Broadway
Makes New York
Sing
Whenever
I think of a trip to New York City
whether for a vacation or just a short one or two-day visit I can't help but
think of Broadway and the delightful shows that await in these hallowed halls
of entertainment delight. paket tour thailand murah piranti travel, Broadway is the essence of New York to me. It can in turns be bawdy,
brawling, loud, rowdy, soft, romantic, comedic, and rip-roaringly hilarious.
Broadway has it all for those who are willing to look for their perfect fit.
The
problem with Broadway is that there are so many wonderful shows to see and such
limited time (for most of us) in which to see them. I don't even believe those
who live in New York City
have enough time in which to appreciate the artistic treasure trove that is
represented within this wonderful city that never sleeps. The truth of the
matter is that in order to properly enjoy all the theatrical offerings
available to you, you'd almost have to never sleep yourself.
Musicals
It
is important to remember that all shows are not available at all times. Check
to see if the show you wish to see will be playing during your visit before
getting your hopes up. On to the musicals, which are, by the way, my favorite
types of Broadway entertainment. Chicago
the Musical, Forbidden Broadway (this one offers an hilarious 'spoof' of
Broadway), Jersey Boys, Naked Boys Singing (yes, they are!), Phantom of the
Opera, Rent, Wicked, and Mama Mia!
Comedies
Broadway
is well known for thumbing its nose at convention as well as for letting it's
hair down and having a good ole time. The same holds true for the Broadway
theatre of today. Comedies and musicals on Broadway are not mutually exclusive
so some of the hilarity mentioned below will have some degree of song and dance
(well most likely quite a bit of both but you will definitely laugh). Let the
comedies begin! I Love You, Your Perfect, Now Change (seriously, that's the
name we're already off to a great start on the road to laughter). Dog Sees God:
Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead (I think someone's been peeking in my kids
windows at night-this one is actually off Broadway but I thought it bore
mentioning with such a catchy title and all). Spamalot. paket wisata malaysia murah piranti travel, This one is rising star
with rave reviews by critics and a fairly good attendance rate so buy your
tickets early! The Producers, which was recently made as a motion picture and
The Little Dog Laughed round up my list of comedies. I hope you've seen
something here that looks like a good laugh; I know I've seen a few!
Drama
While
many people think of the happy go lucky song and dance that is often associated
with Broadway there is a deep dramatic flare to the offerings as well.
Particularly some of the musicals that carry with them profound messages about
music, life and love-among these wonderful icons of Broadway are the following:
Rent- a very La Boheme meets modern life musical that is probably one of the
best Broadway musicals I've ever seen and I'm a huge fan of Phantom. Les
Miserables is another Broadway drama that really needs no introduction, Grey
Gardens is perfect for anyone who fears becoming a cat lady or spinster, A
Chorus Line, Chicago, The Color Purple, Phantom of the Opera (my personal
favorite), and The Vertical Hour (this is a new one let's hope it lasts).
There
are a few family friendly musicals and plays that bear mentioning among them
are the following: Wicked, The Phantom of the Opera (may be a little
frightening for younger children during certain scenes), Tarzan, The Lion King,
Mary Poppins, Momma Mia!, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Beauty and the
Beast. You know your child best and what will or will not be frightening for
them or possibly lead to uncomfortable questions for you, view most Broadway
plays with that in mind.
Broadway
is a great way to really enjoy what New
York has to offer its visitors for entertainment.
While it would hardly be possible to see each and every show that might attract
your attention it is quite possible to make the time to view the one that is
most appealing to you and it will be quite an experience for the entire family. paket liburan murah ke belitung piranti travel,
