Anything Goes

2018 Northeast, Family, Ohio, Road Trip

Tonight was Opening Night of the 50th Season at the Porthouse Theater in Cuyahoga Falls OH and thanks to Emily we enjoyed front row seats for Anything Goes! It’s a delightful madcap story that first opened on Broadway in November 1934. It’s based on a book by Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse with music by Cole Porter, lots of fabulous dancing, and lavish costumes. We especially enjoyed Hope Harcourt’s blue feathered gown knowing that Emily hand stitched each of those feathers in place. We met up with Emily for a few minutes at the reception at the pavilion then took our leave so she could schmooze with other members of the production company as a good intern should.

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream.

London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
