This past week I was in NYC and saw the following shows:
Young Frankenstein
Mary Poppins
Spamalot
Hairspray
Forbidden Broadway
I'd have to say that overall my favorite was Mary Poppins. Mind you I am not a big fan of the film or Disney in general, but there was something magical about it. Spamalot was absolutely hilarious! Clay Aiken rocked as Sir Robin and various other characters. Even got a pic with him at the stage door (see below). Hairspray was excellent, though I think I like the film more. Young Frankenstein was a big disappointment. A lot of things were done well, such as, choreography, sets, lighting, effects, acting, singing, haha. But the music was so bland and unmemorable that it killed it for me. But, I got pics with Megan Mullaley and Andrew Martin (see below). That smoothed things over :).

Posted: 1/24/08 at 10:07amI really like the color of Megan Mullaly's hair. And it seems like I keep hearing over and over that Young Frank's sets and lighting were incredible but the show was bad, but the actors were good. I gotta check this out.

Megan Mullally looks beautiful. She's aging very well.
The first picture is kinda creepy
