So very expensive to eat and stay in the city though. But I think if I could plan such a trip with a daughter or two it would be money well spent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221281884226879638.post-6004191890614904922014-10-02T10:37:35.281-03:002014-10-02T10:37:35.281-03:00Yes! Success!
What a wonderful mother-daughter ad...Yes! Success!<br /><br />What a wonderful mother-daughter adventure you had, Sybil! The only time I saw a musical was way back in middle school, we took a class trip to New York and saw "Fiddler on the Roof" on Broadway. We sat way up in the nosebleed section and the actors were tiny dots way down on the stage. But it was rather exciting, You can't beat live performances on stage and it seems to me that musicals, like operas (seen quite a few operas), combine music and acting in an especially appealing way.

We went there quite a bit before shows when Kait was young.<br /><br />I'd love to go to a screening of "Grease" or "Mama Mia". Kait did "Rocky Horror Picture Show" a few times. I gather that is quite the experience.<br /><br />Elvis ? Nope. But I did see the Beatles' "Hard Day's Night" TWELVE times !

We had a fantastic train trip to "the big city", toured the CN tower, went out for spaghetti supper, swam in the hotel pool....then he fell asleep half way through the show :)<br />I've always wanted to go to the special screenings of movies (like "Grease") where the audience joins in and sings all the songs. Did you ever watch the old Elvis movies? When I was a teen, I used to stay up late on Sat nights and watch those things...loved them. Nothing like bursting into song at a moment's notice!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05042081996333393969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221281884226879638.post-83531031932729187022014-09-28T19:04:24.203-03:002014-09-28T19:04:24.203-03:00This was a "Line of Credit" trip.

We almost didn't go coz we heard what an awful show it was. So we went with low expectations and I think that made a difference. We were both very moved by it. I went sobbing to the lobby at intermission and bought the damn CD right then are there. We saw "Lion King" years ago but on the same weekend as "Mama Mia" (I told you I was a musical nut!). We loved "MM" not so much "Lion King". Again, the latter had been raved about and my expectations were very high.<br /><br />Caught "Sweeney Todd" on PBS the other night. Performed with the N.Y. Philharmonic Orchestra. Not the full show but close to it ... and FREE ! Here's a link to it: http://video.pbs.org/video/2365329433/<br />They also did "Company" too. I love Stephen Sondheim. BTW Stephen Colbert was in the cast ! I'm a big fan of his. <br /><br />Sybilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944601364218561984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221281884226879638.post-5868045396445008832014-09-28T17:22:01.325-03:002014-09-28T17:22:01.325-03:00I, errr, didn't follow the links to the songs ...I, errr, didn't follow the links to the songs YET. Wicked is the one I really really want to see, but it hasn't happened. And when visiting NYC with Kiah the tickets were way too expensive and we couldn't afford them. Always wanted to see the Lion King. Desperately. Miss Saigon did come to a college near here and we did see it. However, for some weird reason, I didn't love it, even though so many did. Not sure why. My mom loved it.

I am in the musical camp! I...Raising hand wildly. I am in the musical camp! I am in the musical camp for sure! First, am so envious of you for getting to see both of these musicals. Would love to have enjoyed them--and some day may. When our youngest was 12 both of the grandmas took us all to Toronto to see Phantom. It was stunning. Chris is the more musical-loving one of the kids; he and I were transfixed. I wrote a four page spiritual essay describing exactly what it meant in spiritual terms and shared it with my mom. She stared blankly back and said, "Wha...? You got all of THAT out of it?" Anyway could write a four page essay about the wonders of musicals, but won't do that here on your blog. Really, really enjoyed this, Sybil! Glad you had a good time, even though you wouldn't want to live there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
