I recently visited New York City for the first time and saw my first Broadway show? Have you ever visited New York?
I have! Along with London's West End Broadway is considered to be the highest level of commercial theater. What did you think of Broadway?
I loved the Theater District and I loved the show "Wicked" which I saw with my two daughters. What is your favorite show?
I saw the Book of Mormon. It is a comedy about two Mormon missionaries who travel to Africa to convert the locals. It is very funny!
That sounds like a good show! There are so many choices right now that I don't even know what I would choose if I were to return.
The great majority of Broadway shows are musicals but there are some non-musical acts as well!
I do love the musicals! Just being in the theater is an experience as they are so beautiful. I also enjoy a great pre-show dinner in the district! lol
