My December 2018 Trip To NYC#1
Posted: 9/18/18 at 11:34pm

Hello Possums.   I'm headed to the Big Apple from December 21-24, 2018.  I've booked my flight and accomodations (near my favorite show).  I have the chance to see five shows.  Although I haven't bought my tickets, my show picks are:  "The Cher Show", "Prom", "Beautiful", "Torch Song" and...drumroll please.... "Chicago".  I saw "The Cher Show" in Chicago during its 2nd preview.  I plan on seeing "Prom", after seeing Beth Leavel at a caberet show here in Austin.  "Beautiful":  because of Evan Todd.  I saw "Torch Song" during its off Broadway run in 2017.  I can only see "Chicago" once during my trip, as there are some wonderful shows out there.  I plan on visiting "Marie's" as much as I can.  

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

I'll be in NY the same weekend, though staying until the 25th. Is Chicago atill worth seeing after all this time? I last saw it on the tour in either '98 or '99 & it was my big obsession back then.

My last trip to NY was 4 years ago. Right now I've booked Mean Girls, Dear Evan Hansen, & The Band's Visit & for X-mas eve Magic Flute at the Met Opera. Having a hard time deciding which of the other new shows - especially ones that haven'y opened yet - will be worth my time & $$$.

(Faints)  Of course Chicago is worth it.  The show has added new cast members.  I alwAys have a swell time.  Since I have already seen Torch Song, I may see Anastasia in its place.
