3 August NYC: Family at the BBQ, Dinner at Burger and Lobster and the Show "& Juliet"

 


Family BBQ at Virgil's with Dave and Kristine and Kari and Eric.  Then is was back to the second floor of the Casablanca to catch up and tell stories. Laura, Lily and Susan all went down to the 9-11 memorial and museum.  The weather turned sour and by early evening it was raining. We were very pleased that we only had to walk across the street for the dinner and the "& Juliet" show.  There was a problem mid show and the stage manager had to come out three times to update the audience.  They were looking at a chandelier that was not retracting.  When they fixed it and re-started the actor playing May had been replaced with their understudy.  Was there an injury?  Further investigation shows that the actor was indeed injured due to operator error and will have to take a break from the show
