I always say that if I believed in reincarnation, I'd come back as a Broadway star. Too bad I don't believe in reincarnation, therefore I AM a Broadway star, or am going to be.
As you read on my NYC2DEW list, I want to see 3 shows. I already have plans to do the student ticket lottery thing at 6am one morning in order to alleviate the financial burden this addiction will potentially have on me.
Mary Poppins- While standing in line for what we thought would end with tickets to either Chicago, West Side Story or Phantom of the Opera, Caroline, her little sister and I met the most charming fellow who I named the "Mary Poppins Brand Ambassador." He went by John for short. He was an actor who worked for TKTS and it was his job to provide advice and information to everyone standing in line. I instantly liked this person because of his extensive knowledge of Broadway, the fact that he was an actor and his ability to tolerate mine and Caroline's antics for a solid 10 minutes in the rain. After John's "BEST M.P. PITCH EVER" we were sold.
The show was unbeleivable. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a spectacle. The elaborate sets and costumes were always changing and there was lots of magic/trap doors/etc. To avoid ruining it for anyone, I'll just say there was some "defying gravity" sort of stuff. So cool.
