We worked around the house before going to Seasons 52 for a great lunch before the play! At OC Performing Arts Center we saw “I Love Lucy”.
It’s 1952 and you are a member of the studio audience awaiting the filming of two hilarious and oh-so-familiar I LOVE LUCY® episodes. Imagine stepping back in time onto the Desilu Playhouse soundstage where a charming host entertains and enlightens you to the behind-the-scenes filming process, the 1950s hi-fidelity technology and this brand-new thing called “television.” The episodes begin and you witness, firsthand, the side-splitting antics of that crazy redhead in the Ricardo’s New York apartment and thrill to the Cuban sounds of “The Ricky Ricardo Orchestra” at the famed Tropicana Nightclub. In-between scenes, The Crystaltone Singers perform live advertising jingles of the show’s newest sponsors in perfect 50s style harmony. Can you say “Brylcreem?!”
Alert Alert! Git text from Amy that Charlie hit a home run at the baseball game. His name is now “Slugger”
We returned home and them headed to the Garden Grove Elks for an evening of dancing with friends. The music was pretty good and we dance until about 10:30! The Branders, Roberts, Kuhns, Finches, and Zaits were at our table!
We went home and crashed after reading our email….
