And This Is Why I Love NY....

Hooray for me, I finally saw a show! YES!!! I've officially arrived in the city. If you don't know, I love musical theatre. Love, love, love it! Is it cheesy? Sometimes. Is it realistic? Rarely. Does it require unbelievable talent? In a word, yes.
And what was my first show to see? Young Frankenstein. Ha! So, its not the most groundbreaking new musical to hit Broadway but it was very entertaining and I got to see it for the bargain price of $27! Woohoo! Granted I was in the balcony, but no big deal. I tried for the lottery tickets that allow you to be spit on in the front row, but I was not chosen.
We had a couple understudies but the female leads were there. This included Megan Mullaghly (from Will & Grace), Sutton Foster (from so many Broadway shows, so talented) and Andrea Martin (from My Big Fat Greek Wedding). I had forgotten Andrea Martin was in it and as soon as she walked on stage I wanted to yell, "Joppa!!!!" (how do you spell that?) She was hilarious!
Naturally, being the the theatre dork that I am, I waited by the stage door after the show. I care nothing for autographs, but it stalls the actors long enough to have a brief encounter. During the wait, I chatted with some girls standing behind me. They too had entered the lottery and won front row tickets. Both from Georgia, both lived in the city and one worked for 'The View'. How great is that? Now, I don't imagine many men out there watch that show. Anyway, she said all the women on the show are all genuinely nice people. (she gets to go over 'hot topics' with them in the morning) She gets to chat daily with Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Walters! Crazy! Anyway, we exchanged email addresses cause we're both theatre dorks and we said we'd try and go see some shows together. I like making new friend!

Funny moment: On the way home, a guy hopped on the subway with his zipper down. I was already in such a good mood from the musical I laughed out loud. Oops! Hope he realized it eventually!
