Judicial SIGHT-ation: Justice O'Connor at "Cabaret"

Here's a quick judicial sightation (and proof that the beleaguered Article III Groupie still exists). A UTR reader provides this report:

Last night, Justice O'Connor was spotted at Georgetown Law School! She, with her husband and two other guests, attended a performance of Cabaret by the Georgetown Gilbert & Sullivan Society (Motto: "The only theater group with its own law school!"). The cast of mostly law students was totally jazzed that she came! (If you squint at this picture, you can make out the back of the Justice's head, reading a program in the dark.)

During intermission, the Justice was overheard praising the talents of the actors and singers. And rightly so -- the show is fantastic! Sadly, she left before the end of the show, probably because it was very late in the evening.

A3G, if you post this today, you can let your readers know that they can be as cool as Justice O'Connor by attending our show for closing night tonight, Saturday, Nov. 12 at the Georgetown Law Center, Hart Auditorium, 8 PM.

Fantastic! A3G, who is an avid theatregoer, urges all of her D.C.-based readers to check out the show. If you're not familiar with "Cabaret," by the great team of Kander & Ebb, this commentary by Jay Tamboli contains a concise and enticing description:

You’d think watching a musical about Nazis, abortion, and girls dancing in their underwear would be awkward enough sitting next to your girlfriend, but try it sitting near a Supreme Court Justice. “Undue burden” indeed!

Yes, "Cabaret" is that exciting -- a show not to be missed. And if you're lucky, perhaps another justice of the SCOTUS will make an appearance at this evening's performance. If so, you know whom to tell about it!
