The actors were old and should not be portraying teenagers... The seating is very tight... and the lighting and sound effect was pathetic... The story line was decent, and it did have humorous lines about religion. I can't believe this has been on off broadway for so long... the only FYI, I have is not to waste your time or money...

That said, I am glad that I went with a friend who survived a full term (K-12) of Catholic school. He was laughing even harder than I was! Positive message, even tongue-in-cheek as it is, is a nice change when you are looking for a fun evening instead of an intellectual debate. Oh, and the venue is COOL. Something like seven stages with $4.00 sangria in the lobby :)

The space is really nothing special but the exhibit is arranged with obvious care and the work speaks volumes. Unlike many galleries, Not Fade Away had a mellow, unpretentious vibe and the man working there was extremely excited to talk about the work whether he saw dollar signs over our heads or not. You just cannot find that in most Chelsea spots. Go see this exhibit before April 4!

First of all, I created a new page because I am writing the Broadway Show of the "War Horse", not…read moresure why many others writing the show of War Horse under the Vivian Beaumont Theater. Vivian Beaumont Theater is a Theater, not the show. Well, what can I say, because I'm in the business, and is one of the lucky one, I often get free tickets for Broadway shows. When I first received the invitation, I saw "War Horse"? Never heard of it First, I'm not a big fan of war movie, Second, I'm not a big fan of the horse, but every Broadway Shows I been to, I never once get disappointed. First I went online and read a little bit what this show about, the name pretty much say it all, "War Horse", the horse that going to war, right? Well, that's not the point, the point is this show is more about just a horse going to the war, is more about, family relationship, friendship, and more importantly, what important to your child and knowing what he or she thinking Just like to clarify, if you are looking for singing and dancing, this is not the show for you, this show is not a musical I also like to clarify something else, Broadway Show is a live performance, all the performers are doing their best to create the most possible imagination for the audiences. The reasons why I brought this up is because I over heard the people sitting behind me was saying "this is stupid" when some performers brought out the birds eating the dead body That is NOT stupid, you have to use your imagination, this is during the war back in 1914, and dead bodies are every where in the middle of no where. But the only down side about that, I believe the performers should wear all black including covering up their head to blame in the dark, so it will showing more of the birds it self, instead of wearing brown color clothing Another down side is that, this is actually a family show, so you can bring your children's and make it a family night out, however, because this show is 2 1/2 long, and the show time started at 8pm, 2 1/2 hours later will be approx 10:45 by the time you come out the theater, and to many family with children's, by the time they get home, it will be approx 11:30 to midnight, so that's maybe some problem for some children's going to bed so late during weeknights Overall, I'm giving it 4 stars, due to what I explained above issue But it is a great show, will I go again? Probably not. But will I recommend to others? Yes, definitely, specially people with children's

War Horse is simply amazing. The story captures your attention immediately tugging at you…read moreheartstrings as you watch the story of a boy and his horse. I'll be honest, I had my doubts going into this one. I was blown away. The puppeteers are artists. You forget that you are watching figures on stage and not real horses. The story draws you in and the puppeteers make it seamless. With the use of the simplest of props with almost not background scenery the entire cast captivates the audience for almost 2 1/2 hours. The pace of the story moves so fast that time just flew by. I highly recommend this play if your looking for a heartwarming story!

We've joined the other couple of dozen people here for one purpose - the second annual Bacon Takedown in Brooklyn! Upon arrival, the place had a good amount of people. Once we've gotten on line the place was packed with bacon chompin' lovers left and right. There were twenty-one contestants, whom we've got to tried their homemade creations where bacon was the subject. There were both sweet and savory types of bacon-related samples to try. Here's the rundown of the contestants with their bacon recipes: Jenn Wanous - Baco-avo Goat-lato Jill Strominger - Pig Sty Pie Michael Stewart & Charlie Mirisola - Black Magic Bars Miranda Magagnini - Maccherochini Al Fume Emily Hanhan - Elvis Making Whoopie Pies Ben Mims - Devil's on Horseback Cake Anne Lind & Julia Smith - American Splendor Janine Logelfo & Bill Gagliardi - BBQ Bacon Loaded Meat Balls Becky MacGregor - Becky's Love Bites Robert & Johana Fernandez - Lucky's Wild Rice Krispies Tony Santoro - Candied Pigs in A Fig Cody Burke - Bacon Pot Stickers with Spicy Peanut Sauce Mike O'Neill & Kristine Schmidt - School Lunch Clay Ezell & Vadis Turner - Whiskey-Bacon Bread Pudding Alyson Mance & Rita Sallis -Almond-Bacon Brittle Jesse Forester - Divine Swine Adrian Ashby - Bacon Pecan Waffles with Apple Bacon Syrup Jordan Goldstein - Breakfast Terrine Matt Barber - Hudson Bay of Pigs Sandwich Erin Evenson - Bclyn Blackout Cake Henry Chan and Jocelyn Voo - Strawberry Black Pepper Bacon Donut Holes There were so many samples to try from that I didn't know which one to vote for. But in the end I really liked the Bacon Pot Stickers with Spicy Peanut Sauce, Maccherochini Al Fume and the Almond-Bacon Brittle. Some samples I've tried were really good and creative I felt and some were really creative, but not to my liking. I only went around once sampling from 21 different contestants and I already gotten full from it all haha. As for Hungry Boy, he had room for seconds. Then again it's Hungry Boy, he will always make room for more. A total of 300 lbs of Hormel Black Label Bacon was used for this takedown. Pretty amazing for an event that lasted roughly about 2 hours long. So when it came to voting, there was a vote from the judges and the attendees. People's Choice: 1st Place: Jenn Wanous - Baco-avo Goat-lato 2nd Place: Cody Burke - Bacon Pot Stickers with Spicy Peanut Sauce 3rd Place: Becky MacGregor - Becky's Love Bites Judge's Choice: 1st Place: Mike O'Neill and Kristine Schmidt - School Lunch 2nd Place: Matt Barber - Hudson Bay of Pigs Sandwich 3rd Place: Jordan Goldstein - Breakfast Terrine The winners all received a one-year supply or six-month supply of Hormel® Black Label® bacon, Anolon cookware, Microplane graters and Wusthof knives. Pretty neat. And as for the attendees, they were able to take home any leftover bacon samples, while supplies last. That was pretty awesome. Also shout out to Albert W. and Elaine M., whom we've bumped into at this event! =)
