I won't make a habit of writing two entries in one day but tonight is an exception. I told you how we avoided queuing for 6 years in Times Square by buying form the Box Office, well after a rest, we headed back in for our Show. It is an expensive business, no denying. $100ph for the tickets, they wanted $65 for the cheapest bottle of wine across the road from the theatre (we had a glass) and intermission (?) drinks cost $30 but we did get souvenir mugs for that.
The show was fantastic. I have come to love the film so they had big shoes to dance in but they managed. Rob C would have loved the lights in the second act - 50 floods descended from the ceiling and did spectacular things. What would amaze Sydneysiders who must devote half a day or more to go to the theatre was that we were in our room at the Beacon less than 15 minutes later. Okay, we navigated correctly to the subway, caught the waiting train but it was a lesson in how transport should work. Hope the grandkids (????) get to see the same in Sydney one day.
Peter Stuyvesant housed returned soldiers in New York after WW2. I always liked the name of the smokes. I think it was different one. The things you learn on tours.
It is now midnight. We are brunching with a friend tomorrow at 10. Very civilised, like the city. Shame about the television.
Will post pictures tomorrow.
Location:The Ambassador, Broadway, NYC

Rob I can't see where you name the show, but $30 drinks sounds Wicked (no film though)
Aha. I was not cognisant of the title of the days missive, but thought you were on your way to another city!
