For me the only REAL reason to go to New York City is to see LOTS of Broadway shows. Here are the show that me, my mom and my sister(Susan) went to see on our trip in September.
"Grease"...great show. It had the characters that they cast from the NBC show "Grease: You're The One That I Want". The guy who plays the role of Danny is from Phoenix, Max Crumm. The cast had so much energy! They have got to be tired after every show.
"Mary Poppins"...oh my! So good! It's different than the movie and is based more closely to the original Mary Poppins books. Disney is amazing though. They really know how to create a set...a little money helps too. This was my moms favorite out of all of the shows we saw. I got a little tear in my eye when Mary Poppins left at the end. She flew over the audience! Sniff! Sniff!
I can't believe I finally saw "Phantom of the Opera" on Broadway. Andrew Lloyd Weber is the King!! Yes...I know...it's a very dark show but come on, the music is amazing and can't be beat. I saw it when I was in High School when they were on tour in Nashville. But this was the real deal!
"The Drowsy Chaperone" was a fun surprise show to see. The only regret is that our sits for this one were to far back and we couldn't see the expressions on their faces. I have one rule when seeing Broadway shows...pay for good tickets! I can't stand to not really see the performance. So we broke the rule and paid for it. But the show was still really good and really funny!
Okay....I saved my FAVORITE for last!! "WICKED" Unbelievable!!! I loved it! I was so excited to see this show and I had every song memorized from listening to the CD before I went to NYC. I was pretty sure that if Elphaba or Glinda were injured in any way and couldn't go on with the show, that I could just hop right up there. My girls LOVE the music as much as I do and have their own favorite parts. Needless to say....I can't wait to see it again....and again!
