Too Much in One Night - New York Day 2 Pt.2

Wicked - On Broadway - New York City

Now it was time to get all dolled up and go to Broadway. The strike had ended a day before we arrived in New York and I was ecstatic that the lights were on in Broadway once again and we would get to see Wicked. I had long heard great reviews of Wicked and had always wanted to see it, my brother worked hard to get us last minute tickets and I am so thankful for that. James again was hesitant on going to a musical he wasn’t sure what to expect and although he was up for everything, in his head he thought it might not be too exciting. We stepped out of the New York subway in the middle of Time square and made our way to The Gershwin Theatre. The streets were crowded with people everywhere and we were running late but luckily we made it just in time and James even had time to stop for a bite to eat and go to the bathroom before the curtains opened. The show was absolutely everything I had expected and more and for James, it was a ton more than he expected. We loved the show and couldn’t stop talking about how funny and amazing it was. Definitely a great start to an even greater trip.
