Hello! I wanted to come by here and talk about my recent time on Broadway a couple weeks back. This trip has been years in the making, but I was only able to make it happen this year as I thought I would go all out for my 25th birthday and celebrate being halfway through my 20’s in New York City. The last time I was in the city was way back in 2019 to which I squeezed 5 shows in three days. I’m from Washington State so it isn’t that easy of a trek, which is why I managed to squeeze 11 shows in a span of 7 days. I had four double show days, of which I loved. I prefer seeing shows from the front row because of the added immersiveness factor, not to mention just being so close to the actors that allows you to see and feel the show in a much more intimate manner. Most of the shows I saw on this trip were from the front row with the exception of Sweeney Todd. I go into ranking those seats towards the latter part of this post! Musical theater has helped me heal so much in the past and there wasn’t a better way of doing a “reset” than seeing shows back to back. I also wanted to utilize this post to disclose what I personally thought about each show I saw.
This will be a pretty extensive post so without further adieu, here we go!
Day 1
https://preview.redd.it/kubacnk0rn1d1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf56c01806fa9d74f5fb24f0bbc994412da3e94b
Hell’s Kitchen (matinee)
Thoughts: I came out of this show kind of realizing why it got the amount of Tony nominations that it got. It definitely caters to the masses as the plot was fairly easy to follow and my god were the actors STELLAR! Literal jaw drop when Shoshana Bean made her first entrance - a true icon in the flesh. I also wasn’t expecting to come out of this show crying as “No One” really got to me since I have such a close bond with my mom. Such a high energy show and it was the perfect show to start my week in the city!
Front Row thoughts: (AA106) I’m 5’9 and didn’t have to break my neck looking up except for when they were utilizing the very top most part of the towers downstage left. Good legroom as well.
Favorite Moment: Jade Milan’s debut as Ali! You can see the amount of support that the cast had for her and to think that this was her very first time doing it w/o any put-ins was beyond astounding. I was so honored to be in the house for her first principal performance!
Notable Mentions: Kecia Lewis - omg she is a star and I was blown away by how moving her performance was as Miss Liza Jane.
Stagedoor Experience: Not too large of a crowd and everyone was very respectful. Most of the ensemble came out to sign, but the only principals that came out were Jade and Kecia.
Other notes: This was a last minute decision and I regret none of it!

Lempicka (evening)
Thoughts: I was a lil confused ngl.. I personally just thought that the plot was all over the place but the cast was 10/10! I remember Amber Iman stating in an interview that they want the audience to NEED intermission and that's exactly how I felt after Act 1. I just felt like I needed room to breathe so I could also come into terms of what I just witnessed. I’ve seen several reviews saying that Eden was flat, but she was going all out on this performance.
Front (ish) Row thoughts: Second row on the aisle (B2) - cute lil interaction from some of the ensemble members. You also still get a full view of the stage. Only had to crane my neck up when they were using the topmost platform on stage.
Favorite Moment: Our Time gave me goosebumps. I like the big ensemble moments where you can literally feel their vibrato in your face!
Notable Mentions: Kyle Brown was on for Tadeusz Lempicki. ALSO Jimin Moon is so cute that is all thank u..
Stagedoor Experience: All the principals came out to sign plus a few members of the ensemble! Eden and Amber really took time with everyone.
Other notes: Love the quarter zip that they had available at the merch stand. Easily the most comfortable piece of merch from all the shows I’ve been to.
Day 2
https://preview.redd.it/9hk8cbb5rn1d1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=331b1279a99c93283bea1755b86834d7ea696146
Sweeney Todd - FINAL PERFORMANCE (matinee)
Thoughts: The energy in the theater for the final performance was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Everyone was just so excited and you could definitely feel it. Every seat had a reusable Sweeney tote bag as a token for the final show.
Seat Location & Thoughts: First row of the second mezz (MMEZZ A121) - Perfect view of everything. I was surprised that I could still see the facial expressions of everyone on stage.
Favorite Moment: Literally the entirety of the show! Sutton was such a comedic Mrs. Lovett.
Notable Mentions: Joe Locke!! Exceeded my expectations!
Stagedoor Experience: The craziest stagedoor experience on the trip. I believe people camped out for this closing stage door shortly after the performance began. Very crowded but everyone was mostly respectful. I believe only a few of the principals plus some of the ensemble came out to sign. Aaron, Sutton, and Joe did not.
