Happy 34th!

34 years ago today - To celebrate, we went to dinner outdoors at the Music Center - I loved watching the fountains and the people while we waited (and waited) for our dinner - and then to see the new play, "9 to 5, The Musical" at the Ahmanson Theatre. When we bought the tickets we didn't realize this was the opening weekend AND the world premiere.
The play is GREAT. Music and lyrics by Dolly Parton, who has a wicked sense of humor; starring Allison Janney (I loved her in The West Wing), Stephanie Block and Megan Hilty (both of whom had starring roles in Wicked, one of the great musicals of all time. IMHO, of course.) Lots of humor, visual, verbal and musical, including a guy in a hospital gown with his bare backside hanging out and a fantasy sequence using the happy, chirpy birds from Disney's Cinderella. Trust me, it was funny.

Great evening, great company. Can't see what's in store for the next 34.
