opera.jpg Remember that scene from Moonstruck with Cher at the opera and how she’s near tears? And then later on when she’s outside in the dark dress with the dark make-up and the big poofy hair?

You, too, can have big poofy hair and be just like Cher!

The New York City Opera is a BIG DEAL. According to them, you’ll see Big Drama and Big Divas if you take advantage of the Big Deal.

If you’re 21 to 39, you can become a Big Deal member. The opera is trying to find a younger crowd to fill their houses. The advantage to becoming a member is that you get stuff for cheap and you get access to exclusive parties.

They offer two packages of different prices for memberships. If the opera is your thing or you’ve always been curious to see if it’s your thing, this Big Deal may be for you.

Plethora of Musicals

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

NYMF stands for New York Musical Theatre Festival. I don’t know what happened to the T so don’t ask. It’s really not important anyway. What is important is this: NYMF runs for three weeks only, and we’re in the last week!

The festival features over 30 new musicals throughout the midtown Theatre District. New playwrights present their works, chosen by leading industry people.

Tickets are on sale now. Plus there’s a closing party you may want to check out on October 7. So many choices, so little time.
