What would a trip be to New York City be without a trip to broadway?
We jumped on the metro and subwayed it to 51st Street and found a typical American diner to eat.
One thing we have figured about eating and drinking in America is that everything is so BIG...I ordered a Mojito cocktail and it was delivered in a supersized glass...
...I was so pleased that it didn't have super sized alcohol to go with it, otherwise I wouldn't have made it to the show, lol. We walked down Broadway...
...to the Gershwin Theatre...222 west 51st street...
The Gershwin Theatre is where the Tony Awards for excellence in Broadway Theatre are held every year, unfortunately they didn't roll out the red carpet for our arrival
...but we were not disappointed. The theatre was gorgeous, the foyer had a theatre hall of fame...
...and a photo wall of fame...as well as a large number of historical theatre displays to browse through.
We entred the theatre and it was packed. The theatre seates just under 2000 people in three tiers of seating.
We were lucky enough to jag seating 9 rows from the stage.
The set, stage props, costume, lighting and effects were all very elaborate and the Actors and singing truly first class. We loved the show and after two and a half hours of fabulous entertainment we wanted to do it all over again, we didnt want to leave...to head back to reality...
It is a beautiful city at night, so alive, so bright, and so very glitzy....it is so true when they say its a city that never sleeps, if only we didn't require sleep we could see so much more of it. It definitely takes more than a week to experience all NY has to offer...we will be back.
