NYC 2012 Day #7

So the week has flown by.  We wake up Monday morning and pack up and meet in the lobby to take the subway to 42nd street,  We walk to 10th Ave. to load up on our charter boat tour.
While on the boat, we curved around (getting some interesting information about Hoboken and other buildings on both the NJ and Manhattan sides of the water.

In 2014 we're doing this boat tour on the day of our red eye because you will get great shots of the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge. And then I'll never have to step a foot on Ellis Island again.
Since Renae and Ray had bussed up to Washington DC earlier that day, I was without sunscreen.  Thus, as I left the CircleLine Cruise, I was lobster red. 
Our bus was not taking us to the airport for a while so everyone had some last minute free time and shopping.  We ran over to the Drama Bookstore, the Disney Store, a mini-cupcake store and Broadway stores to get stuff for the girls.
We ate at a gourmet hamburger joint (The Counter- which used to be in SLC.  Until it closed) and then headed back to the hotel.
We loaded up without incident and (unlike the bus ride into the city a week ago), got to JFK just fine.
We ate some good food at the airport (the Jetblue terminal is great) and we loaded up on the airplane (and again, thank you Jetblue) I watched tv all the way home.  Until midnight.
Peace out NYC 2012.  You were fun. 
Out of my personal preference:
Peter and the Starcatchers- hardest I laughed on stage (thank you Christian Borle.  And the mermaid song was pretty great too).
One Man Two Guvs- Outstanding performances (James Corden slapping himself, the whole dinner sequence at the end of Act 1 and every word that came out of Stanley Stubbers mouth).
Evita-  Your set was beautiful and stunning.  I liked your choreography too.
Sister Act-  Carolee Carmelo was fantastic as the Mother Superior.  Good comic timing (and that triple costume quick change on stage is pretty sweet).  Oh- the only sholw with a disco Virgin Mary.
Nice Work If You Can Get It-  Great choreography (and costumes-  that wedding veil was great).  Great comic timing and Matthew Broderick was funny.  Kelli O'Hara has a great voice too...
War Horse-  Just overall mise en scene.  Stunning.
Once-  Beautiful set, direction and stunning stage movement.  Steve Kazee- pretty awesome.
Tribes-  great intimate setting and passionate performances.
Newsies-  Just a fun, Disney show- great dancing and Jeremy Jordan was great.
Oh, also, one day over the week we went and walked the Highline (Saturday morning). It's a cool former elevated train track that is now an outdoor park.  It's very nice. 
 It was awesome and I as I ate an organic blueberry pop, Amanda Cox gave us a botany tour of all the plants.  We even got Ray and Renae to go to!
Everyone, save your pennies now for NYC 2014!
