Well, for those of you who are keeping up with my blog, you will have noticed I have not been so good about keeping it up to date. I had hoped to write more in the past week but life has started to move very fast for me over here and on top of all that, my mom was here visiting for a week. I will go into all the details of what is happening in my professional life over here soon, but first I want to share the adventures my mom and I had.
My Mom was in town for a week and left last Wednesday. In the six days that she was here we saw FIVE Broadway shows!!! Yes, we literally had a Broadway Musical Marathon the past week and never spent more than $30 a ticket. Here’s what we saw…. Legally Blonde, Mary Poppins, The Drowsy Chaperone, Spring Awakening, and Les Miz (with Lea Salonga and I got her autography afterward!) It is quite exhausting, but very possible to run around 2.5-1.5 hours before curtain and find great deals on tickets. Every theatre has their own policies and so I printed out a sheet with all the details and we literally ran from theatre to theatre to find which ones still had the discount ones available. The first night was the craziest since we got caught in a downpour … and we were very unprepared. We ended up going to Payless and buying boots and dry socks so that we weren’t completely miserable at the show. After that night the weather calmed down and we made sure to check the weather report before heading out.
For my birthday last Sunday we got up early to stand in line for Spring Awakening tickets, then went shopping in mid-town with my birthday money! After hours of shopping we went to dinner at Sardi’s (thanks to Jane & Mark L. for the gift certificate) and then went to Spring Awakening. Sadly, two of the leads were understudies … they were both good but hopefully I’ll get a chance to see it again with the original leads. Needless to say, it was quite a fun way to spend my first birthday in NYC!
I promise to post again asap to update on my intership and 2 new jobs that start this week!
I had coffee with your mom yesterday and she shared some of her New York stories,I am so glad that she could visit you and do all of the things that you did together. The shows all sounded terrific. I think I'd like to go fabric shopping there with her someday, wouldn't that be a hoot? Maybe one of us will win the lottery. . .I couldn't be happier than to have met up with you and your mom, you have both blessed my life and I'm looking forward to doing another show with her someday! Blessings on you, Erin
