Yesterday, I got up at 5:00 am to be at The Conservatory for a 6:00 am departure for New York in order to see Mel Brook's newest show, Young Frankenstein. Boston Conservatory paid for almost everything--the $80 tickets and transportation to charter a bus, if we would just kick in $20--a fantastic deal. It was so great to be in the city again. Shannon and I went down to the Ground Zero Memorial. The last time I was there was 2003 and since that time, it is so hard to believe how little progress they have made with the gaping hole...
Young Frankenstein is JUST like the Gene Wilder movie. It was a little weird to have these characters break into song and dance...Igor and Frau Blucher were incredible. And it was fun to see Sutton Foster in another original Broadway cast, although her best scene was the first one in the hay wagon. It was great to see Roger Bart too, who was also in the original The Producers. After the show, we had dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant in Time Square. I love New York. Did I say that?
