NoHall in the Apple.........

Well, you might have the crud, but you're on fire tonight!!

I think I heard her get off the plane today.

Trip report preview (pics later; I'm pushing 22 hours awake after only sleeping 2 hours last night!) So far, we're ahead of schedule!

• Landed 1:30 p.m.
• in Harlem by 3-ish.
• Hung out with host for a few minutes, hit the street.
• Late lunch.
• Subway to Canal Street.
• Did some "private shopping." Great purses.
• Subway back up to 5th Avenue at south end of Central Park.
• Walked through Central Park to Metropolitan Museum of Art
  Didn't go in--just window shopped.
• Stopped by the Apple Store on 5th Avenue--very cool place.
• Had some MAJOR funn in FAO Schwartz. (Hop--I rode a wave board through the store, and missed you a lot!)
• Trump Tower, Tiffany's.
• Realized that my recently purchased Prada purchases were still at FAO Schwartz next to the big piano.
• RAN two blocks back to store in Birkenstocks and a cute little dress, delivered a Tony-worthy performance for the security guy, who let me back in to get my junk.
• Explored St. Patrick's Cathedral
• Went to Times Square, ate supper
• Waited outside the stage door for SPRING AWAKENING to end. Before I saw my friend in the show, I saw my high school drama teacher.
• Gave a cast member (total stranger) my autograph.
• Peppermint martinis with a bunch of high school teachers

I think I died about two hours ago. We may forego Rockefeller Plaza in the morning. Tired gulls...

Spring Awakening was a great show and the music was fabulous!!! Was Blake sitting in the chairs on the right side of the stage? Also, when you talk to Blake, would love to know about how many actors had to audition for each part.

Your Saturday schedule sounds ambitious but I hope you get it all in!!!

He did sit in the chairs on your right for part of the show. He was also the tallest one in the show--about 6'2" and very thin, with red hair.

The original audition was an open call in April, and he was in there with 1600 other guys. I don't have the numbers for the rest of the auditions, but his first callback was at the end of July, followed by another two a week after that.

I almost tinkled my pants when the show started. The band was on stage, and I noticed that the accompanist was barefooted and a lightbulb came on in my head. Because I've been researching the gender gap in professional music I knew that the musical director was one of the very, very few female musical directors on Broadway, but for some reason I never figured that she would be on stage tonight. (I read in an article that she likes to perform barefooted.)

So guess who had a lovely, scholarly conversation with me about female musical directors and a bunch of other stuff after the show?

:shock: ​

Are you laughing at my life? If not, try this on: The two male leads came up to me after the show and said, "Hey! I saw you on the street today!" Such nice kids...

Glad to see you made it home from the bar, Kitty!

We actually slept late this morning (after going to bed early--good stuff!) but my phone woke me up this morning. Some lady with a New York accent, and I didn't have really good reception. (Not sure if it was my phone or my brain that wasn't working.) After a minute or so, I figured out that it was Mango!

Yay...It was so good to put a voice with the Name!

I'm having such a good time.

Glad your having a grayt time Nohall! Keep up the good work.
