Xana-snooze
Last Friday, Francis and I saw Xanadu on broadway. It was a last minute decision since the show was closing on Sunday. Francis really (emphasize REALLY) wanted to see it. The show was a satirical take on the movie Xanadu and Clash of the Titans. The show was silly fun for 1.5 hours and there was no intermission. Maybe I was exhausted that night but I fell asleep midway through the show. I woke up when the audience was applauding to the kiss between the leads. I mentioned this to a friend who saw it twice and the same thing happened to her. Thankfully, the last half hour was bearable and no nap was needed. After the show we headed to the line outside the stage door to the theatre. Francis was dying to meet the lead actress, Keri Buttler. Apparently, he was on the stagecrew at Xaverian High School in Brooklyn, NY and she was the lead in all their shows. There is a picture of her in his yearbook. As each cast member came out, they were very friendly and signed playbills and had their pictures taken with people on line. Eventually, Francis was able to meet Keri Buttler and had his picture take with her. She remembered him being on stagecrew but that was it. All in all, it made for an interesting night.
