Broadway!

I have now seen two uh-mazing shows on Broadway. This first we saw was "Mary Poppins: The New Musical". It was "practically perfect" (the title of a song created specifically for the new musical). It was so uplifting and amazing. We bought discounted tickets at the TKTS stand on the day of the performance. The seats were in a really great spot; we had orchestra seating not too close to the front. This version of Mary Poppins featured a villain, who was quite scary. The highlight of the production was during the tapping performance to "Step in Time", when Bert tapped up the wall and then continued to tap and sing while upside down on the roof! Now that's talent, and he's from Australia.

The second musical we saw was tonight. It was my favourite musical of all time - "West Side Story". It was everything I expected. It was fabulous, it had quite a different feel to Mary Poppins. Mary Poppins didn't exactly feature dangerous weapons and gang violence. The dancing was absolutely brilliant.

I have now achieved my dream of seeing a musical on Broadway, not once but twice!

This will probably be my last blog from America, but I will be sure to give you a review of the holiday when I get back home.

Until next time,
