Tomorrow I fly to New York to sample the Broadway season, which accelerated in April just before the Tony Awards deadline. I’ll be seeing eight shows in six days, including new musicals based on bast-selling novels that became popular movies and now stage shows. Among them are The Notebook, The Great GatsbyThe Outsiders. So I’ll be writing brief impressions in postcard form, followed by lengthier reviews when I return to Florida. Sounds like a busy week ahead, all for your edification.

P.S. Tuesday night I begin my theater splurge with the well-reviewed Water for Elephants, based on Sara Gruen’s novel and the 2011 movie that starred Robert Pattinson. Stay tuned.
