So, I went to NYC on Black Friday to see CInderella and it was wonderful!
The costumes were gorgeous--Cinderella's gold dress was particularly gorgeous--and her glass slippers just sparkled. The prince was wonderfully heroic and damn amusing and the ball room dance sequences were just lovely. We had the added bonus of seeing two Broadway vets playing the fairy godmother and the evil stepmother--Rebecca Luker and Harriet Harris respectively--who practically stole all of their scenes. :) And just as a weird side note, I saw Rebecca Luker many years ago in the revival of The Sound of Music that NBC is now claiming their Carrie Underwood show is based on. Again, Carrie Underwood doesn't even begin to compare to the greatness of this Broadway vet.
And yes, the crowds on and around Broadway were of an epic proportion but we were able to get our half-riced tickets without a problem. My mom thinks that not everybody knows that many of the shows have added matinees on Fridays during the Christmas holidays.
