Last Friday I went to Roanoke to preview Avenue Q for Richmond magazine. It was the first time in years that I had been to that area of Virginia. I stayed at Hotel Roanoke and had a really great meal in the Regency Room. I had their signature crab cake and Reggie had a filet. Both were excellent. I was shocked at the size of the huge crab cake. It was enough crab to feed a family of four and it was all jumbo lump crab. I was equally impressed with the service in the restaurant. Everything there was top-notch. I would highly recommend it to anyone going to Roanoke, even if you don't stay at the hotel.
It was interesting watching the crowd at the Roanoke Civic Center. In Richmond, most of the people that attend the theater are 35 and older, at least that what it looks like to me when I'm in the audience. I was surprised to see that half of the folks at the Roanoke show were 35 and under. From the buzz going around at intermission, it seems like everyone was having a good time.
Just in case you didn't get to see the post on Richmond magazine's blog, here's my review .

Makes me hungry. Going to Roanoke in April and I'm not going to miss that crab cake!
