Dames at Sea

I bought the cheapest tickets EVER for Dames at Sea, a show I've been dying to see as I've only ever done it. The promo for the previews was $19.33 per ticket, the year in which the show takes place. I knew all the songs, and knew that Randy Skinner's choreography and direction would inspire me AND frustrate me as I couldn't dance in my seat. 
Most of the actors were dancers first which makes sense. The show is a BEAST for tappers. I enjoyed how silly and campy it was. It's been a while since I'v laughed over BAD lines. I believed the silly romance between Dick and Ruby who had met for one day, but didn't necessarily believe the love between Lucky and Joan. The best by far was Mona! She was phenom and I'm sure she'll be nominated for a tony.

 We sat in row M in the middle section! I mean, for $20 I cannot believe how much show I got. When we got up to leave, Randy Skinner was sitting 2 rows behind us taking notes! OMFG!

The end tap number (Star Tar) was by far the best tap I've ever seen in a tap show. It was so clean and confident!
