Grant and I just returned from weekend in New York City, where we saw 5
different plays. In order of favorite we saw Rock of Ages, All My Sons, Wicked, The Little Mermaid and
Equus. We had an incredible time!! I can't say enough about this trip. Below are my thoughts on each play
*ROCK OF AGES - Great set list! The whole audience sang along and clapped the whole show. The songs were all from the 80's hair band era. I would love to see this show again!
*ALL MY SONS - Very little set/scenery but who needs it will acting like this. The story was interesting. Dianne
Wiest was
absolutly incredible. I have always enjoyed Patrick Wilson's work and he didn't disappoint. I'm not sure how much I would have enjoyed the play without these highly talented actors. And yes Katie Holmes, while not the best actor on stage, did a good job
*WICKED - Awesome music. This soundtrack is now on my
Ipod. The set and stage were neat to watch. I would
definitely see this musical again. BTW, this story is very different than the book.
*THE LITTLE MERMAID - The same great music from the movie with a couple of new songs. Kid friendly show. The alternating underwater and land transitions in the
musical were smoothly done. All of the sea creatures wore '
heelys' to simulate the glide of swimming.

EQUUS - Bizarre story. I did enjoy seeing Daniel Radcliffe. That's the only redeemable part of play.
