Saw "End of the Rainbow" last night and loved it. I wouldn't say the book was "terrible." It had some slightly weak spots--but overall a very good show.

Everyone has opinions ... and we did NOT like Peter and the Star Catcher. Well done--but not our cup of tea.

The Book of Mormon lived up to every bit of the hype. We loved every minute.

Really enjoyed War Horse, but I think my expectations were too high. I'd give it a 9 out of ten -- but the puppetry gets 1000% and I'd highly recommend it.

If you are going to be at Lincoln Center anyway, see the great Noel Coward exhibit at the Library for the Performing Arts.

I would recommend The Addams Family, or to see Wicked again. They are both excellent musicals, and we got front row seats to them both as well!

Just saw Evita tonight, it was fantastic. Ricky Martin is absolutely wonderful.

Re musicals: seeing Nice Work If You Can Get it w/Matthew Broderick & Kelli O'Hara this week. Anything Goes was great so do keep that on your list.

The decisions were made and we are back home. I wish we'd had time to see 2 or 3 more plays, but that will give us an excuse to go back.

I'll share my observations about the shows that we saw and a trip report as soon as I can get one written.

Thank you so much for all the help and comments. It was a wonderful trip.
