On July 17-26, Transit Five will present the regional premiere of the musical “Edges” by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Pasek and Paul were 2007 winners of the Jonathon Larson award, an award recognizing the new generation of composers and lyricists. Their musical “Edges” is a song cycle for a new generation of theater-goers.

Last night the Cyclones beat the Las Vegas Wranglers to win the Kelly Cup in the 6th game of the series. Tickets were just $10, probably the best sports ticket bargain ever!
The attendance was 12,722 and US Bank Arena didn't seem prepared to handle the crowd. Beer, pizza, pretzel & peanut shortages indicated concession management grossly underestimated demand. (Seriously, peanuts?!? Those can be stored for a while, there's no excuse to run out! Sorry, but I get cranky when I'm hungry.)

The Cyclones are headed to Las Vegas after last night's loss in the ECHL championships. If necessary the series will return to Cinci June 5th & 7th for the final games. Sunday's game was well attended and the crowd was surprisingly age diverse. Scoreless going into the 3rd period, the Wranglers hit the only goal of the game after a mildly aggressive exchange.

This year's Mother's Day outing included Cincinnati Ballet's Serenade & Carmina Burana. Min Usha brought her mom as well. This was an ETA Member Event and a significant number of ETAers bought in. The show was great. I especially liked the opening & closing numbers of Carmina. I felt a little sleepy toward the end of Serenade but that's more a result of recent activities than the ballet performance. Dracula is part of the 2008-09 Season and a lecture by George Balanchine. Good stuff.
