Next up to Times Square for more ticket collections.
First show of the night - Seth's Chatterbox at Don't Tell Mama - on at six o-clock every Thursday - his guest was an 81 yr old called Richard Seff promoting his book "Supporting Player: My Life Upon The Wicked Stage - a great hour of anecdotes and reminiscences about his time in the theatre - both as an actor and agent - he was the one who discovered Chita Rivera! - could have listened to him all night - a charming man and Seth Rudetsky is a hoot! Don't Tell Mama's is a charming venue full of character.
Found a food hall on corner of 46th and 8th - great split pea and bacon soup for $5! - just the thing as the temperature had dropped drastically! A short walk to the Eugene O'Neill for our next engagement - a new play - still in previews - by Moises Kaufman (he wrote The Laramie Project) - starring a 71 yr old Jane Fonda in her first Broadway role in 46 years! - she looks fantastic! - a fascinating play about a musicologist with a terminal disease (Fonda) researching Beethoven's Diabelli Variations - the play jumps between the present and the time of Beethoven in Bonn and there is a live pianist just off stage who plays most of the variations during the evening - quite mesmerising - it will be interesting to read the reviews when it opens on March 9 - bitterly cold when we leave the theatre - 23 degrees F!!!
