Bengal Tigar was our first Broadway play during our month. We saw it our first day in NYC about two-and-a-half weeks ago. Our brother-in-law Bob went with us while Carol and Maddy decided to go to La Cage Aux Folles instead. (Susan and I saw La Cage previously)
The play follows a tiger as he haunts the streets of Baghdad seeking the meaning of life. As he witnesses the puzzling absurdities of war, the tigar encounters Americans and Iraqis who are searching for friendship and redemption. By the end of the show, all are ghosts.
The show was funny and heavy at the same time. Robin Williams is wonderful in the show though he was NOT nominated for a Tony Award (Oscar's for live theater); the nominations came out yesterday.
PS we caught pictures of Robin Williams him after he left the theater. They are already posted.
After the show we went to a Deli for some giant desserts.
PSS - Carol, Bob, and Maddy live in Woodland Hills (LA) and were in NYC the first week. They arrived the same day as we pulled into town. Maddy came to spend some time with Rose at Columbia. She starts SF State this coming Fall. Happy Birthday Maddy - you're 18 today
