Broadway, Broadway!   Love to hear your stories of your romance with Broadway..........one of my favorites is the original production of Hello, Dolly at the St. James, 1964 or so........this was my date show and I saw it over 40 times with Carol Channing, Pearl Bailey, Ethel Merman,  Bibi Osterwald and lots of others.  One night it snowed,  and 44th. Street was deserted...........no cars!    My guy date and I decided to just dance down the street..........snow and all!   Total bliss.  And then into Sardi's for a drink.   There have been very few disappointments in all of these years of being in theatre and seeing shows in and out of town.   It is  kind of sweet to think that 44th. Street has looked the same for decades.   Happy new season.
