Our next Broadway outing is scheduled for May 14th at 7:00: Ain’t Too Proud To Beg, the Life and Times of the Temptations. We have a few dozen orchestra tickets at $140 each. Email me to save your spot…I have added the show summary below and a you tube video of the rehearsal. I cannot wait to see it!!!!
Ain’t Too Proud follows The Temptations’ extraordinary journey from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. With their signature dance moves and unmistakable harmonies, they rose to the top of the charts creating an amazing 42 Top Ten Hits with 14 reaching number one. Through friendship and betrayal amid the civil unrest that tore America apart, their moving and personal story still resonates five decades later.
Ain’t Too Proud features an iconic score made up of The Temptations’ legendary songs including “My Girl,” “Just My Imagination” and “Papa Was a Rolling Stone.” The creative team includes Robert Brill (scenic design), Paul Tazewell (costume design), Howell Binkley (lighting design), Steve Canyon Kennedy (sound design) and Peter Nigrini (projection design). Orchestrations are by Harold Wheeler with music direction and arrangements by Kenny Seymour. – Broadway.com

Over the weekend I went to see the Kips Bay Palm Beach Show House. I have gone to the Kip Bay Show House in NYC for the past 5 years and when the second outpost opened in Palm Beach, it was on my list to eventually get there. I missed last year’s so I am so glad that the stars aligned and I was able to visit the house while I was in Florida for a quick get a away with my book club girls!!!! We all loved the decor. Every room was so cherry and bright. Such perfect choices for a Florida home. It was very hard to choose my favorite room but I do think that I narrowed it down for you!!!! If you are in the Palm Beach area, def stop by. It closes on Feb 20th!!!
Over the weekend, a friend recommended this week’s book choice to me. I have read many reviews and such positive comments on The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris. Here is the story:
