Just had the great honor of seeing the magnificent Dianne Wiest in Happy Days @CTGLA. That Beckett guy is funny. And heartbreaking.

Dianne Wiest is luminous, heartbreaking and laugh out loud funny in @CTGLA production of #HappyDays. Her performance is so rich and perfect, the play sings and the audience is mesmerized. It’s a gift to us all.

Are you a fan of musicals? William Finn's "Falsettos" is back, visiting L.A. on national tour. It's a show that puts the everyday into song - every word of it. The disagreements, the negotiations, the loving. #LAThtr #FalsettosBWay #LATimes #CTGLA
