The last time I saw a show was "Kinky Boots" on Broadway last May.
At the time, Brendon Urie of Panic! At the Disco was starring. That is my favorite band, so I was entering the ticket lottery every single day. On May 30, I found out I won tickets for the evening show the next day! I begged my mom to let me go, and she bought me the tickets as my birthday present, since my birthday was in a few days.
Brendon Urie as Charlie Price
I went with my boyfriend, and it was a great experience. We had box seats, so we were right up to the action. It was also my boyfriend's first Broadway show, which made it a lot of fun.
Aside from my favorite singer being in it, the show itself was fantastic. "Kinky Boots" is such a fun and uplifting show. When I saw the show, my dad was in the middle of what would be a month-long hospital stay due to chemotherapy complications. For two hours and 20 minutes, I forgot all of that. That is what I love about theatre. It is so nice to have that escapism, even for a short period.
Brendon Urie did a great job as Charlie Price. His rendition of "Soul of a Man" was one of those truly electrifying theatre experiences that are so rare. He was not the only good thing in the show, though. J. Harrison Ghee as Lola was hilarious and heartwarming. The ensemble was fantastic. Overall, this show is fun, but also emotional and moving. Cyndi Lauper's pop score is bright and brings so much to the story. In fact, before I saw the show, back when it first opened on Broadway, I listened to the cast album frequently.
"Kinky Boots" is a great show that honestly can appeal to anyone. It is captivating with a wonderful message: "You change the world when you change your mind".
Our view of the stage!
It was a great day! And some random guy asked to take our picture. We have a pretty unique look!
Theatre is just theatre, except when it's not. What? That's right, theatre isn't just on Broadway - it's on our TV screens, too. "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" on the CW is my favorite TV show and honestly one of the funniest shows currently airing (the other funniest show is NBC's " The Good Place "). But what is it? It's a dark comedy/musical show. Isn't that great? A musical, on my TV, every week. I love it! It's so funny, and so twisted. It chronicles Rebecca Bunch's ( Rachel Bloom , whose Youtube channel alone is hysterical, but pretty NSFW, so be careful!) journey with mental illness after she uproots her big city life to move to California to chase after the man of her dreams, Josh Chan ( but she didn't move here for Josh ). The show also features a great cast of singing talent, including Broadway stars such as Tovah Feldshuh, Patti LuPone , Santino Fontana, Lea Salonga, Josh Groban and more. The songs are hilarious, wri...
I am SO excited. This Saturday, I'm going to see " Hello, Dolly! " I cannot wait. Ever since they announced that Bernadette Peters and Victor Garber were going to be in it, my mom and I knew we HAD to go. My mom has been a Victor Garber fan since she listened to " Godspell " for the first time when she was 13. And Bernadette Peters...I mean, she's Bernadette Freaking Peters . I mean, Bette Midler is Bette Midler, and yes, she truly took charge of the stage when she won that Tony. It was incredible, I'm not denying that. But Bernadette Peters, to me, is everything. It's just so exciting! I can't think of the words to say, because I'm just SO EXCITED! And, of course, Victor Garber. I love "Godspell" too, thanks mom. I don't love him nearly as much as my mom does, though, but I don't think anyone does. And Gavin Creel is in it, a man I have had a crush on for quite some time - I had both a "Thoroughly Modern Mill...
It’s a lot of fun to head to New York and catch a Broadway show. But with the average cost of a single tickets going for about $120, add in travel and food and things can add up quickly. Luckily, you don’t have to go to NYC for a Broadway caliber show. You can see one here without paying top prices and traveling very far. Here are five great theaters to see a play in New Jersey. 1. State Theatre New Jersey (New Brunswick, NJ) This old vaudeville theater located in Central Jersey, has an array of programming (this reads a bit like a press release. A little boring) including Broadway shows. Built in 1921 by the theater and cinema designer Thomas W. Lamb, it was revitalized into a performing arts center in the 1980s. Each year, State Theatre presents their Broadway Series, which features touring productions of hit musicals like Beautiful: The Carole King Musical and Fiddler on the Roof . You can see concert and stand up at the 1800-seat-venue. ...
