NYC Birthday Trip Theatre

New York trip for my birthday. Saw three plays, enjoyed food in Little Italy. Ate at Benitos and Benitos II.

Hamlet

Jude Law was phenomenal in Hamlet. He had such high energy in his performance. Love the sets and the costumes. His "To Be or Not To Be" speech was very moving with the snow falling. After the show we waited at the stage door for him. He was very gracious to sign autographs.

Wicked

Wicked is untold story of the witches of Oz and is based on the best-selling novel by Gregory Maguire. Before Dorothy dropped into, Wicked tells the story of two unlikely friends who end up as the Wicked witch of the West and Glinda the good Witch.

Gershwin Theater

Phantom of the Opera

I had seen Phantom before but I still enjoyed the score, romance and timeless story of seduction and despair. The Night Belongs to Phantom which is now celebrating twenty years as Broadway's Most Haunting Love Story. Winner of seven 1988 Tony® Awards including Best Musical, Andrew Lloyd Webber's masterwork is the longest-running musical in Broadway history.

The Majestic Theatre

How Does Your Garden Grow

A New Garden by Emily Dickinson

New feet within my garden go,
New fingers stir the sod;
A troubadour upon the elm
Betrays the solitude.

New children play upon the green,
New weary sleep below;
And still the pensive spring returns,
And still the punctual snow!

S.O.S Spring Migration

2009 Spring Safari celebrating 25 years of South Carolina's State Dance, the Shag, since 1984. Had a great time with friends, dancing, and eating seafood and ice cream at Sweet Treats.

This was also the 15th year for SOS Parade. The parade is always fun watching floats created by different Shag clubs, vintage cars, and clever characters. Catching throws of beads and candy brings out your inner child.
