"Shakin' At The Toby Inn"

So, the other day, after a two hour drive back from Harrisonburg, where I helped my sister move back to college for her sophomore year, I headed out for the hour and a half rush hour drive up to Baltimore to see a little Grease at Toby's. Haven dwellers, let me tell you, it was worth it. If you didn't get a chance to see this show, you missed a treat. Oh, and Mark says you are rude if you didn't see it.

First of all let me say, what really stuck out about the show was how well it was cast. I was impressed with everyone.

I also thought the updates to the show worked. I asked Mark if he had a "gospel consultant" for the "Beauty School Dropout" number, because it rocked the heavens with a new soulful arrangement. And "Your The One That I Want" was a fun change from the usual "All Shook Up" (although I'm a big fan of "All Shook Up").

Stand outs for me included Jamie Eaker as Patty, Jesse Palmer as Frenchy, Tamarin Ythier . . . I mean Lawler as Jan, and Darren McDonnell as Vince (thanks for the shout out). And of course Tina kicked but on ". . .Worse Things. . ."

Thanks to Mark and the whole cast for a very entertaining evening.
