No chance in hell with a side of dessert

I saw "No chance in hotel" at the Darlinghurst Theatre tonite.
It's by same people who wrote "Bangers & Mash", which also played at the DT a while back (I think I saw it with the Chambers people). The playwrights/director obviously loves incorporating music, more particularly singing, into to their productions, usually with a hilarious result. They were both unbelievably silly and fun plays to watch.

If you subscribe to DT's mailing list, you'll get emailed about their "ticket rushes", to buy cheap tix for their midweek shows.

Highlight of the nite for me though was dessert at Young Alfred - honeycomb and strawberry parfait. As anyone who works with me knows I LOVE that place. Love the pizza. Love the decor. Love the dessert. I've become a bit of a regular. I'm actually going to a farewell dinner there on Friday nite* ... he he two visits in the one week. Needless to say, if you haven't visited and tried their pizza, you're missing out.

* Friday nite - had dinner at Young Alfreds tonite. Ordered a Little Sister Pizza (potato, rosemary, caramelised onion and gorgonzola - yum as usual but for some reason was v oily - maybe from the cheese?). Resisted the temptation to order the parfait for dessert again. I went for the chocolate terrine with marmalade ice cream and caramelised pistachios. Parfait wins hands down.
