Smokey Joe's Cafe

We are season ticket holders at the La Mirada Theater for Performing Arts. Tonight Connie and I saw Smokey Joe's Cafe. It was so cool. I thought we were going to see a comedy. Then, upon getting there, it appeared we were going to see a musical. Turned out there wasn't any acting. It was a tribute to the music of the 50's and 60's. Many of my favorites. The cast of singers were superb. One of the best nights I've ever spent in the theater.

McCoy/Rigby produce the season's shows and Tom McCoy has an incredible talent for finding talent. He never ceases to amaze me each year in what he chooses for us to experience. Catch this show if you can. It's play for several more days.

I don't know. It's traveling around the country. It was a very long running Broadway hit, but it can easily be done in local theater because it doesn't need a large set at all. You'd just have to check in nearby cities that have theater and see if anyone is planning to do it.
