We met up with Helena native and New York resident Annie Connole for a great night out of Indian food and a performance by Baby Wants Candy. (Excuse the blurry photos, my camera was set to Inexcusably Blurry Photo mode.)
We jumped in a cab at the apartment and Annie took us to one of her favorite restaurants, Saravanaa Bhavan on Lexington and 26th. Awesome, cheap, huge Indian food. It was literally huge, Annie ordered a dish called paper-something that was a huge crepe roll at least 24 inches long and 6 inches in diameter. Should’a took a photo, but I was distracted by the array of curries and chutneys I’d ordered for myself.
After dinner we jumped into another cab (lux night!) and headed to Baby Wants Candy at the Players Theater. It was a long form improvised musical. In the beginning someone shouts the title of a musical no one has ever seen before: Take it out of your pocket, Sir. Then the four musicians and four performers immediately start to perform the first song. The whole show lasts 60 minutes or so with many songs and characters branching out at first but it was all satisfyingly tied together in the end. It was superb.
