\*\*Indecent \*\*was wonderful! I saw it last year Off-Broadway and then again on Broadway a couple weeks ago. I highly recommend it! I haven’t seen **Come From Away** yet but I definitely want to! ---

I was thrilled to see this show do as well as it has. I read a book called _[The Day the World Came to Town](https://www.amazon.com/Day-World-Came-Town-Newfoundland/dp/0060559713)_ which is based on this event and it is a great read as well (I was planning a visit to Newfoundland and found it while looking around for travel guides and such). ---

My wife went to see “Come From Away” today. I’ll ask her how it was. I’m sure she’ll have some good stories since she chaperoned a field trip of middle schoolers. Two buses full. From Vermont to NYC. She left at 5 and will be home maybe by midnight. I wonder if she lost any kids in Times Square?!
