The past few days I spent in Manhattan. There is something about the city that is just magical. I brought S to the city, it was her first time (yes.. I brought her; as if I am such an experienced city girl). We got there in the afternoon, and after checking in to our chic and quaint hotel we got all ready to go to In The Heights (starring Corbin Bleu from HSM) on broadway. We stayed in the Upper West Side and decided to just walk from our hotel down to Times Square. Best idea ever. It's really not a terrible walk, and you see so much more than if you ride in the creepy subways.
We walked past the Manhattan Temple on 66th
We saw Columbus Circle and Trump Tower on 59th
Then, after a few short blocks we saw it.
The lights and glory that is Times Square.
Magic.
We walked around a bit, having a few hours to kill before our show.
Went to AE, M&M World, and to dinner with a view of the city.
Then we walked over to Richard Rogers Theater to get our tickets to the show.
We got our tickets and still had an hour to kill before it started, so we just decided to stick around the theater and take pictures.
While we were photo-shoot crazy we noticed this gentleman outside the doors to get into the theater. We started talking with him and he would go talk to other people then come back to us. We had a lovely conversation about where we were from, how long we were there, etc. We discovered he worked at the theater (yet we don't know his title, he never told us...we guessed producer)
He looked at our tickets before we went up to our seats and simply told us it was nice to meet us and to take care.
We climbed what seemed like 9 flights of stairs up to our seats on the very tip top of the theater.
3 minutes before the show started we saw our friend again. He came up to our seats and told us when he came back to follow him..
3 Songs into the show we saw him again and went down the stairs to the Mezzanine entrance to meet him. He then walked us to his seats to enjoy the rest of the show.
Box Seats RIGHT next to the stage.
We were so close we could see the microphones on the actors. It was incredible.
We hugged him and thanked him. He then gave us his number and email and told us to call him any time we were in New York and he would hook us up with other shows. Go backstage, have dinner with different casts, get really good seats, the works.
like I said.
Magic.
That was just day 1.
Pictures and day 2 to come later.
