So I had a good 21st birthday and a great break.
I ended up seeing a total of 14 shows (which is where are my money went, apparently. That and voice lessons. But to be fair about the shows, only once did I pay above student/rush/lotto prices and $25 average for a decent - if not amazing - seat in a Broadway theatre for a great piece of art is NOT a bad deal.)
Shows I saw: HAIR (x5), Race, Memphis, Fela!, Next to Normal, Superior Donuts, In the Heights (x2), In the Next Room, and Finian's Rainbow.
It was a nice mix of shows that I haven't seen, show's that I have seen, Plays, and Musicals. I would have liked to see (to have seen? gotta check the grammar on that) A Little Night Music and Rock of Ages (again) and perhaps Next to Normal once more but that's okay, I did well. Hopefully all those shows will be open next time I'm home.
Tonight I saw in the heights. To be honest at first I wasn't even sure I wanted to see it. Last week with Iva it was kind of... eh, it had lost something, that feeling, that vibe, that was so alive a few years ago when In the Heights was fresh and new. Also There was an understudy for Mandy, and she was the main reason I was going since I won't be able to make it to her last show. Tonight though, tonight was different. Although I was sad Luis was out, the show itself was great. The energy was wonderful, it was vibrant, it was fun, it was emotional, it was great. It was sad to say goodbye to Mandy, she's so sweet. Hopefully whatever show she's in next will be awesome. I'm happy for her but sad to see her go. And the others. Oh man, Corbin Bleusnavi is coming soon. I'm nervous. I've met him a couple times though and he's super nice.
Alright, I'm sure I have more to say but it's time to watch season 5 of weeds and go to bed... oh and hunter parish is beautiful.
