Even though I'm not that far from New York, I never go there to see a show or a play. Nevertheless, one thing I really enjoy about The New Yorker is being able to read about what's going on in the theater world. I don't mean just the reviews; I mean the stuff at the front of each issue, too. For example, I enjoy reading that Lincoln Center is mounting a revival of The King and I, and that Dame Helen Mirren is on stage playing Queen Elizabeth II--again. I don't know why this is, I just know that it is.
