Just wanted to thank everyone for all the help in planning my theater trip to NY. I got lots of helpful codes, and suggestions from so many people! So thanks so much!
Anyways...here's what my trip is gonna be:
JULY 26-AUGUST 6, 2007
Xanadu Grey Gardens 110 in the Shade (Closing Performance) Beauty and the Beast (Closing Performance) Forbidden Broadway RENT (Adam/ Anthony Opening Night) Mary Poppins Phantom of the Opera The Color Purple Les Miserables Spring Awakening Legally Blonde The Drowsy Chaperone Altar Boyz Spamalot
I'M SO EXCITED!!!
(Also depending on what time I get to my hotel room on the 26, I may or may not go see Gypsy)
Now all I see are cute boys with short haircuts in a maze of their own...
I hope you get to see GYPSY as well. It's spectacular.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
Good show list. I saw quite a few of those when I went to NYC. I saw 12 shows in 7 days. Let's just say I need a day off from shows just so I could sleep in and recuperate. Give us a report when you get back.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Listen to jordangirl - she's seems like a wise gal.

Drop Legally Blonde & Les Miserables , instead go see GYPSY ( I wish I can see it too ! ) and A Chorus Line (much better revival than Les Miserables !)
I am just kiddin' - Hope you have a great time !! enjoy the shows & get back with the reviews and.......pictures too...
XANADU & GREY GARDENS- Excellent choices ! What a good way to start your Broadway Binge
Yankee- Me too !- I have NOT SEEN Phantom on Broadway .. just the touring company in Boston at Wang Center...Besides I dont really like Andrew Lloyd Weber that much
While I saw an understudy rehearsal of PHANTOM, I must admit I have never seen the show as well. I've been meaning to, but new shows just keep opening and PHANTOM will NEVER close (just look at last week's grosses). I'll see it on Broadway eventually. Definitely before it closes (in the year 2040). You HAVE to say you saw the original production of the longest-running show on Broadway!!

MILLIE- YES I have onstage seats for Xanadu...there was no other place I could think of sitting! It just seems like so much fun...plus I want that dam glowstick, hahaha
And yea, I will post all my reviews when I get back!
As for GYPSY- I want to see it, trust me I do. But I might not get to my hotel until 7:00-7:30...so it really all depends on if I have any delays or not. SO LET'S HOPE I DONT...cause I need to see me some Patti
Now all I see are cute boys with short haircuts in a maze of their own...
How about your your pictures ? I actually very happy bec. more & more people were posting their pics here now... Its the NEW GENERATION of BWW ! It's more personal....
Oops. I just realized something.. that's ITS HARD to post mutiple pictures here in the thread ( I get that question or pm-ed a lot ) It depends on your browsers...I know that Clumsy Dude can post mutiple pics too (we probably share the same browser or secret - dont reveal it-clumsy )- it might be tricky !
If it does not work... Dont worry about it
J*
Edit : Clumsy- Dont reveal it - its like our X-MEN's super power or Heroes "special gift " or someone might take it away from us and we wont be able to post pics anymore...
BTW- Yankee taught me another "superpower " trick today- Thanks so much !!!
I took a red eye from San Jose to NYC and arrived at 7am and got to the hotel around 8:30am and they had our room available and we went and got coffee then took a two hour nap and then went to see Mary Poppins and Altar Boyz. That was quite something and we weren't really tired considering we didn't sleep much on the plane. You should totally go to see Gypsy.
