A trip into the city for a broadway show yesterday has once again inspired me. I am in awe of the phenomenon that is a Broadway show. "Broadway" is talked about, sung about, movies are made about it...
I have been lucky enough to see 'Wicked', 'Annie', 'Evita', 'Kinky Boots' and 'Pippin' over the last year. Choose my favourite? Impossible.
Each time I go to a show I'm reminded how lucky I am to have this opportunity, how amazing it is to live on the doorstep of what is arguably the worlds greatest city. There is no better way to experience New York than to join the bustling throngs of people navigating Times Square and heading to a broadway show. The theaters are scattered around mid town, some small, some large, all have a personality and a life that is palpable once you are inside.
One of the marvels of Broadway is the anticipation that comes as the curtains rise. Every show I have seen has left me wanting more... The dedication of the casts, the detail of the production, the talent of the musicians and actors, the timing, the colour, the energy....the palpable delight of the audience, everything about it is wonderful.
If you can, at any time of your life, not just see but experience Broadway, then do.
As long as we are here and I am able, I will try to see as many shows as I can.
Lucky me.
