Good Evening!
I'm back from
Mary Poppins...
Before the show, I was able to meet up with Alexandra and her grandparents, Carlos and Theresa, as Westway Diner for some dinner. It was great seeing Carlos and Theresa again - it's literally been years since we've been in the same room at the same time. We had quite good meals - and it seems they started baking their own bread rolls!. -And we ended up sitting in a booth next to Emily Skinner too.
Mary Poppins was good tonight - although, I felt that about half the audience was comatose. After the show, I was able to take them backstage and on-stage for a bit. Since they had a Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS winning bidder in the house tonight - she got to conduct the "Supercal" Bows - they were letting everyone spend a bit more time on stage, as well as look at the set a bit closer. Good timing.
Alexandra also got to meet the Alexandra and Matthew - tonight's Jane and Michael Banks - as well as Rebecca Luker (BK - She sends her best), and Mary Poppins herself, Ashley Brown.
On the way back to their hotel, Alexandra notice the big Toys'R'Us store in Times Square. And she wanted to go in. And since they had started the later Holiday hours, well... No purchasing was done, but she did do some scouting for later.

Tomorrow, they'll be seeing the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, and then Uncle Jojo will most likely take them down to Grand Central for the Kaleidoscope Show, as well as Bryant Park for some ice-skating. -Although, Uncle Jojo is still not sure whether or not he'll attempt to ice-skate himself.