Other notes: Aaron made a quick appearance at the stagedoor. Just kinda peeked his head out to wave and thank everyone for coming.
https://preview.redd.it/a706yds6rn1d1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71b32c2cc02f4afc13153dea20ce2f26993a721f
Titanique (evening)
Thoughts: I have never laughed so much at a show, but Titanique did just that! Dee was phenomenal! Very campy, kooky krazy!!
Front (ish) Row thoughts: Orchestra D107 - basically the third row but it felt like the front as there was an aisle directly in front of you that was used in the show. It’s also directly beside the spot where Celine makes her initial entrance. I got so much interaction from Celine in which at one point she sat on my lap and caressed my face!
Favorite Moment: The encore of MHWGO at the end of the show
Notable Mentions: Marcus Antonio and Anne Fraser Thomas were the absolute standouts for me in this show!
Stagedoor Experience: I highly debated stagedooring this show, to which I ultimately did but it wasn’t my favorite. I am really shy and the whole stagedoor was basically where the balounge was downstairs and it was mostly friends of the actors having their post show mingle with the cast. I was super shy to approach Dee and Lindsay. I ultimately decided not to interact unless they approached me, but was able to get Michael Williams to sign my poster and my program. Super nice dude and took the time to talk to me!
Other notes: It was a trek to get to the Daryl Roth from Sweeney. I didn't do any research to where it was but was a little surprised to find out that it was all the way by Union Square Park.
Day 3
https://preview.redd.it/fwxuksn9rn1d1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=100dfa12112e3e05f49b1a6b9499e0c6960cf34e
Chicago (evening)
Thoughts: I’ve seen Chicago three times (the international tour circa 2014) in Manila but was late to all three times which meant I missed All That Jazz each time. Glad to say I wasn’t late and was finally able to see it live! Robyn Hurder fits the role of Velma and I really love how much she made it her own!
Front Row thoughts: BB106 - You’re right in the heart of the action. The stage was low enough that I didn’t have to tilt my neck all too much. Also the legroom in the front row at the Ambassador is very ample.
Favorite Moment: All That Jazz but also Razzle Dazzle
Notable Mentions: Max Clayton and Michael Scirrotto - I’m just in awe of how beautiful these men are.. hehe
Stagedoor Experience: Bianca and Max Von Essen came out to sign. I was able to tell Bianca how she was my first Roxie Hart way back and how much of an honor it was for me to see her again and now on Broadway!
Other notes: N/A
Day 4
https://preview.redd.it/3licn1yarn1d1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=175781ed8fa1976a7eb2a59d61e79240376c9495
Back to the Future (evening)
Thoughts: Probably the most tech heavy show that I saw on this trip. I had seen the movie for the first time on my plane ride to the city a few days prior and I think it was a good idea to approach the musical with the context from the movie in mind. They had obviously altered a few of the notable parts of the plot to fit the stage adaptation better but I felt like it worked pretty well. The special effects on this show were absolutely amazing. Casey Likes has such a great stage presence.
Front Row thoughts: (Center Orch A111) Absolutely loved being front row and center for such a tech heavy show. However, the stage at the Winter Garden was probably one of the higher stages on this trip. The only thing that really bothered me about this show was the audience etiquette of the family behind me who were obviously translating the show for their youngest daughter without trying to be mindful of those around them as they were conversing in full on regular speaking voice and not hush hush. I glared at them midway through act 1 but to no avail so I had to bring in an usher to talk to them at intermission to which it did nothing as this continued throughout the whole second act. All that aside, ALSO SPOILERS AHEAD: When it came time to fly the car out for the finale, it was cool to be in such close proximity to the actual robotic arm/mechanism that flips the car upside down over the audience. I got to say hi to Casey and Roger as the car was slowly going upside down!
Favorite Moment: Something About That Boy was such a cute act 1 finale and something about that song is so catchy!
Notable Mentions: Hugh Coles was a standout! Will Branner was also on for Biff at this show!
Stagedoor Experience: Jonalyn, Aaron, Katie, Jelani, JJ, and Casey came out to sign!
Other notes: N/A
Day 5 - My Birthday!
https://preview.redd.it/m2k1dwacrn1d1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=139ec86d41f08401550819df654eb54d377960b0
Cabaret at The Kit Kat Club (matinee)
Thoughts: HOLY FUCK! I’ve never experienced such an immersive theater going experience. From the shots of peach schnapps as you enter the theater, to how much they’ve transformed the August Wilson, I was gagged. I want to preface this by saying that I went into this musical completely blind with only the most recent west end cast recording to kind of give me a rough idea of the show’s plot. No regrets there. I guess I came out of that show feeling a little underwhelmed. I literally remember verbally uttering the words “thats it?” during the finale blackout. However with all that aside, the cast was absolutely superb. Experiencing Bebe Neuwirth in the flesh was sort of an out of body experience.
