#27–Watch a Broadway show in NYC

I landed in the concrete jungle, the big apple, or New York City with my travel partners Justin, Lynn, and Helder. This was a really exciting trip for us because none of us have ever been here!

There were two items on my list that I could cross off here and who wouldn’t want to spend some time in New York just for the fun of it? Justin purchased a package through a charity and worked his magic to make it work for all of us.

The first full  day we were there we decided to hit Broadway. Lynn and Helder were kind enough to wait in line for tickets while Justin and I found a washroom and bought a 2G network card. Rock of Ages was our pick and I have to admit it was the most amazing show! I was laughing throughout the entire show and sometimes laughing so hard I was crying. It was fun and energetic and didn’t really want it to end. I tried to take more pictures in the theatre but got in trouble a number of times so decided to stop.

After the first night we got a little Broadway happy and ended up seeing Chicago and Peter and the Stargazers. Both were extremely good but I should have brought my glasses so I could actually see facial expressions on the stage.

Overall, this had to be one of my favourite items on the big list! Crossed it off three times.
