The Supper/Concert Club Sunday December 2nd at 4:00PM - The Rockettes
We love watching this show every Christmas. It's got everything from the fabulous Radio City Rockettes to a live Nativity sequence and one of the best Santas around.
I can see why people go all the way to New York City to see this show.
The music is great, wonderful costumes, singing and choreography, all in the fantastic Radio City Music Hall. The video direction is excellent, with carefully thought out camera moves
and angles that enhance the experience.
The music is well recorded and has a great surround sound balance, so make sure you turn on the home theater speakers.
This production is so well done, we want to go to New York next year and see it in person!!

The Movie Group March 22nd 2018 at 1PM Shakespeare In Love
A neat movie, a great story, lots of laughs, a total transport to a time far removed, and terrific acting by a handful of first rate people. This is a movie I put on when I need to get away for awhile. It immediately draws me into Shakespeare's world and keeps me there, laughing and empathizing, for the duration. Working the lines of Romeo and Juliet into the dialog is tremendous. The final performance of the play, as we know that the protagonist is about to be carried off to America much against her will, is absolutely wonderful. The brief appearance of Judy Dench as Queen Elizabeth puts the final touch on the whole thing. Apart from the wonderful work of the actors (and what a host it is!) there is historical accuracy that is remarkable. This could have been a paste up of any "old timey" scenery. It was, in fact, extremely accurately done from start to finish. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes touching, sometimes sad, but always engaging...Just what movies are for!!
