George C Posted June 1, 2023 Author #1626 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Before we left New York we had breakfast at Ellen’s stardust dinner, Ellen’s is staffed by out of work broadway singers and dancers , they constantly perform from morning until past midnight, only problem is line to enter is sometimes a block long. Have been going here for more than a decade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted June 9, 2023 #1627 Share Posted June 9, 2023 If you like creepy/psychological thriller stuff, I HIGHLY recommend Grey House!!!! It's a "straight play" meaning not musical, but it is amazing!! I'm still thinking about it days later! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great actress Laurie Metcalf is the star. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trivia addict Posted March 26 #1644 Share Posted March 26 For anyone who has not yet seen Hamilton ( in person) I highly recommend you make an effort to see it. Over 50 years and countless Broadway plays in my background, it is my all time favorite. I do suggest though, that before seeing it, you do a little background reading on his life. The music and acting is wonderful, but the dialogue is rapid. By knowing his story it is easy to follow. And if you are in the City beforehand, one of the downtown Hamilton walking tours is very educational and fun! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to add that his grave is in Trinity Church in wall st area short walk from World Trade Center memorial. How is leg room in that theater ? Will definitely get a aisle seat if we go l will make up my mind soon , never heard anything bad but never heard anything bad about Wicked and I didn’t care for it , but liked 90 plus percent of the broadway shows we have seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did exactly that -- walked over to Trinity Church after visiting the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. Not only is Alexander Hamilton buried there, but the grave of his wife, Eliza, is at the foot of Alexander's grave. And the grave of Eliza's sister Angelica -- a person very important in Alexander's life and in the show -- is nearby. Fans of the show know this from one of the lyrics in "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story," as Eliza sings to Hamilton: "I rely on Angelica While she's alive, we tell your story She is buried in Trinity Church near you...." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trivia addict Posted March 26 #1647 Share Posted March 26 Yes, the Schuyler/ Hamilton history is fascinating. There are many good biographies or historical novels of them all that make good reading. Can’t really judge the seating for you, it’s a big theater, but of course, lots of seats! And pictures posted, make me want to take another tour all over again!

George C Posted March 26 Author #1648 Share Posted March 26 I should have posted this last year , we bought tickets to Some like it hot, at the last minute through tkts , tickets were terrible for leg room , I would have been in pain , we talked to a usher to see if we could buy better seats , he checked with management and they put us in a private booth ( that could seat 6) at no extra cost , this kink of booth is normally vip , bottom line it never hurts to ask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenquixote66 Posted March 29 #1649 Share Posted March 29 Like they do it in the movies is an Off Broadway show that will close in two days but if anyone is in NY this weekend and looking for an interesting evening This play starring Laurence Fishburne is my suggestion.
