2026 Fall season outing No.11 Last night with the spouse and our 8th grader to see Alan Sorkin's take on Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird at Huntington Theatre. Glad to see we weren't the only parents who took their middle-school aged child to see it.

2026 Fall season outing No.9 Last night on a date night with the kid for Touring Broadway show Operation Mincemeat! We both love it but wish they had turned down the volume a tad. It was ear-piercing at times. Can someone explain the meaning of the program book design ?

I was appalled by H+H's practice of allowing latecomers to be seated continuously throughout the first half. Dozens and dozens of people were late & they were led to their seats while the music was ongoing. It was extremely disruptive. I'm talking about 25+ mins of ppl walking in front of us.
