This is a necessary piece of history to tell.

I may just have to visit Broadway to see this in person.

1. I saw the off broadway play Gloria last night.

It was amazing. Christine Laiti and the entire cast were wonderful. I laughed and teared up many times. It was a real treat. If anyone is close enough to get into the city I encourage you to see it. It is at a small theater and the tickets are much more reasonable than typical Broadway show tix. It is a theater in the round and every single seat is a good one. I learned a lot of important history. I give it an A++++. In terms of an important experience plus wonderful entertainment it is right up there with Hamilton.

Good idea on the off broadway performances. I would not have thought of that when planning a trip to NY.

I have read of similar kudos to Gloria though.

Thanks for your info!
