Gershwin Theatre, Theater District

I saw Wicked here last week

We sat in the rear right mezzanine closer to the center in the very last row along the wall. The seats are elevated enough so that your view won’t be obstructed by those seated in front of you. Considering where we sat, I felt like visibility was good, but would have wanted to be at least a little closer. The acoustics were good too and the sound level seemed just right. The ladies room on the mezzanine level had only three stalls. There was a line out the door during intermission; I was a couple minutes late for act two. I know we didn’t have the worst seats, because there were some cheaper tickets available which were sold out at the time of our purchase. If I go back to the Gershwin Theater for another show, I will try for better seats.

New York Public Library, Midtown

tourist and local destination worth visiting

The NYPL has a lot to offer. I went to my first event inside the musuem last week to see pianist, Van Cliburn interviewed. I was very happy with the interview which also included a slide show and music, and the auditorium it took place in was nicely decorated and arranged.

I know I was inside the library as a child, but don’t know how much of it I saw and only have vague memories, as well as a picture by the lions out front. I should go back sometime for a tour or a walk around.

I frequently walk through Bryant Park, which is behind the museum, and spend some time there in the warm months attending free concerts, which I look forward to doing again this year.

American Folk Art Museum, Midtown

worth a visit

I’ve been in the NY area for 13 years and just discovered this museum. It’s near Lincoln Center. Admission is free with a suggested $5 donation. My friend and I gave $1 each, which is what I thought it was worth. It’s composed of only three small galleries and a gift shop. I recommend it as something to do if you really enjoy folk art, or if you happen to be in the area anyway since it doesn’t take much time to go through. I’m satisfied with my visit and glad to know it’s there.
