BOM



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!!
