RSVP AT THIS LINK: PB HOLIDAY PARTY
As someone who loves hockey, the NFL and theatre, this is going to be a privilege. So if you happen to be near midtown on Tuesday night, I hope you’ll join me.
After the 7:00 pm performance of the play “Lombardi” on Tuesday, New Jersey Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello is the guest for a special Talkback session. Representing AOL FanHouse, The New York Times hockey blog Slap Shot and, of course, Point Blank, I’m moderating the event.
“Lombardi,” at the Circle in the Square theatre on 50th and Broadway, is a very good play about a sportswriter who travels to Green Bay to write a feature story on the legendary Packers coach. The one-act play is 90 minutes, and then the talk with Lamoriello will run for about 20 minutes. He will speak about the major impact Lombardi’s ideals had on his career.
Broadway show tickets are expensive, but I’m told you can get tickets for $40 by going to www.broadwayoffers.com and using the code Vince40. Per reader Cheryl, student tickets are also available for $29 at the Circle in the Square box office on the day of the show.
If you have any questions or want to let me know you’re attending, please send an email to cb@islanderspointblank.com. My role is not much more than a walk-on, but I’m very excited about stepping on a Broadway stage and speaking with the Hall of Famer and architect of three Stanley Cup championship teams.
