New York City Theatre Trip 2014

Saw three fantastic shows (two revivals and one new musical), "A Gentleman’s Guide”, "Cabaret" and "Les Miserables". If you are in NYC, would recommend seeing one of these shows or all of them!

“A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder” is a new comedy musical that is insanely funny and has been described as what might happen if Sweeney Todd were a house guest at Downton Abbey.  “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder” has been nominated for ten Tony  one of which is Best Musical. The show is located at the Walter Kerr Theatre on 219 W 48th St, New York, which originally opened as The Ritz In 1921. It was once used as a movie theater and then was restored back to a theatre in 1983.

The Broadway revival of  "Cabaret" at Studio 54 is the Roundabout' Theatre company’s revival of the Kander and Ebb's classic. Studio 54 is located 254 West 54th Street built in 1927 as The Gallo and was intended to house opera productions. The venue is probably best known for its world-famous disco in the 1970s.  Michelle Williams starring as Sally Bowles in her Broadway debut and Alan Cumming reprising his Tony Award-winning role as the Emcee.

“Les Miserables”, the classic mega-musical, returns to Broadway in a brand new re-imagined production.
