thanks to those who have helped (whether they knew it or not!), had a blast!

ps I am annoyed (possibly the only one in NY) that it didn't snow! if I want mild winters I'll vstay here! hehe...

Hello, fellow Aussie! What shows did you see? I managed 30 in 34 days myself - if you thought you were poor..!
And I actually got a little snow in New York! Around Jan 18th/19th :)

I would love to read your reviews. And since you already wrote them, just copy and paste and enjoy our *hopefully nice and non argumentative* comments! 
#13re: 22 shows in 16 days
Posted: 1/30/07 at 10:59amThis is phenomenal! I would die if I got to see that many shows, so close together! =) I can't wait to hear your reviews!!
BroadwayBoobs: I'll give all of you who weren't there a hint of who took the pictures ...it rhymes with shameless

will post reviews tonight- top few shows would def be:
Drowsy chapperone, Spring awakening, Avenue Q, and maybe Company(ok not the best concept/production, but the only show that made me cry so it gets my vote...)
worst would be-
Spamalot (ok i don't get the joke, or perhaps I was angry Marin was off...), Tarzan- (best opening 20secs ever... shame after that), I love you you're perfect etc..., The Producers (ok having seen the show in aus I know the show is fantastic... this production needs a coat of paint...)
full reviews coming!!

Posted: 1/30/07 at 9:10pmDefinitely see Company. I thought it was fantastic. I'm excited to read all your reviews. I'm also curious about I Love You, You're Perfect...because my friend saw it recently off-broadway too and hated it, but I saw a regional production of it and loved it. Can the actors off-broadway really be that bad?

Posted: 2/1/07 at 10:09pmNath - way to go! Sorry about the snow thing - snow in New York isn't a pretty sight once it hits the ground anyway.
