oh mary!

my favorite part of new york city? tie between the museums and broadway. there is something to be said for getting all dolled up and feeling like you own the town. broadway was amazing. there is a reason those tickets cost a small fortuen. the production quality is unlike anything i've ever seen. from the time the curtain went up, i was mesmerized. i felt like a little kid, leaning forward in my chair in anticipation, my eyes wide with excitement, and a huge grin on my face the entire time. we saw mary poppins. spectacular. the sets, the costumes, the coreography and the orchestra. enchanting. the show started at 7, and we didnt leave until after 11 o'clock, but those four hours went by so quickly. ms. poppins flew a couple of times, flying through the crowd for the grand finale. bert had a song where he walked around the frame of the stage. walking up one side of the stage, then upsidedown on the top of the frame, and coming down the other side - all while singing a song - but what else would you expect from broadway?

here's laura and i after a long night of drinking:
or actually, we were just waiting for the subway on the way to the show. hee hee.

we couldnt get a picture of me all wide-eyed, but here's the next best thing:


bravo mary poppins, bravo.
