O What A Night!
I am having an excellent week. On Tuesday night, my friend Francesca and I went to the City to do some sight-seeing because of the beautiful weather. When we got to Times Square, we were met with security and photographers everywhere. I came to find out that it was opening night of “Lestat,� Elton John’s new musical. I wrote about that show in a previous blog, it wasn’t worth seeing! Anyway, I saw Cindy Adams, the gossip columnist and Sir Elton John.
It was cool, I like 5 feet from real celebrities! That night we went and saw “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels� starring Tony winners Jonathon Pryce and Norbert Leo Butz. The show was down right hysterical. After the show, we got autographs.
Wednesday was a usual school day, I went to class, did some learning, and had dinner with some friends. Yesterday was a typical school day as well, but last night was Opening Night of “The Wedding Singer� a new musical on Broadway. It was fun, I got to meet several famous people. Marissa Jaret Winokur, famous for creating the role of Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray, was the nicest person.
Kathleen Marshall, who directed “The Pajama Game� revival starring Harry Connick, Jr. was such a lovely person, very appreciative.
Howie Mandel was running late, so he wasn’t really in the mood to be interviewed, but I got my picture!
Since the show got out early, I had time to take pictures of other people currently on Broadway. Julia Roberts is doing a play, but I have heard it was awful, so I stayed away. I saw the crowd awaiting her outside the theater, and decided it wasn’t worth killing myself to try to stand there when she doesn’t sign autographs anyways. The theater right next to it, however, is where David Schwimmer is staring in a play with Tim Daly, so I got their pictures instead.
I was walking across the street when Julia came out, and was glad I wasn’t standing waiting for her autograph because it was an absolute zoo. Today, Francesca and I are probably going to roam around the City because the weather is so gorgeous and that just makes me want to sing! "Say you'll share with me, one love, one lifetime. Let me lead you from your solitude, say you'll need me with you, beside you. Anywhere you go, let me go too, that's all I ask of you!"
