Pre-Theatre Hadestown at Il Forno

Il Forno


A quick bite before seeing the new musical taking Broadway by storm: Hadestown. 



 We had intended to eat at Carve Cafe on 8th Ave @ 45th Street, but when we arrived, it looked more like a deli than a dinner spot.  So we walked along 8th Ave and found Il Forno.


Notes

.

Great flatbread! Seasonal veggies meant just that.  Asparagus and arugula. 

Beet Salad


Hadestown was a great show.  First, we were in the back of a very cramped balcony, so Amy suggested I ask for different seating (with legroom!).  The usher helped, and I sat in a regular straight-back chair.




The show started pretty much on time.  Starting with a great jazz number.  About the 5th or 6th number, the STAGE MANAGER comes over the PA system calmly saying "Hold, please.  Actors would you please exit the stage.  Musicians would you also please exit the stage."  The house lights came up and there was a medical emergency in the orchestra seating.

After about 15 minutes.  The show resumed.  GREAT SHOW.
