When I started doing research for my trip to NYC in May I signed up for email alerts for discount Broadway tickets with Playbill.com. Every day I get a mailbox full of offers but none really piqued my interest...except the one I got today.
There's a new show opening called Boeing Boeing. It's a comedy and has a terrific cast, Christine Boransky, Bradley Whitfield (West Wing) and Kathryn Hahn (Crossing Jordan). As I scrolled down on the email I could hardly believe my eyes...tickest for $42! For a Broadway show...hey that's much better than the $178 for Jersey Boys.
Yes, we jumped on these tickets. Now we are going to see 2 shows while we're in the Big Apple. We'll see Altar Boyz (off Broadway) at the Saturday matinee and Boeing Boeing on Saturday night...OK, so we may experience a TOD (Theater Over Dose), but since it's been forever since seeing a NYC show I think we will survive!
Since we are going to two shows on Saturday dinner arrangements may get moved around a bit, but with only 3 nights in The City, we can't get to every restaurant we want to try in this one trip anyway....hmmmmm...makes a good arguement for another NYC trip!
Now onto a brush with Celebrity. A couple months ago while at Starbucks one Saturday with CL in walks Robert Irvine, the host/chef of Diner Impossible. You can imagine my surprise when at lunch today at Starbucks with mom in walks Robert Irvine! Two celebrity encounters with the same celebrity within a 4 month time frame and both at Starbucks! We said a brief hello and he was quite friendly saying hello and asking how our day was going.
Hmmmm...2 sightings maybe Hilton Head will be getting a new resident?????
