************************************* I've attended "Don't Quit" in the past but that was when the show was on Monday night's at 7pm. It has since moved to Thursday nights at 11:30pm. I'll already be in the city on Thursday night because I have Chicago tickets and I have off the next day so getting home late isn't a huge deal. But, the last train home is at 1:41am and the next one isn't until 4:20am. I'm wondering if I should attempt to see "Don't Quit" again. I adore Marc Kudish because he was involved in my first real "theatre" event. He played Conrad in a revival of Bye Bye Birdie starring Tommy Tune that toured in the early 90's and in the TV movie starring Jason Alexander. My Grandmother took me to see it the summer between sixth and seventh grades. Susan Egan and Steve Zahn played Kim and Hugo in the same production! I think Marc is a great performer and he's wonderful at improv. I'd love to see him again. But I might be cutting it too close. BUT...the Zipper theatre is only a few blocks from Penn Station. I'm debating right now.

If you ever have the opportunity to see The Petersons~ go! Parents, be aware that the show changes every time. There have been skits, songs that were a bit adult.
