nykeiko plays: Hedwig and the Angry Inch with James Cameron Mitchell and Lena Hall

When my friend Michael is in town, he always finds time to visit museums, watch a play (or two) and Broadway musicals too! This is also a good opportunity for me to tag along as I rarely take initiative to go to shows myself. Dave's lack of interest in seeing anything theatrical makes it rare for us to go to any shows together. We have seen shows in the past though. When I visited Dave before moving to the New York, he took me to an off Broadway show, Avenue Q. For my birthday one year, he bought tickets to Phantom of the Opera which I've wanted to see in New York (I've seen it in Taipei before.) Another year, his boss had extra tickets to Addam's Family (starring Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth) and finally, I got discounted tickets to see Wicked through my work and that was our last Broadway show together. I don't consider that a lot shows since there must have been hundreds of plays and musicals that have come and gone since I moved here.

Don't cry for me Argentinaaaa- is what I've been singing since seeing Evita on Broadway with Ricky Martin

My dear friend from Montreal was in town and had an extra ticket for me to watch 'Evita' at Marquis theater by Times Square. I enjoyed the show very much as everything was new and fresh for me! I have never seen the movie before so I didn't know the music (except for the obvious song), the story line nor the life of Eva Perron. -"She was an actress?! She died ..of what?! Her real hair color isn't blonde?! She was wife of the president?!".

It was beautiful when Evita stood off the balcony wearing a dazzling white dress to sing 'Don't cry for me Argentina' and I highly enjoyed all the dancing and the stage decors. Some songs were bleh and we laughed a little because Argentinian Elena Roger who played Evita, had this strong accent and we couldn't really understand everything she was singing sometimes. She reminded us of Sofia Vergara! The star of the show was obviously international pop icon Ricky Martin who took the stage as Che. Oh I miss his songs..."She bangs! She bangs!". He not doubt did a lot of singing (in perfect English!) but not so much in the dancing department which is too bad! We did see some butt rocking action and his shirt was tight! dun dunnn....

After the show

Waited 5 minutes in line to take a picture with the POSTER only!

Thanks Mic XXX

A must see show! "The Addams Family: A new musical" with Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth!

This was a really fun and funny musical playing right now on Broadway.
Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth were phenomal and so was the rest of the cast! Good times!
I think no one can replace Nathan Lane's character as Gomez however he will be replaced May 2011 and I am sure, it just won't be the same!
