Yesterday was a beautiful New York day. Is it weird to be nostalgic for something you’ve never had?
Kristin, her parents, and I took the train in from Long Island. We made our way down to the sea port to stand in line for twofer tickets to a show. I didn’t really care what we saw as long as it wasn’t something like Shrek. I stood outside as I didn’t really understand this whole ticket process and didn’t want anyone (Kristin) to yell at me. They came out with the tickets and told me we had front row tickets for Hair. I was pretty excited!
We killed 8 hours walking around the city in the freezing cold, ducking into several places just to warm up for a few minutes.
It was time for the show. I’ve never been to a Broadway show. The theater was a lot smaller than I expected. Having been to a couple of touring shows at new theaters, I guess I expected the same. We found our seats on the front row. The stage was maybe three feet away.
The curtain dropped to the opening song, “Age of Aquarius”. For the next couple of hours I watched the stage transfixed on the actors. They were so incredible. There was audience interaction. We were given daisies. The show was wonderful. At the end the cast invited us on stage to dance to “Let the Sunshine In”. Kristin and I went up and danced and clapped and laughed. It was so much fun! What a great first show. There really is no place like New York.
