The What-Iffers Field Trip

The founding members of the local Society of What-Iffers took a field trip to see "If/Then" at the Pantages last night. That would be the SJG and the SJG's brother J.S., a snappy dresser, and, as he likes to remind me, "Delightful." This crazy show stars the wickedly talented Idina Menzel, as a gal who, much like Dorothy, could go this way or that way, and why not explore each version, in a "Sliding Doors" kind of way, until the founding members of the local Society of What-Iffers are so baffled, so utterly confused, along with the entire audience, based on the conversations overheard during intermission, that they must then consider a third version of the wickedly talented Idina Menzel's journey as Liz/Beth... or is she Elizabeth? In the end, it doesn't really matter. None of it makes any sense, much like life itself (which, I think is the point, anyway), but we got to hear her sing like an angel sent down from above, and that, my friends, is always a good thing.
