Transition

The Humans While this play was not originally the Broadway show my Broadway buddy and I intended to watch today (the one that we wanted to attend did not offer rush tickets today), we certainly did not regret watching The Humans. This play was, real, perhaps too real. It was, in some regards, too close to home. This show has to be the most contemporary, realistic, and authentic performance I have seen on Broadway. It was different, and while I admittedly prefer to go to musicals, this play delivered. On an unrelated note, the Playbills have changed!

Catalina Island Much like last year, I needed to go home, so I flew to Los Angeles. But every time I go home to California, home feels less and less like home. My friends have moved, people change, and life goes on. I should not have been surprised, but I was. This time however, unlike last year, I chose to do something new. I went to Catalina Island for the first time. It was the perfect vacation, though much too short. I felt privileged walking the same streets that Reagan once walked. Everything was wonderful, but something was in the back of my mind. This trip marked the beginning of the end of our story Ms. Gewyns, at least for me. I suspect it may have ended for you long ago.

"Kaleidoscope" by Coldplay Do you know how some songs just play the right strings in you sometimes as if it is exactly what your soul needed to hear? This song is exactly that. Coldplay has always had a way of doing that to me.

The Lion King Finally! After only a year and a half I finally got around to paying the most money I have ever spent on a Broadway ticket in order to experience one of the musicals I passionately wanted to see since I moved to New York City! The Lion King delivered! Disney took a childhood favorite and brought it to life the way only Broadway can. It helps that there is not one bad seat in the Minskoff Theatre! As I relived this classic story, I could not help but to draw the contrast between watching this movie every day as a child, with attending its Broadway rendition, in New York City, in a suit, after a day of work, at a law firm. Time has raced by; but there is no denying it, I am an adult. Still, I will never cease to be a Disney enthusiast.
