Day 2 in NYC

There isn't a lot to tell about day 2 that anybody would find very interesting. It was one of our lazy days. We slept in, did a little shopping on Time Square, then set out to find tickets to Broadway shows. We ended up getting a schedule for all of the shows that week, so then we had to do some picking and choosing. I really wanted to see Chicago and the Phantom of the Opera, and mom really wanted to see Jersey boys, but it was sold out until Tuesday night (Day 4.) The guy who hands out info about the shows told us that student tickets are really cheap, but they are sometimes hard to come by and can only be purchased at the theater box office. Also, 1 student ID gets 2 tickets at student price. Right on! Guess that warm water exercise class at the community college paid off in a number of ways! (Always take your student ID when traveling, people. Always!) All of a sudden, it was an option to go to more than one show. We decided to see Chicago that night and Phantom the next night.

Okay, so here is where it all gets really awesome! We got 2 tickets to see Chicago on Broadway for about $55! Oh yeah, and they were front row seats! Damn! Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child was playing the role of Roxy at the time, and at the end, she sang right to me and tossed me a fake rose from her bouquet! So freaking cool! The orchestra was sitting right in the middle of the stage and they hardly used any props. Very unique. Also, holy cow there are some thin, tallented, and good looking individuals rockin' Broadway! After the show, I couldn't wait to see the Phantom!

Even though it's fuzzy and weird, I love this picture because it looks like my mommy loves me!
