And you have to order tickets on Ticketmaster! When I worked at Tufts I was inches from the theater district, so I could just saunter up to the box office and buy tickets, no extra fees, surcharges, service fees.....Now it's impossible. It's infuriating. 

Oh, see? Amber is a saint. She spends her whole life caring for OTHERS. She is the image of selflessness. 

Yup. Honestly ticketmaster us such a racket. I started seeing our college productions because they were so much cheaper. But some of them were slightly weird.

Okay, with just 10 minutes left, in case y'all don't return for next week, I need to say thanks. My Mom used to watch the show and we'd debrief on Thursdays as I drove to work.  She LOVED Dr. Now and

I had to resize this thing because it was huge.  Here is the new man!  He has abs and likes to give massages and compliments.

Okay, my daughter just made her first comment (to Abi): "You don't need to rest!  Your whole life is rest!"  She's a Pounder in training, folks!  I'm so proud.

The local university has an excellent drama department and I've seen some great shows there! AND I'm a senior, so the cheap tickets are even cheaper!

Boston's Shakespeare Company has understudies performing for free in the summer, usually shortened Shakespeare plays.  I saw a comedy in 2022 that I liked, but last year I saw Julius Caesar, and it was so inappropriately hilarious when a teenage girl in pigtails was trying to deliver the monologue full of high pathos and almost crossing into ultrasound in her excitement...  I will go again this summer!  :)  There are a lot of small amateur and semi-professional theater companies in Massachusetts, some are pretty decent, some are... interesting.  I should branch out more...

I didn't particularly care for Hamilton either, and most of my friends were underwhelmed compared to the hype as well...  The vibe also didn't work for me, the whole premise of the show, and I didn't connect with the music, so overall I say it was me connecting with the zeitgeist, so it was still worth it. 

I absolutely loved Hamilton!  For me, it more than lived up to the hype.  I have the music on my phone and I have many favorite songs.

Do you mean Actor's Shakespeare Project? I used to work with Paula Plum, years ago, and I dated her brother. 

The Greater Boston Stage in Stoneham is very good, and the tickets are cheap. Saw "All Is Calm" last winter and we all bawled our eyes out.

A note about the clothes - it's extremely difficult to find plus sized clothing that isnt  made with some spandex or thin synthetic material, especially shirts.  You can keep going up sizes and they'll get longer, but still stick tight against your body. That orange shirt was a Prime example. 

Agreed! Plus sizes are a minefield. The fabric and workmanship is usually awful, and the clothes frumpy. I love eshakti.com, you can customize to your measurements and pick length, sleeve, neckline style, the fabrics are good and they're well made and affordable.

Stoneham is way out of the way for me but I will keep that in mind!

I just googled and the official name is Apprentice Rep Company.  This summer it will be Two Noble Kinsmen and Richard II.  Plus, of course, the Winter's Tale as the big show on Boston Commons.

I love that Nathan is having a better relationship with his daughter.   I love that he's determined to climb to the top of the wall. 

I'm worried about Amber.   She seems very depressed to me.  And here finally admitting abuse is so brave.   However, does she really fear having a sexual relationship, or does she think everything will change and she won't be safe?  

I hate that so many of the poundticipants have been abused.  

 They're both in the front seat of their van!  

Nathan's weigh in -272 then, now 251.  

Amber's weigh in-was 456, this month 448, down 8 lbs.   At least she's not wearing that shirt with the heart on it again.   

I'm hoping that Nathan isn't going to be like Allen of Vianey and Allen, where he qualified for skin removal, and she pitched a fit, so he didn't have it. (R.I.P. Vianey). 

I think Dr. Now is going to keep trying with Amber, because he realizes that if Amber is kicked out, Nathan probably will be forced to choose between his wife, and his health.

I bought 2 formal gowns on eshakti. They are gorgeous. I have an order in for 2 outfits for events in the fall. They are slow so even though they say a few weeks, its more like a few months. I bought a dress off the rack and by the time I had it tailored it doubled the price. Eshakti customs it for you for a pittance.

Okay, did either of you Boston theater-goers see Thirst at Lyric Stage? It's the only one I meant to see this year and I missed it. Wonder if it was good!
