I had the package here in Austin for many years, but over time it just ended up being too much crap like this, and Mean Girls, so a couple years back I finally canceled.

More Chicago or Rent or Les Mis or Phantom, less Mean Girls or Back To The Future or Beetlejuice.

And I'm a HUGE Beetlejuice fan, too.  But I saw the stage production and... no.  Just... no.

That's why we haven't bought season tickets for Hennepin Theater Trust. Maybe 1 show a year we've heard of, then nothing but jukebox musicals (MJ, Tina, etc).

I actually enjoyed Beetlejuice. That was in our package this last time. Granted I probably haven't seen the movie for 30 years, so it's not like I'm a huge fan. I could see if you're a huge fan, it might be like sacrilege...

Our next show is Kimberly Akimbo, which I've never heard of but apparently it won 5 Tonys, so hopefully it's good.

I get it. 

Seeing the Founding Fathers reimagined singing hip hop has to be jarring for someone who knew them personally.

I didn't know all of them personally of course, just Hamilton and Adams.  And Gwinnett.  And Burr, but i avoided him, a hothead.  

My daughter was visiting and my wife thought it would be a neat thing to do, it was at the "famous" Fox Theater.  She paid extra so we could get into the "lounge" (which was OK but over priced, kind of like a crowded Delta lounge).

So, while I whine about having no French bistros near us, I ran across this place, in the Four Seasons near us, with ambivalent reviews.

Menus | Brasserie Margot in Atlanta, GA

The menu looks French, to me.  We haven't been, it's pricey.  We've been to their bar which my stepson really likes a lot, it's also pricey, go figure, Four Seasons and all.  It's an interesting building, the lower floors are the hotel and the uppers are condos, pricey condos.

Yeah looks more like a "restaurant" than a "bistro" or "brasserie" but the menu looks tasty.  The prices aren't the worst in the world...

When we got married in Florence, my wife had her hair styled at the spa at the Four Seasons. I was waiting and reading my kindle, so I ordered a Peroni. Yeah, that 11.2 oz beer was 19 Euro. I only had one :57:
