I am back home after the BEST SLUMBER PARTY EVER! Apparently this is the summer for regressing back to childhood - first Dave and Buster's and, this weekend, the first slumber party I have had as a "grown up" person. The reason for the occasion was the Sondheim in the Park celebration held in Millennium Park. This was Chicago's version of NYC's Wall to Wall Sondheim, with free concerts in the Jay Pritzker pavillion, and smaller ensembles all paying tribute to SJS. Sarah came in from NYC, and she and I crashed at Kari's place. Oh, it was fabulous. Concerts under the stars, pizza, beer, and lots of videos, featuring, of course, our Broadway Divas. My education continues....
Since it is so unbelievably !(#%@$** hot this weekend, we didn't spend a lot of time in Millennium Park - just the concerts in the JPP, which had performances by Judy Kaye, George Hearn, Liz Calloway, and Mary Elizabeth Mastrioantonio. Instead, we hit old orchard for a little movie watching, meals, hanging out, gossip, and chat.
Now, it is back to sweltering reality.... At least we have Gypsy to look forward to next month! I hope and pray that it is not a million degrees!
