42nd Street
I have always loved plays - it started back when I went to the first one in college during a fraternity formal. We saw Miss Saigon in Detroit, MI. It was the most awe-inspiring performance, and it made me want to see more. The next performance I saw was the Phantom of the Opera in San Francisco, courtesy of my Aunt Gloria during a spring break visit to her house.
Recently I had a school break and wanted to do some activities that I knew I would really enjoy. We spent the whole weekend going out to dinner, shopping, attending exhibits in Atlanta and THEN hit 42nd street at the Fox Theater in downtown Atlanta on a Sunday afternoon. The theater area is beautiful - the building is an older structure that was erected in the 1920's - it is smaller than the other theater's I've visited but is lined with red velvet chairs and stars on the dark ceiling. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that after our long weekend, at one point during the performance Jay was nudging me in the side and said, "Are you ASLEEP?" I made such a big deal about getting him to attend, then was so worn out that I was resting in my hand and appearing very tired (that's the story and I'm sticking to it!). 42nd was a great show, and I'm really looking forward to the night when my parents join us for the Rockettes later this fall.
