We made it to JUNE!
(sometimes it seemed like we'd never get here)
As it turns out, June 1 was the opening date for 3 famous Broadway Musicals:
"You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" opened on June 1, 1971 at the Golden Theater, "Chicago" opened on June 1, 1975 at the 46th St. Theater, and "Les Miserables" opened on June 1, 1988 at the Schubert Theater Los Angeles. It therefore seems appropriate that we feature musicals this week!
