BWW Review: A GOOD OLD FASHIONED REDNECK COUNTRY CHRISTMAS at Connecticut Cabaret Theatre
Hey y'all! On November 30, I had the pleasure of seeing my favorite Connecticut Cabaret Theatre show of 2019, which is my outright favorite live comedy I have seen in 2019, A GOOD OLD FASHIONED REDNECK COUNTRY CHRISTMAS! This comedy by Kristine Bauske had this packed theatre laughing all throughout the show. Director Kris McMurray has found a stellar cast featuring many Connecticut Cabaret Theatre favorites, and continues to bring out the best in them all. Every actor and actress in this production does so well that it feels like they truly have become their character on stage, something particularly impressive among cast members who we have previously seen also excel in other roles, some that are very different from these roles.

PANDA EXPRESS CELEBRATES AMERICA'S LOVE OF THE ORIGINAL ORANGE CHICKEN
When Panda Express Executive Chef Andy Kao created the Original Orange Chicken recipe in 1987, no one could have predicted how deeply America would fall in love. Sweet and crispy with a touch of heat, the combination of flavors struck a chord with people in a way that few dishes do. Today, more than 70 million pounds of Orange Chicken are served each year - that's about four pieces for each man, woman and child in the United States. To celebrate this beloved dish, Panda Express is taking it on the road to thank fans in person.
