Yankees and Broadway
Nov. 5th, 2009 07:07 am"Go Yankees!"
Popular catch phrase yesterday. I first heard it when I went to get something to eat for lunch. After ordering, the cashier asked me.. "Go Yankees?" I was thinking.. "Wah... yankees? Is he asking me if I want some kind of sauce on my food?" It took me a moment to realize that he was just showing his support to the Yankees, and he wanted me to do the same, so I played along. "Woo hoo! Go Yankees!"
Sure enough, the Yankees won last night. What is this.. like the 27th time they've won the World Series? I'm not that big of a baseball fan, but I do admire the Yankees as a team. New Yorkers are really proud of them too. I'm pretty sure when I get to the city today, I'll never hear the end of it. Speaking of which, they're going to have a celebration for the Yankees tomorrow. I think I'll go check it out.
For the past few days, I've watched two Broadway shows. There goes my money, I know. The good thing is that they discount the prices of the tickets by 50% on the day of the showing. I paid 60 dollars instead of the normal 120, and I still managed to get orchestra seats. Awesome if you ask me. Anyway, I watched the shows The Perfect Crime, and the Phantom of the Opera.
The Perfect Crime was only 30 dollars, and it's a great show for the price. I really had to follow the conversations closely so that everything made sense in the end. It's a really intricate story told using just 4 characters.
The Phantom of the Opera was great, as expected. I think most of the impact was taken away since I already knew the songs, the story, and I watched the movie. The movie does a good job following the play, but I think Phantom was really meant to be seen in a theater.
After those two, I STILL want to watch several plays. Avenue Q, 39 Steps, and Oleanna.
I thought I was trying to save money too.
So now I don't really have any plans today. I usually think up a plan the night before, but as soon as I got back to my aunt's house last night, I fell asleep. There's a 30% chance of rain today, so maybe I should plan on doing something inside, like go to a museum. Or watch another Broadway play.. >_>
