The costumes! The music! The choreography! The staging and the lighting all came together in one place - The Minskoff Theatre on Broadway - to form a magnificent display of human creativity like nothing I have ever seen!!! I won't even attempt to describe my first ever Broadway show experience because no matter how long & hard I search, I could not possibly find just the right words to do it justice. I will say tho' that I'm determined to make sure that my girls see it too - hopefully Spokes will want to join us as well - because knowing now what I was missing up until then, I somehow feel as if their lives won't ever be complete if they never get to see it for themselves!
Broadway,
Bakeries
&
Street Performers
are among the
BEST THINGS ABOUT THE BIG APPLE!
My husband & I had a grand time.
Alone. Together.
In the reeaalllly BIG city
amidst a sea of
soooo
many
people!
But I was grateful to be able to leave once we had enough of too much :)
With that said, I'd be remiss
if I neglected to mention
one last "best thing"
about our Big Apple adventure.
That being
the bus ride to & from the city ...
simply because we weren't driving! :)
Love it!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you enjoyed the show! That's one that I'd like to see. And it looks like you had good weather for the day.
ReplyDeleteThe last show I saw was Phantom, several years ago. And I took two adult sons, who both loved it! Tell Spokes that my boys recommend the trip!
I love what you said about having "enough of too much":)
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, our grown 29 (at the time) year old son loved Mary Poppins! Everyone needs to experience The Big Apple and a Broadway show at least once in their lives! If for no other reason than to say you have:)
Hi all!
ReplyDeleteYes, Farmgal, we did have good weather. It wasn't bitter cold, thankfullly. I sat by a woman who had seen Phantom & Lion King....she seemed to like both equally but for different reasons so I can only imagine.....!!! :)
Hi Mug - I agree! We're takin' the girls to see Mary Poppins at the Boston Opera House for our Once-a- month-year-long 25th Ann Celebration for Feb! So excited! And I'm really hoping to get all three kids to The Lion King eventually. It's so expensive -- esp for a family - but I'm determined :)
