Part Three Posted! Click HERE!
Sometimes, it's really nice to get away and do something NOT theme park or roller coaster related...and that's exactly what we did this week!
Short version of the story.... Reed, Stacey, Renee and I are all big fans of the movie "Newsies" (Yes, I know, that's gay...), and when we heard there was a version of it coming to Broadway, we just HAD to go see it! (Still very gay!) It was originally only supposed to be on limited run for twelve weeks, so we booked our tickets as soon as we could! (It's now gone open-ended since the show is THAT good!)
Along with Newsies, we noticed another musical, Evita, that we were all fans of was also opening it's revival (yup, more gay), and we just had to check that out as well.
We hit up some other stuff along the way including hanging out in New York City drinking beer (not gay), going to a showtunes sing-a-long bar (OMG REALLY GAY), and doing Scott's Pizza Tour (totally not gay...we met his girlfriend!)
Anyway, here's some pics...I know a lot of this will seem really random...but that's kind of how the entire trip was!
Enjoy!

Since we're being gay this week...eating at a "cock haus" seems to be fitting!
So we had legit Yakitori in New York City! Yakitori Totto on 55th between 7th & 8th! Great stuff!
Ok, going to admit that I'm totally "theater geeking out" right now! Been so looking forward to seeing this show that not even Derek riding Skyrush is going to make me jealous!

Here's some video clips from Newsies. The show was so high energy and amazing! You don't need to be a closet fan of the original movie (although it helps) to LOVE this show! The audience was LOVING every moment of it. I don't think I've heard an audience that enthusiastic at a show in a VERY long time!
