Yesterday was our first full day in New York city, and we made sure to pack as much into the day as possible. This included a couple of hours of shopping at Macy's, Victoria's Secret and other shops. The highlight of the day, however, was seeing the Broadway show Mama Mia.
We'd heard of it and thought that it sounded pretty good, but knowing that it was such a big show we were pretty sure that we wouldn't be able to get tickets at the discount TKTS office - but we were wrong, and very happily so.
Mama Mia started at 8:00 pm last night, and we were there in some rather good seats in the Mezzanine. The three of us enjoyed every minute of the musical,which is a comedy that very appropriately incorporates ABBA songs. The storyline was funny and lighthearted, and he performers were fantastic. The stage-work and lighting were also very impressive. The next time you're in New York, Mama Mia is a must see!

There is nothing quite like a Broadway show. I hope you enjoyed the Great White Way - so named because even in the middle of the night it is so well lit up! The city that never sleeps is a great experience. Enjoy. BTW - Ellen's Stardust Diner used to have a great Mississippi Mud Pie if you are ever out late in search of a dessert. :D
