One didn't have to leave the state of California in 2009 to experience the very best in world theater, although Angelenos would have benefited from a couple of trips to the Bay Area. "Next to Normal" and "Fela" -- for my money, the two best new Broadway musicals of 2009 -- will no doubt make it to Southern California before long. In the meantime, click on the photo gallery for a recap of my sunniest Golden State moments.
