* SOPHIE, TOTIE & BELLE.

Last night Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats caught the musical-comedy Sophie, Totie & Belle at the Weisman Community Center in Delray Beach and I gotta tell you that we had an absolutely terrific time.

The show which -stars Stefanie Genovese as Sophie Tucker, Stefanie Lamay as Belle Bart, Christie Oliver as Totie Fields with Gary Waldman playing all-of the male characters is the story of a “meeting” of the show-biz legends- in Heaven’s Waiting Room! Some real nice singing, joke “telling” and biographical info made the 2 hour and 15 minute show (includes 15 minute intermission) literally fly by. Just between Jeff Eats and you guys, trying to “impersonate” three legendary-stars is a real tough task- that said, Stefanie, Stefanie & Christie did a nice job in their portrayals. All three actresses, gave the audience enough a “taste” as to why Sophie, Totie & Belle warrant a show about their careers in the first place. Gary Waldman did a great job playing various “male” characters in the lives of Sophie, Totie & Belle. Finally, Jeff Eats would be remiss not mentioning pianist Mark Galsky- who is the glue of the production!

Go see the show!

You ‘ll enjoy it!

* SOPHIE, TOTIE & BELLE.
Got a something real good for you guys…

SOPHIE, TOTIE & BELLE which is set to run at the Weisman Delray Community Center, 7091 West Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida 33446 (561) 558-2100 from April 10th-May 31st…

Years ago, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats saw the Fort Lauderdale production of- SOPHIE, TOTIE & BELLE and I gotta tell you that this Musical Comedy was an absolute home-run!

Jeff Eats knows that casts-change…so we’ll have to see how 2015’s does- BUT- based on the “script” alone, I’m thinking this is gonna be a real good-one!

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are gonna pick up- a pair of tickets…

* ProFlowers (proflowers.com.

Mother’s Day 2015-is now covered…plus Jeff Eats got another 20%- off at the checkout!

Great site for guys -who like Jeff Eats say: “Hey, you’re not my mother.”

* Maybe This Is Why They Are Called The Good Old Days!

Between 1890 and 1910 heroin was sold as a non-addictive substitute for morphine.
It was also used to treat children suffering with a strong cough.

* Papalani Gelato, 16800 Jog Road, Delray Beach, Florida 33446, (561) 536-5866.

Next week Papalani Gelatio a franchised gelato/hand-made chocolates/dessert/breakfast/coffee fast food “concept” out of Hawaii is scheduled to open in the Shoppes of Addison Place, 16800 Jog Road, Delray Beach.

This morning, Jeff Eats “peeked” in Papalani’s window and the store is almost set-to go…I will tell you, that it’s a real nice looking upscale “ice cream” store! No ifs ands or buts, the franchisee went for some nice cash building the joint!

If I got my geography-straight, Papalani Gelato is opening in the exact-same center that “now failed” Orange Leaf Self Serve Frozen Yogurt did back in April, 2010.

Only time will tell if this new player’s concept is strong enough to overcome a strip center which back in 2010, as well as today – literally had/has no foot traffic! Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, I have never been to a Papalani Gelato store, so, I have absolutely no idea as to how its stuff is…that said, a pretty thorough Google Search turned up some real nice “feedback” on its products/operation. Not to harp, but all I know is Jeff Eats’ mantra for “these” kind of fast food businesses is…location, location, location- but like I said 1.4 seconds ago, time will tell!

Papalani Gelato will be open Sunday-Thursday 6am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 6am-11pm.

You can follow the Papalani Gelato “story” at papalanigelato.com.

By the way Papalani Gelato currently has 4 opened-locations (2 stores in Hawaii, 1 store in Temple Terrace, Florida, 1 store in Brandon, Florida).

* Gilbert Gottfried.

Blue as blue can be!

Just checked the box-office and there are a handful of $25, $50, $100 tickets left! Between you and Jeff Eats, the Crest Theatre is “so small” that those $25 seats- work perfectly!

If you can handle blue, no comedian in America performs BLUE as classy as Gilbert Gottfried does!

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have seen Gottfried live 5-times…and each and every time he killed!

You can catch tickets at delraycenterforthearts.com.

***** Leonardo’s Ristorante, 10300 West Forest Hill Boulevard, Florida 33414, (561) 537-3727.

Got a real good- red sauce mom & pop Italian joint for you guys…Leonardo’s Ristorante in Wellington.

