Palladium

Despite having headlined other shows, when Peters appeared in the original cast of “Into the Woods”—the first time I saw her on stage—she was truly an ensemble player, generously sharing the spotlight with the company. My next encounter with Peters on stage was in the most recent revival of “Annie Get Your Gun,” where she transcended a somewhat misguided production, pulling out the vocal stops to give the audience its money’s worth (particularly with a stirringly simple take on “I Got Lost in His Arms”). Just last year, I caught Peters’ performance at the Kennedy Center in D.C. in the production of “Follies” that eventually moved to Broadway. There, I had the privilege of seeing a stunning, emotional performance by Peters that both served the ensemble a la “Into the Woods” and delivered big, hold-the-stage-alone moments a la “Annie Get Your Gun,” all while revealing a depth of characterization that was heartbreaking.

This week, one of Broadway’s few true stars will be at the Palladium—and I’m looking forward to seeing even more sides to a one-of-a-kind performer. Details here

  1. Back in my teens/early 20s, Chicago's in Greenfield was a spot where my friends and I ate on a constant basis. Chicago's has always offered good pizza and bread sticks, but after getting married and buying a home, their prices and locations have made it so I would only get their pizza once every three years. They have expanded into McCordsville, but sadly closed the downtown Indy store years ago (this was the coolest layout for a restaurant in my opinion).

    Just recently we decided to try Chicago's at the old Greenfield location. While it was clean, they haven't updated much over the last five years or so. Still the same layout, booths, tables, etc.. I made a comment to my wife about how that place hasn't changed in years. Good to see they are doing well enough to build a newer building.

  2. INDIANA CASINOS ARE TIGHT. OTHER OUTSIDE CASINOS HAVE WINNERS ALL DAY LONG. PEOPLE HIT REGULARLY AT OUTSIDE CASINOS, INDIANA CASINOS HAVE FEW WINNERS ESPECIALLY THE LARGER JACKPOT WINNERS. PEOPLE ARE NOT WINNING ENOUGH AT INDIANA CASINO , SO THEY ARE NOT FUN TO VISIT. I,D RATHER TRAVEL TO OUTSIDE CASINO AND TAKE THE CHANCE ON WINNING AND HAVING FUN DOING THAT , THEN TO KNOW THAT YOUR CHANCES AT WINNING AT A INDIANA CASINO AREFAR AND IN BETWEEN.

  3. record low crowd and a record low TV audience.

  4. for an IRL carb day. Like a record tv number,,,,that would be soooo hard

  5. For those of you who think the state didn't do as much as they should...the state did $6M more than they should!!! As a taxpayer I am opposed to the $6M!!!