Front (ish) Row thoughts: First row of the new West Mezzanine (Mezz 4 Row A Seat 220). Don’t get me wrong, these seats were absolutely perfect with just the right amount of being so close to the action, yet being at a good distance away from the stage to take everything in as a whole. However, I was reading a few reviews of the west mezz prior to going in and had heard about the bias of performing towards the “real” side of the house. Here are my thoughts around that - It's true - there was a clear bias to performing towards that side of the house. I felt as if they were really only looking at our side because they had to. Don’t get me wrong, I could see their effort at performing and catering to both sides of the house, but you end up feeling a little disconnected as most of the numbers do cater to the “real” side of the house. All that aside, it was still a great experience!
Favorite Moment: When Sally initially gets introduced, she literally walks through the first row of the west mezz. I was a little shookt as the space was a little tight but she gets through to the other side witn no problem! I got a cute little moment with her as she momentarily complimented my outfit as she puts her hand on my face to pinch my cheeks!
Notable Mentions: The ensemble was absolutely superb and took the immersiveness of the show to another level! I would definitely splurge on stage side seating the next time I go because you get so much more interaction from them!
Stagedoor Experience: Eddie was the only one who came out to sign.
Other notes: I purchased the Pineapple Room upgrade and it was worth it in my opinion. There was just a bit of confusion earlier on in the experience. I was under the assumption that the Pineapple Room was its own lounge, to which it is! However, the thing that I didn’t realize (and it wasn’t really clear in the emails that they send you) was that the actual experience starts once they open the doors to the actual house as it’s a room that's off to the side of the east mezz. That’s where they seat you and if you were going solo like me, you get paired up with another person going solo. I got to share a full bottle of champagne with another gentleman who only had a couple of glasses. So in actuality I had a whole bottle of champagne to myself! The attendants were super nice! The room had three private bathrooms which were a luxury! No lines at all to go to the restroom and they were clean! The whole room also acts as your coat check, as you can leave your belongings in there but they do ask you to take everything back with you after intermission. Getting to the east mezz from the west mezz is a trek so you do have to be mindful of that! The attendants also found out it was my birthday and once I was back in the lounge during intermission for desserts, I had found a cute little handwritten note as well as a free bar of toblerone from them. I can confidently say that this was one of the highlights of my trip!

Wicked (evening)
Thoughts: It was nice to see the show that started it all for me! Being in the Gershwin was just such a special moment for me on this trip. Wicked was my introduction to musical theater and seeing it for the first time on Broadway was truly something really special to me. This marked my 5th time seeing Wicked after seeing the international tour cast in Manila years ago with Suzie Mathers as Glinda and Jemma Rix as Elphaba. MKM and Alexandra Socha were such a delightful pair and it was nice to see their fresh take on the role!
Front Row thoughts: (ORCH BB110) Wicked’s front row was TIGHT. Probably the tightest front row seat on this trip.
Favorite Moment: There's just nothing compared to seeing defying gravity happen right in front of your eyes. No matter how many times I've seen the show, it always feels like my first time whenever we get to that point.
Notable Mentions: n/a
Stagedoor Experience: Jordan, Jake, and Brad came out to sign.
Other notes: As much as I love Wicked, I truly felt like I could’ve skipped this and seen The Outsiders instead, but there isn’t anything like saying you’ve seen Wicked on Broadway! Also, the last time I saw the show was in 2014, but I was a little taken aback by Thank Goodness and how the platform Glinda stands in was just a tad bit off the center. I think I remember it being much more centered the last time I saw it, but maybe that’s just my mind playing tricks on me.
Day 6
https://preview.redd.it/94u3ubeern1d1.jpg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=979a1bc61d642a8690288709c367c4deec2a5647
The Great Gatsby (matinee)
Thoughts: It still boggles my mind that the only Tony nom this show received was for costume design. This show probably had one of the more elaborate set pieces that really draws you in. All the principals were really on their game and I have nothing bad to say about them and this production! The only comical thing I can say was how they did Myrtle’s death. I feel like they could’ve been a little more creative than how it came to be as it was merely a flail and fall to the floor moment. I think this was the show that I had high expectations for and I was not let down!
Front Row thoughts: (Center Orch B108) The leg room was ample and the stage was at a good height that it didn’t cut off the performer’s feet. My only complaint was how tight the seats were at the Broadway Theatre.
