I must say that "Blithe Spirit" was one of the most extraordinary performances I have ever seen on Broadway. Having gone to see it for the sole purpose of seeing Angela Lansbury on stage, I was pleasantly surprised when each of the other cast members emulated her stage abilities. Ms. Lansbury's dances when she goes into her trance are the highlight of her performance; they are so hysterical! Anybody who desires a good laugh should go to the Shubert Theatre and enjoy the wondrousness that is "Blithe Spirit"!

Saw Blithe on 3/22 on a whim. Whim turned into whimisy and away it went. Angela Lansbury, as beloved as ever, was a must watch. Hard to believe an 83-yr-old can flit, flutter and flap that effectively! She was eye candy, especially in her fantastical costumes.

Rupert Everett simply oozes debonairre. I can't believe he's never done Broadway before.

The wives ramp up the cattiness. Although it's astounding to note that Ebersole has years on Everett and Attkinson. She must have a painting in the attic because she looked stunning! And you just HAVE to watch the maid whenever she races by.

At a time when there's so much doom and gloom in the world, Blithe Spirits is just the ticket to fanciful, farcical relief. Do go see it!

Daily Horoscope for January 8

Aquarius

The atmosphere in the office is stressful. Learn to divide time in a planned and phased manner. Beware of starting a lot of new things but not having the time to finish any of them. Mental overload will burn your busy and chaotic schedules and health problems may crop up all of a sudden. If you party with friends this evening, don't make it too late.
