We have enjoyed live music and theatre our entire lives. The lure of live is always better
than prerecorded. Seeing Hair in Las Vegas in 1970 was our first exposure to live theatre.
And the San Francisco Ballet production of the Nutcracker was an exceptional experience.
Here are postcards of what we have seen and enjoyed since.
