Bound Theatre Festival, go to www.broadwayboundfest.com.

Tune in tomorrow for this week's Sunday Scoop.

Theater Thursday - Hungry Women

We received complimentary tickets to Hungry Women for review purposes. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own. 

What: Hungry Women

Where: SoHo Playhouse
             15 Vandam St.
             New York, NY

Who: Recommended for Ages 14 and Up

When: Through August 30, 2026



The play Hungry Women starts with a lot of promise. It has an extremely interesting premise. It imagines a world in which men allegedly no longer exist. Although, spoiler alert, that doesn't turn out to exactly be true. They are still there in some form, and ultimately the women are weak and cannot resist them. They seem ultimately headed to a world not all that different from our own, and in between there is cannibalism and ghostly rapes among other possibly triggering things.



It is billed as dark comedy and can be funny at times. However, it seems more dark than funny. Although it may be recommended for ages 14 and up, it seems more appropriate for older audiences. 



The cast does a good job with the material they are given. The always reliable Julia Lester is the standout of the four. However, ultimately the show is a disappointment. 



And that's our view. For more about Hungry Women or to purchase tickets, visit www.sohoplayhouse.com/see-a-show/hungry-women

Tune in Saturday for Still More Theater Saturday.

Where-To-Go Wednesday: Art in the Stairwells

We received complimentary tickets to the Museum of Arts and Design for review purposes. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own.

What: Art in the Stairwells

Where: Museum of Arts and Design
             2 Columbus Circle 
             New York, NY

Who: All ages 

In New York City's Museum of Arts & Design, you can even find exhibits in several of the museum's stairwells. These exhibits can be either permanent or temporary. They include an exhibit of goblets in various shapes, colors, and designs and "Seeing is Believing," a stained-glass design made up of a variety of different geometric images by artist Judith Schaechter. Both of these are permanent. 

Despite their location in the stairwells, these exhibits are still accessible to all. You don't actually have to walk up or down the stairs to see them. You just have to go out the door on each floor that leads to the stairs, and the exhibits are located at the top of the stairs. 


And that's our view. For more about the Museum of Arts and Design or to purchase tickets for a visit, go to madmuseum.org.

Tune in tomorrow for Theater Thursday.