Favorite Moment: New Money had me gagged!!
Notable Mentions: We started with a full company but Sarah Chase was out of the show after intermission with Ryah Nixon stepping in for her. It was such a great experience seeing two Myrtles in one show! Ryah was great and props to her for going on at the last minute!
Stagedoor Experience: All the principals except for John and Sara came out to sign. I believe a couple ensemble members also came out. Everyone at the stage door was also super respectful to the cast as well as the fans. I was half expecting it to go the other way around as the majority of the principals have such a huge following.
Other notes: Was not expecting the gunshot to be as loud as it was. Like I can usually prepare myself for it, but this one shookt me with how loud it echoed in the theater.
https://preview.redd.it/xbc46ghfrn1d1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0b224a8a7fc3df6cb64b028f1c491bf949983589
The Notebook (evening)
Thoughts: Where do I even begin with this show? I wasn’t expecting for me to love this show as much as I did prior to seeing it and all the mixed reviews that it got. This show easily ranks as number 1 for the entire trip. I came into this without knowing anything about The Notebook like I had an idea of what it was but I’ve never seen the movie nor read the book. My only source of knowledge beforehand was about 5 songs from the cast recording and even then I couldn’t make myself listen to the whole thing because I wanted to see it with no spoilers. I’m honestly glad that I went in blind because it took me on such a wild roller coaster ride that I want to ride over and over again. I wasn’t really expecting myself to cry but I was sobbing by the end of act one and was even more of a mess by the end of act two. I was moved in ways I didn’t expect and they timed the comedic moments perfectly to counteract a heavy scene that just occurred.
Front Row thoughts: (Center Orch B106) I was expecting to get wet from the rain scene but it wasn’t really that big of a deal! I loved being front row for this show for the sole reason that Joy Woods belts My Days literally like a foot away from you. The stage was at the perfect height that it didn’t require any neck breaking.
Favorite Moment: I Wanna Go Back was the first song that made me cry out of the blue. I didn’t expect it as it kind of just happened. Another notable moment was during the finale when everyone was on the walk-around part of the stage and Dorcas was directly in front of me while I uttered the words thank you as I sobbed my eyes out. She replied with another thank you and that meant a lot. I thanked her for that moment when I met her at the stage door!
Notable Mentions: John Cardoza! Holy fuck can that boy sing!
Stagedoor Experience: A few of the principals came out to sign as well as the majority of the ensemble. It was such an honor for Mary Ann to come out and sign.
Other notes: I need it to tour already because I would pay good money to see it again live! I have no words to describe how much I’ve fallen in love with this show. I’m kind of just at a loss for words with how much this has moved me.
Day 7
https://preview.redd.it/83btcjzgrn1d1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f4ccc6d4f98d2e95869838ca8011816186b1bef5
& Juliet (evening)
Thoughts: Beautiful used to be my favorite jukebox musical, but this is now number one! Very pop-y as expected but the songs worked so well and just intertwined with the plot seamlessly. This performance was also Oliver Tompsett’s broadway debut! The energy in the house was electric and his first entrance was one hell of a moment!
Front Row thoughts: (Orch A108) I wasn’t expecting to say this, but this show probably had the best front row. I’ve heard of reviews detailing how high and close the stage was to this front row, but it worked in my favor due to my height as I was eye level with the stage. The seats were roomy and the leg room was ample. The only downside was some of the props hindering your view of the stage during two numbers in the show. That wasn’t a big deal and was honestly not a problem.
Favorite Moment: Roar gave me goosebumps but also That’s the Way It Is!
Notable Mentions: Literally e v e r y o n e
Stagedoor Experience: All the principals came out except for Ben and Betsy. Almost everyone in the ensemble also signed!
Other notes: Seeing those costumes up close was breathtaking. So much attention to details! Everyone in this show also smelled so good. Obviously being that close, you're able to smell fragrances but I'd just like to say that Betsy Wolfe smells like eucalyptus and mint which I think fits her personality! Hope that's not too weird..

If you've made it to the end, THANK YOU for reading! I hope you enjoyed!
If you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to answer them!

There are some guys with some interesting stories who wore #28, including: Cal Abrams wore it for the Reds in 1952; Joe Ginsberg for the White Sox in 1960 and 1961; Fred Sington for the Dodgers in 1939, but I have already written about them. (Abrams 3 days ago, Ginsberg 2 days ago and Sington 9 days ago.) Murray (Moe) Franklin wore #28 for the Tigers in 1941; as did Ralph Branca when he came back to the Dodgers in 1956, Richie Scheinblum for Cleveland in 1967-69 and Cody Decker for the Padres in 2005 (only 12 plate appearances).
