We saw &quot;Arsenic and Old Lace&quot; during March Break and really liked it. Michael Richards (Kramer in Seinfield) was funny and the actresses who played the sisters were delightful!<BR><BR>We also liked &quot;We Will Rock You&quot;, especially since we are fans of Queen's music. It's quite witty and you do have to stay sharp in order to get all the little &quot;in-jokes&quot;.<BR><BR>&quot;Love Labour's Lost&quot; was, for us, a miss: largely because of being set in the 1st World War. In addition, the acting was not particularly noteworthy.<BR><BR>What we should have seen instead: &quot;Stones In His Pockets&quot;. Another couple had seen it while we were there and had very much liked it. We were sorry to have run out of available time to see it as well.<BR>

<BR>You have a once in a life time opportunity to see the great Ian McKellen in August Strindberg's &quot;Dance of Death&quot; at the Lyric Theater. This production was seen on Broadway when it starred Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren.<BR><BR>We got good stall tickets for around 60 pounds.

Whoa. I hope you meant that you got them for 60 pounds for two tickets, not each. Otherwise you paid nearly double for the tickets. While it is a show I'd love to see, paying 60 pounds each would be outrageous and also totally unnecessary.

My memory was a bit faulty. Two tickets came to 75 pounds, handling charges brought the total to 81 pounds (about 63 US dollars for each ... but I would pay double that to see Ian McKellen)
