Broadway Weekend with the Nephews - Part 1...if anyone cares (Hairspray and ACL)

Well, we had a great broadway evening tonight. We got the boys and our aunt into the Hairspray Lottery, they were front row center and their tough guy teenage exteriors melted away by the magic of the show. They couldn't stop talking about it, the costumes, the staging, everything. They seemed to get a big kick out of it.


My bf and I went to see A Chorus Line, which brought back tearful memories of my tenure as Bobby and I enjoyed it immensely. The show is electrifying and incredibly touching. I remember seeing it as a very young boy with my mom before the Original production closed, this was just as amazing. I was truly taken by it again. Michael Berresse is incredible, as is Charlotte D'amboise. Everyone was wonderful and the dancing was amazing. The alternatives scene just really got to me, as a person who recently turned 30, a number with a great deal of significance in that show.

Tomorrow it's off to see Ave. Q, which should be a treat for everyone. How bad are the sightlines from the last row?

Glad you had such a good time. And THANK YOU for taking your nephews to Brodway! Introducing young people to Broadway is SO incredibly important. Kudos.

If they loved HAIRSPRAY, they're going to have TONS OF FUN at AVENUE Q! Enjoy!

I introduced my niece and nephew to Broadway theatre when they were both 5 years old. Her first show was the original Broadway production of JEROME ROBBINS' BROADWAY and his was THE WHO's TOMMY.

She's now 23 and she's introduced her fiance' to Broadway (he loves it) and my nephew introduced Broadway to his girlfriend (she loves it).

I'm responsible for a 'new' generation of Broadway attendees.
