Last night, we traveled to a far away place (midtown) to see Damn Yankees (which will be referred to as Boo Yankees! from now on). Tickets were only $25, which was a definite plus, as was the fact that some of our favorite stars were performing in it. Jane Krakowski, best known (to us) as Jenna from 30 Rock, played the sultry Lola, and Sean Hayes, the actor who plays Jack in Will & Grace, played... well, the devil.
We gave the performance a "thumbs sidewides." Although the aforementioned actors were funny and clever, the play itself seemed to go on forever, and our seats had limited view. BUT, it was totally worth it to see our lovely Jenna perform live! Only in New York!
Lost fans will appreciate how the video opens...
After the performance, we decided to extend our date and eat a Forbidden Broadway Sundae at Serendipity, as per the recommendation of our intern friends, Adam and Becky. Sadly, when we got there, we found that there was an HOUR wait! At 10:00 p.m.! Go to bed people, seriously. Hopefully we will still be able to eat there before we leave!
P.S. YES, I learned how to link in this blog, and YES, we are blogging more often than each month! Woo hoo!

I'm so proud of you guys for stepping up the post frequency. Woot! So I think that Lola role was specifically designed for the girl from 30 Rock. I'm sure she was very in her element. Would they really put on this play in New York with all the Yankees fans? Did people storm the stage or anything?
p.s. when you move here we call go to plays and other cultural events together! yay!
I can't comment on the play, but we did go to Serendipity when we were in New York and ate "frozen hot chocolate". It was a fun restaurant and great dessert.
Hope you can go before you leave!
I've never been a big fan that musical...but seeing a high school performance can't compare to two super stars on broadway.
And I have to highly recommend Serendipity too. Kevin and I definitely enjoyed it. We went there around the dinner hour on a weekday and didn't have too much of a wait...maybe they get busier later (you know big city people).
