Hello from 37,000 feet!

Today I don’t have a show and since it’s Wednesday, Broadway has matinees. So, I am on my way for a day trip to see a show! I had really hoped to catch James Franco in Of Mice and Men before it closes this weekend but the show is sold out save for some of those $300+ premium seats. That’s just a bit ridiculous for me, so my second choice is the musical Rocky. Yes, based on the Sylvester Stallone film. The original music is by my favorite contemporary composers, Flaherty and Ahrens and I understand the last 15 minutes are some of the most incredible theater ever put on stage. The rest of the show has had issues. Still, I think it could be really cool to experience!

The real fun will be making it out of the City in time for a 6:50pm flight back to DFW out of Newark. I think I may try the train out of Penn Station for the first time today. That will be a new one for me. Normally I take the super convenient Newark Liberty Express bus from the Port Authority. Now that they keep making the last flight out earlier and earlier, Broadway day trips are more challenging. Still worth it!

We had a great performance of Tarzan last night. Still a few tech issues, but the cast gets better and tighter every show. With a seven week run, I hope I can find more depth in the character. Really try to solidify some acting choices.

Anyway, I am excited to see whatever show I happen to see today. Any moment in a darkened theater is truly a gift.
