YOU'LL HAVE A ROARING GOOD TIME AT FOR THE RECORD: BAZ LUHRMANN

Last Friday, I had the good fortune of seeing For The Record: Baz Luhrmann 2.0! Rockwell on Vermont has been remodeled into one large cohesive restaurant/bar/nightclub. While dining on fine food and drinks, you relive the classic movie soundtracks of Australian director Baz Luhrmann. What I like most about this revamped musical is how the different movies are intertwined by theme: LOVE! They are Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge, and recently The Great Gatsby. The scenes are acted out in between the musical numbers by a group of wonderful talent. These ladies and gentlemen have extensive resumes Broadway-worthy! A new addition to the FTR family caught my eye. First it was the long red hair, then the voice and acting. Then I thought she looked like Rumer Willis. After checking the credits, turns out it WAS her! Kudos to everyone involved!! Please check out fortherecordlive.com for details on upcoming shows. If you miss this one, there are plenty of other director shows to check out! http://fortherecordlive.com/ UPDATE: The Baz Luhrmann show has been extended! Check their website for details.