Al Federoff donned #28 for the Tigers in 1952. After serving in the Air Force in World War II, he attended Duquesne University until signing as a second baseman with the Detroit Tigers in 1946. In his 14 season career, he played in 1860 games, but only 76 of them in the majors for the Tigers. After years of stellar defensive play in the minors, he made his major-league debut as a pinch-runner on September 27, 1951. He began the 1952 season in the minors, but was called back up to the Show second-baseman, Jerry Priddy, broke his leg. Al was considered one of the fastest players in the league. He was on the field for Virgil Trucks’ no-hitter against the New York Yankees in 1952, and he made the final put out Hank Bauer’s hard-hit ground ball. Federoff managed in the Tigers’ minor-league system throughout the 1960s and famously mentored Jim Leyland, who called him the best manager he ever had.
Duke Markell wore #28 in 1951 for the St. Louis Browns; he was born in Paris, France in 1923. After digging into the Canadian-born major leaguers, it took a lot less time to look at the 7 French-born players. Duke pitched in 5 games, starting 2, for a total of 21.1 innings. His ERA was an unimpressive 6.33, but he did have one complete game (so far this year, only 8 CGs in all MLB and no pitcher has more than one). Looking at all 7 French players, they have a total of 8.41 WAR over more than 1300 games. Last year, Mookie Betts had a WAR of 8.3. Charlie Lea and Bruce Bochy account for 9.72 WAR, which means the other 5 had negative 1.5 WAR - in fact, the other 5 players each had negative WAR.
Here is a Markell card and a Goody photo that I forgot to share yesterday.

Stop funding the IDF
The USA has been one of the countries that has been funding the most amount of money to the IDF. Most of the aid is provided under the FMF (Foreign Military Financing). This means Israel must use the money form the USA to purchase U.S. military equipment and services.
The Leahy Law doesn't allow the USA to provide security assistance to foreign governments or groups that commit gross human rights violations. Israel has agreed to use USA's military equipment only in self defence.
Joe Biden said he would halt shipments of weapons to the IDF. Some of the weapons that are being halted from being shipped out are 2,000 ton bombs that have been used in Gaza by the IDF to kill civilians and cause mass destruction.
“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah – they haven’t gone in Rafah yet – if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – that deal with that problem,” Biden said.
6 May the IDF entered Rafah and started a full scale ground invasion, because of the invasion roughly 800,000 people had to flee Rafah according to the UN.
Which has lead the UN to make renewed appeal for protection of civilians, safe humanitarian aid access and a ceasefire, as their concerns for the people in Gaza rises.
On the 17 May the USA congress decide to keep sending the IDF bombs and other military equipment even though they are in Rafah.
The USA keeps funding and suppling the IDF with military supplies even thought they have killed 35,272 civilians, displaced millions, stopped humanitarian aid from getting into Gaza, bombed schools and hospitals.
The IDF is not using the military equipment from the USA in self defence it is using it to commit war crimes. Congress and the government of the USA have ignored the Leahy Law and are using tax money from the USA citizens to fund g3nocide.
An other country that has been selling the IDF military equipment is the UK, in 2022 they exported 42 million pounds and sold military aircraft, assault rifles and explosive devices.
A strike from the IDF on a convoy killed seven aid workers, including three Britons. Which caused more than 600 lawyers to send a letter to the government in the UK, arguing that the sales of military equipment to IDF violated international law.
UK's Cameron said that Britain continues to have grave concerns around the humanitarian access issue in Gaza but decided to keep selling arms to the IDF.
The USA has built a floating dock system to be able to deliver food and aid to Gaza. They had spent months building it even though the UN had said the best was to deliver food was through land and not sea. The UN has struggled to deliver aid to Gaza since the IDF has occupied all borders and allow little to no aid to enter Gaza, including limiting the amount of fuel that enters Gaza making it difficult to deliver aid.
The UK has sent aid to the people in Gaza though land and airdrops.
If the USA and the UK would stop funding and supporting a state that commits war crimes they wouldn't have to send aid into Gaza. The best was to help people in Gaza and Palestine is to stop funding and helping the IDF commit war crimes.
The USA and the UK aren't the only countries helping the IDF, Germany, Austria, France, Norway, Australia, India, Canada, Poland and other countries.
We don't want our tax money used to commit and support war crimes, g3nocide. Stop funding the IDF.
