Friday morning we attended a fascinating acting workshop (did you know that if two people concentrate and focus hard enough, they can actually share thoughts? True story!) and then headed out for some MAJOR shopping time...
(On the left we overload an elevator, and on the right we march on Little Italy via Canal street)
We couldn't take any pictures of the back rooms or underground black markets we visited, but whew, were they ever shopped!
That night we headed to our seats right down front for The Lion King. It was one heck of a spectacle! The show was the movie, of course, but the costumes and design were incredible.
(Jungle boys Steve and Mike on the PROWL.)We also toured the Lincoln Center, and I thought it was great, but people were getting pretty tired of walking so it didn't make a huge impression. The tour did, however, (and I honestly never thought I'd say this) make me want to see the revival of South Pacific. It looks marvelous!
Our last day of shows was packed -
- we started with the "Wicked Backstage" Tour, which made most of us really want to see Wicked (this is a dress of Glinda's), and then we scampered over to the half-price ticket booth to get tickets for a matinee show. (Seriously. Scampered.)Atty and I and a small group got tickets for the one we'd been waiting for - Xanadu! (Yes! Based on the movie! With Olivia Newton John! And roller skates!) It was silly, and terrible, and so awesome! I can't wait for some theatre here in Utah to put it up. I totally bought the book! (And a keychain.)
As we were leaving the matinee it started to rain, and we got a little wet.
We finally dried off and got spiffied up for our last show - Legally Blonde: the Musical. Again, I wasn't expecting much - and I fell completely in love.
I really, really liked the show, too.
Atty, her husband (not pictured), her sister, and her neice and I all went to Carnegie Deli on our last night for faaaaabulous cheesecake, and for some reason the waiter started us off with pickles. Um, OK.
Sunday we got up and packed, then left for one more day of sightseeing - we walked through Central Park, and then made our way back to the hotel through a series of street fairs. New York rocks.
We eventually got all the luggage loaded on the bus, 
headed to the airport, and waited on the tarmac for three hours before we took off.
And in closing:
When in New York, watch out for falling all-kinds-of-stuff!
