Luck Be A Lady Tonight…

I have that song stuck in my head. I woke up two or three times last night with it blaring between my ears like a radio stuck between mono and hi-fi stereo*. Before I went to bed it was mixed in with a medley of Sue Me, Sit Down You’re Rocking The Boat, and Bushel And A Peck.

Guys & Dolls.

The Spouse Thingy and I, along with his parents, went to see The Boy in Guys & Dolls yesterday. It was a blast…the theater—small venue—was nice, and the production was pretty freaking good. I was blown away by the choreography (done by Fae Salfiti; keep her in mind, ’cause someday she’s gonna be famous) and hey! My kid can dance! And he looks pretty spiffy in a 50’s style suit and hat.

It was a real kick for the Spouse Thingy; in high school he was in the drama department’s production of Guys & Dolls as one of the gamblers. All the music came back to him as we watched; this version had slightly better scenery and production value, but it’s something he can connect with. I remember seeing it a couple of times, and for sure I never saw him get airborne the way the Boy does in this production!

The show ends its run next Sunday, and I’m going again. The Spouse Thingy probably will, too, if he can drag himself out of bed in time (he works night shift the night before. And that night.) Maybe if I hear the score enough, I can knock it out of my head…

If you don’t get that, you are far too young…
