Saw "The History Boys" tonight -- which I thought was an excellent new play. It's about British boys in school preparing for their college entrance exams. It made me think a lot about which High School teachers had a major effect on me growing up.
Many celebrities were in the audience including:
Julie Andrews
Dixie Carter and Hal Holbrook (in the overcoat and white pants suit)
Neil Patrick Harris
Jimmy Smits
John Stossel
