"Jersey Boys" Opening Night? Two Weeks From Tonight.

By -
Two weeks from tonight Jersey Boys opens at Century II in Wichita.
One critic, I think accurately, calls it "the first musical for guys." I've seen the show a number of times and can't wait to see it again. Tickets are on sale here.

If you are visiting from out of town, the Hyatt Regency is physically connected to Century II and the the Drury-Broadview is across the street. The Ambassador is a short walk. All three have surprisingly good restaurants if wish to do dinner as part of your evening.

If you would like a sample, see the video below. At the end, you see people literally on their feet singing along. That is very common at the performances I have attended. However, Kathleen says I have to wait for others to start singing before I can sing along. So, Wichita, how 'bout it? Do you want to hear my falsetto (from the audience) or not?


ADDITION: Kathleen is concerned about my phrasing about the restaurants. My point is each would make it as a stand-alone restaurant even if it didn't have the hotel business, they're that good. In fact, when we see JB, we're having dinner at one of the three I listed.

    Agree on Jersey Boys. Saw it in Vegas and it was exhilirating.

    I wanted to thank you for not just blogging about weather. It is always interesting to read what smart people find interesting away from their chosen field or area of expertise. You seem to strike the right balance between business and pleasure.

    Thanks!

The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes. Remember: if a tornado warning is issued, go to your basement and get under heavy furniture like a pool table. Of, if your basement is finished, get into the bathroom. Go ahead an put a couple of water bottles and, if appropriate, diapers in your shelter area. Wear shoes.  If you don't have a basement or safe room, go to the lowest floor and get into a bath or closet in the middle of your home. Children should be put in the bathtub.  I'll update later today.

Note: An Updated Forecast is Available HERE Freezing Rain The National Weather Service has now issued winter weather advisories, two warnings and a watch. It may be a bit too large but, when it comes to freezing rain and slick roads, caution is usually the better course of action.  Here's a color code: Deep purple is an ice storm warning; serious condition where power outages are possible. Pink is a winter storm warning for significant icing. Deep green is a winter storm watch. I don't know why this is still a watch. If I were on the forecast desk I would have a winter storm warning for icing.  Dark blue is a winter weather advisory, a lesser condition, for icing.  Here is a view of the entire watch/warning/advisory area. The small area of green in Illinois is for flooding and, in Nebraska, for snow.  Here is a forecast of freezing rain amounts; totals to 6am Tuesday.  Color codes: Yellow is 0.25 to 0.50 inches. Power outages may occur in this areas. Deep blue is 0.1 to .25 inc
