Broadway


Two weeks ago I had the opportunity see Cherry Jones in Doubt. I had been wanting to see this play since I first heard about it when Cherry won the ’05 Tony Award for Best Actress. Two weeks later, I was standing in New York City, across from the Walter Kerr theatre where the show had just moved its run longing to go inside and see the show. One year and five months later I was sitting in the Ahmanson Theatre fulfilling my dream. Cherry absolutely stole the show and dazzled the audience. And, yes, she deserved the Tony. Given that this was my first “Broadway” play (naturally, on it’s off Broadway tour, but it originated there nonetheless) it wet my appetite to experience more in the way of the arts: theatre, ballet, symphonies…
