We decided to see the last of the Roundabout Theater's offerings for HipTix, Just Jim Dale! It was a one man show starring Jim Dale of course, who before coming, I had no idea was a pop singer from the 50's in the UK, and the Doctor character in Pete's Dragon. Squee! Feeling like a kid. The show was fun because we don't really have shows like it anymore. BUT after an hour, we were feeling a little bored with it all. It was nice to hear what he had to say about show business and the struggles he had in getting to where he was, but show business doesn't sound the same anymore.
It was very sweet to see how he grew up, and to see his photographs of himself in ballet class at 10 years old. Poor guy! I loved hearing about his story of his absent cousin and a performance of his pas de deux. He actually already had comedic timing as a kid. Very impressed.
Our seats were great. As a gold member, I was given a choice of 3 different spots. I sat in the front row of the mezzanine. They were filming the night we went. It was a short show at 90 minutes but a good length for a one man performance.
