My friend, Marcy Kerby and I, took a fun trip up to New York this weekend. We took the train up Friday morning and came home late Saturday night. We weren't there very long, but we packed a lot of excitement into our 2 days! We saw 2 Broadway shows: Newsies and Evita. These were two of the hottest shows in town and so we were glad to get tickets. Our seats for both shows were fabulous. Newsies was full of music and dancing and the cast was bursting with energy. I was excited to see 3 former contestants on "So You Think You Can Dance" in the 15 member cast--Evan, Jess and Alex. We stayed after the show to have them sign our playbills. They were all very kind and funny and you could tell they were basking their stardom! Evita was very dramatic and the costumes and staging were amazing. Ricky Martin played the role of the narrator, "Che". We tried to get his autograph after the matinee, but they explained that he stays at the theater to get ready for the evening performance. Marcy was very disappointed!
We found lots of fun boutiques for shopping. We made a few purchases and also enjoyed window shopping at the high-end stores. We stopped at Bergdorf Goodman to see how the other half lives and saw some Jimmy Choo heels for $3,100.00! Yikes!
We had several star sightings as we walked around downtown. We saw Martin Sheen in Penn Station; Matthew Broderick signing playbills on Broadway; and the guy from Will and Grace coming out from his performance in "Once." ( I guess I need to google his name and stop calling him that guy!)
Marcy and I headed off to window shop on 5th Avenue.
New York is taxi cabs, traffic, honking horns and pushing crowds. But I love the energy and excitement!
Did we buy anything here? No.
Didn't buy anything here either.
I just loved this shop! Book stores are a dying breed.
It's that "Will and Grace" guy!
Matthew Broderick was looking a bit frumpy AND grumpy. We were not about to ask him for a photo!
Evita was playing right at the Marriott Marquee theater where we stayed.
