Remember when Emily, Melissa and Linh came to visit me and we saw Guys and Dolls on Broadway? Do you remember when I was raving about how way beyond awesome “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat” was? Well, check out what I found:
See? I told you it was incredible.
I’m willing to fight whoever disagrees…
So, Emily and Melissa stopped in this weekend…
And so did Linh. From effing Miami.
Except no one told me. Her comment was, “did you think I was gonna let you guys hang out without me?!” Crazy Linh…
I completely flipped out when Linh walked into my apartment. I normally don’t scream like a 5 year old girl when I get surprised, but I definitely screamed and waved my arms around when I saw Linh.
It was a 4747 Lambeth reunion – and it was awesome. Thank God for that extra blow up mattress.
Here’s my weekend of fun in pictures:
We got 2nd row seats for Guys and Dolls thanks to Linh. Incredible. Sit Down You’re Rocking the Boat was one of most amazing songs I’ve ever heard on Broadway.
omg. Lauren Graham. She’s one of the the reasons why we saw the show. Surprisingly, she has a good voice.
We took a ridiculously long train ride to Coney Island, in search of the Coney Island Market. It doesn’t actually start until May 15th. My bad.
Yep, the sideshows are still there. Coney Island is still a freak show.
Hot dogs! We each ate one. They were tasty.
Then we hit up a few sweet places for cupcakes and candy. It’s really hard for us to pass up sweets.
That’s Em hiding behind Seredipity 3’s extra large menu. Our 11pm dinner was really tasty. I highly recommend the ham and brie sandwich. And the frozen hot chocolate, of course.
Oh – and we saw Little Ashes. Emily wanted to see it because of Robert Pattinson (aka. Edward from Twilight). Definitely worth the $12. PS: Javier Beltrán is crazy hot.
Whoops, one more picture:
That’s the ping pong table (at Fat Cat) where Em and I both schooled Melissa in 3 awesome ping pong matches.
So, my weekend was pretty freakin’ awesome. Me and my B’s :) I miss them already.
Guess who finally saw Rent (on Broadway)?
Yep, me. I bet you couldn’t figure that out…
After months and months (since last year) of talking about it with Adam and Hailey, we FINALLY got our lazy bodies to the Nederlander Theatre.
I am extremely glad we finally saw the show because it was fantastic. Much better than the movie in a lot of ways. Maureen (played by Eden Espinosa) did an absolutely amazing job and her voice was incredible. Gwen Stewart (Mrs. Jefferson in the show) and Marcus Paul James (Mr. Jefferson in the show), 2 characters not in the movie, take home the prize for best singers. They totally rocked out to Seasons of Love… Both Adam and I were blown away. Angel (Shaun Earl) obviously wins for best acting/dancing because it takes a very special man (or person, in general) to be able to dance and jump on and off tables in platform heels. I would’ve twisted my ankles just putting those shoes on.
The rest of the cast (and the band) did such a great job – it totally made my weekend worthwhile. Every single penny of my $55 was worth it. It will be sad when Rent ends.
