Guess who went to New York City and watched a Broadway show yesterday? ME! And we got the best seats in the house too! We were sitting just TWO rows away from the stage, and I could even see the crows' feet on the actors' faces. THAT was how close we were. Me and Henry watched The Producers which is touted as having won the most number of awards in Broadway history, and we enjoyed every minute of it! The show lived up to its high acclaim and was nothing short of fabulous. Everything- from the acting to the singing to the costumes to the storyline- was just perfect. Oh my gosh, and the theatre where it was staged- St James Theatre- was the most majestic place I've ever been in. Gold gilded columns, elaborately painted ceilings, beautiful crystal chandeliers- everything was just so ornate and lavish, and oh, I just LOVED the bathrooms! Hahaha... and they weren't even called bathrooms, they were called "The Ladies And Gentlemen's Lounge". So bourgeois!

The day before that we went to a comedy club and watched a couple of stand-up comics. I was expecting some down-and-out comedian making lame-ass jokes that I would have to force myself to laugh at, since there weren't many other people around despite the free entry, but the whole act was surprisingly good. There were 4 comedians and they're all headliners for other shows, so that was pretty cool. I think my faves were the gay Jewish guy and the black guy. The first thing the gay guy did when he came on stage was to point to these two young guys at the back and then he went, "What's the matter with you two? You're looking at me like I touched you in the park when you were 8 or something". Hahaha... and after he found out that there were 2 ladies in the audience who were from London, he began this semi-rant about how the same words were used differently in the UK: "I was doing a show in London right, and I used the word 'fanny' on national television. Now how was I to know that 'fanny' meant 'vagina' in London? It's also used to mean 'vagina' in South Africa, Europe, Australia- everywhere except the damn United States! So there I was on national television, talking about how big J. Lo's vagina was!" Hur hur hur. The black guy was just as self-deprecating. He was talking about racism and then he went "I was passing by this white lady, and when she saw me, she started clutching her purse tighter, and she stared at me. Now why did she have to do that for? So I just stared at her too. So we had this stand-off, both of us just staring at each other,and her thinking I was gonna rob her". Slight pause. "So I robbed her". Hahaha! That was just hilarious man. I love comedy clubs. I think I wanna go to an improv theatre next.

Well Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year!
