It was wonderful, and I've heard that Tim Curry was sick while they were here and that his role has gotten more prominent since NY. I can't wait to hear what you think of it. I was so amazed at what a great job they did, so many scenes from the movie that you just think wouldn't be possible on stage.Sandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8367057002391131704.post-74701487053566601332005-04-06T08:58:58.763-04:002005-04-06T08:58:58.763-04:00Oooh...

Chelsea market has the best food and cute markets where you can buy the most unusual things. Down off Rector street near ground zero is Century 21, a discount store for the best designer clothing.
