Things to do in New York City, New York (NY): The Best Performances
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

This church is a great alternative to St. Patrick’s Cathedral. It’s beautiful interior is very welcoming and the pastor gives a very meaningful homily. Though a Catholic church, everyone is invited and would benefit.

I was blown away by this show, which is based on a true story about a little town in Canada that rallied during 9/11 to host the stranded passengers from around the world. It is heart-warming & incredilbly uplifting!
3. Ain’t Too Proud

As a big fan of the Temptations and Motown groups in general, I was anxious to see Ain’t Too Proud. Those wonderful songs and talented cast made for an enjoyable experience. This is the fourth “jukebox musical” I’ve seen, and it’s much more dependent on the music than the acting of the other three. While everyone sings, the character of Otis does almost all the talking. Pretty thin plot, but if you’re going for the music, you won’t be disappointed.

Wow, this is truly powerful. The casting is perfect. The storyline is very intense, and exemplified by music which further enhances the scene. It is a Broadway musical which will stick with you, and you want to see it again and again. You leave the theater feeling that is exactly what Broadway is about. Great acting, music, storyline, that only Broadway can give. I have seen most of the musicals out right now, and this one is definitely at the top of my list!

First: this is A Trey Parker and Matt Stone production (South Park, Team America), so if you don’t know what that means - don’t buy tickets just yet. This is not for the easily offended, not for the PC police, and definitely not for those who pick and choose when Freedom of Speech is a constitutional right. Having said that, 9 Tony Awards -including one for best musical- and a Grammy can’t be wrong. The musical is hilarious, the cast is awesome, and Elder Cunningham’s role is praiseworthy to say the least. Scenery and costumes are great, but my greatest concern (which was seating) turned out not to be a thing. Although we were in the orchestra seats, I cam vouch for those elsewhere and the venue allows for great viewing from any direction. That means if you don’t need to shell out the big bucks to get a great theatre experience. Started and ended right on time, my wife and I both enjoyed it very much. Definitely recommended!

Saw Aladdin on Broadway and was NOT disappointed! While all the characters/actors were spot-on, Genie was by far the show/scene-stealer!! He was funny, quick, talented and his voice was incredible! This was my 7yr-old daughter’s (and husband’s for that matter) 2nd Broadway show (saw Frozen last summer) and Aladdin was just as magical (I mean there’s an actual FLYING CARPET) and just as memorable!!!