Long story short,

This past Sunday- around 2:34pm Mrs. Jeff Eats “decided” that the Forever 21 store in Town Center Boca Raton didn’t have what she needed- but that the Forever 21 store in The Mall at Wellington Green did! Thirty-nine minutes and 22 miles later- Jeff Eats found himself sitting in Leonardo’s Ristorante eating a stromboli (pepperoni/sausage/ham/mozzarella/romano cheese) and 2 slices of cheese pizza while Mrs. Jeff Eats- played “Supermarket Sweep” in Forever 21!

Leonardo’s Ristorante is located on the Mall’s upper-level…for you geographers out there- it’s right next to “a” TooJay’s Gourmet Deli. Don’t know the details, but Leonardo’s “spot” over the years has housed several other restaurants (which apparently weren’t the sharpest pencils in pencil-case)…just so you know, Leonardo’s has been open for something like 4 weeks and based on the “action” that I saw during my half-hour visit- people seem to really enjoy its stuff!

Leonardo’s has wait-service, but if you “like” you can order at the counter-and grab a table/booth…The joint’s menu has the full-boat of expected- appetizers, subs, pizzas, calzones, strombolis, pastas, entrees- and yes!-the entrees come with salad/garlic rolls/pasta side.

Like I said 4.3 seconds ago, Jeff Eats did 2 slices of cheese pizza and a stromboli and I gotta tell you both were delicious. For what it’s worth, the thin/crisp/sweet sauce slice was so good- that after Mrs. Jeff Eats had done her damage- and retrieved Jeff Eats, we took home a 16″ large cheese pizza ($12.99)- for good measure we also-ordered a Caesar salad ($8.50) and a large sausage parmigiana sub ($9) which like the pizza and stromboli were right on the money!

Let me wrap this up for you guys…the next time you’re in the Mall- skip the food-court and catch a bite at Leonardo’s- I’m thinking you’ll be glad you did!

The joint is open Sunday 11am-9pm, Monday-Saturday 11am-10pm.

* For you Rockers out there!

* Miami Marlins All You Can Eat Seats.

Sounds like a pretty good “deal” to me!

For sure, Jeff Eats doesn’t follow baseball like I use to- when guys like Ron Swoboda were swatting those home-runs for the Mets…that said, every year I try and catch the Marlins at a game or two!

The bet here is that- it probably has been quite sometime since most of you guys “went” to a game…give it a shot- it’s a real nice outing!

Finally, I’m thinking that the reason why Kosher Korner’s hot dogs aren’t in the deal- has something to do with Sandy Koufax- but Jeff Eats is just guessing on that!

ALL YOU CAN EAT MONDAYS

All You Can Eat Seats include a game ticket and unlimited Kayem Beef Franks, Peanuts, Popcorn, Nachos, Pepsi Sodas, and Aquafina Water to Monday home games in 2015! Starting at $30! (Offer excludes Opening Day 4/6 and 6/15 versus the New York Yankees)

* Shadows Of the 60’s- A Tribute To Motown’s Super Groups.

No ifs ands or buts, one of America’s best Motown Revue Shows…

Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you…I’ve seen this “act” a number of times, nothing but standing ovations. Don’t believe me, check with the folks at Valencia Reserve in Boynton Beach- who had Shadows Of The 60’s at their clubhouse on March 27, 2015 and see what they thought of the show!- by the way Jeff Eats was there, so unless the 500+ sold out crowd are an organized bunch of fibbers, I know- exactly what they are gonna tell you!

SOPHIE, TOTIE & BELLE

Re-Scheduled Run April 10th – May 31st!
at the beautiful Weisman Delray Community Center
7091 West Atlantic Ave (between Jog & Hagen Ranch)
Because the Show MUST GO ON!

Tickets are, once again on sale NOW for this INCREDIBLE production celebrating

SOPHIE TUCKER, TOTIE FIELDS and BELLE BARTH!

Unfortunately, our former space at Delray Square became unsafe for our audiences and, as most of you know, it took us several weeks to find a new venue that is both conveniently located for our customers (we are literally just a few short minutes up the road) and had the facilities to house

ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR MUSICAL-COMEDIES EVER TO PLAY S. FLORIDA!

Our 2000 production moved directly from Ft. Lauderdale to Theater4 off-Broadway!

SOPHIE, TOTIE & BELLE is a riotously funny musical based on a fictional meeting between legendary & ground-breaking female performers, Sophie Tucker, Totie Fields and Belle Barth.

With a full-out belt score & some of the best comedic material ever written (mind you, Belle Barth, referred to as the female Lenny Bruce was not for the shy or prudish among us), this delightful musical promises to be among the most fun you will have this season!
An R-rated Act Made in Heaven!
The playhouse is rollicking like the old Miami Beach clubs that Fields and Barth frequented, and Tucker was known to visit. – Sun-Sentinel
