October 23 was on a Wednesday in 1963, 1968, and 1974. Their first performance was in 1961, and the ticket price is too low for the year to have been any later. My best guess would be 1963.

I think that in 50 years I have eaten maybe a dozen times in Michelin-starred restaurants, including two 3-star restaurants in Paris during the 1970s, back when I believed in such things. I've eaten twice at Michelin-starred Indian restaurants (Rasa near San Francisco and Veeraswamy in London). All were OK, but none of them lived up to the hype or the prices. Consistently the best food I've eaten anywhere has come from street-vendor carts in Singapore, who are probably invisible to Michelin inspectors. My most memorable meals came from an informal Nigerian restaurant in London and a dockside dive fish restaurant near Salerno. The Nigerian restaurant was mostly occupied by people who looked like they moight have been Nigerian.
