Last
year, we heard that the Tony Award® winning play Book of Mormon would be taking their show on the road after 2 year
stint on Broadway. They announced a stop in LA and we couldn’t pass it up. So
in April, tickets were purchased for myself and Tasia, Shasta & Mike and
Mark. We then booked a hotel and we waited.
Finally
the weekend was upon us, but obviously things had changed (with the addition of
the puppy), so the logistics had changed. Greta had agreed to watch her for 24
hours, allowing us a nice little vacation in LA. We headed up early, did some
shopping and sightseeing. Checked in and changed at the hotel in West
Hollywood, then headed to Santa Monica for dinner at Tar & Roses with Shasta & Mike and Mark. All I can say is YUUUUUUUUMMMMY!!! We kind of had an
idea that this place would be good. Probably because I did some research on top
rated restaurants in Los Angeles / Santa Monica and this one had great reviews. We all had great (and different) entrees, but shared a couple of appetizers:
Pig Tails and Bone Marrow. Both were very good and we were all excited to try
them.
By the time
we were done with dinner, we had to rush to get to the Pantages theater (in
Hollywood), and sitting down as the room went dark and the curtains rose. Now,
I personally, haven’t been to a big musical production like this before. I have to say I was thoroughly impressed and awed, loving every minute of it.The music and singing were awesome!!! Highly recommended to all!!
