When I was a kid, my mom used to take my sister and I to Mohonk Mountain House, and we loved it. I’ve always had a love for all things fancy, and a giant old Victorian house that asked you to get dressed up for dinner was right up my alley (it still is)! I have so many childhood memories of being there. I think we went a total of four times, and each time was a little bit different. […]

Last week, my friend Sarah and I had a girls’ staycation weekend. We were newly off for Spring Break, wanted to do something but found travel planning to be difficult with working around various restrictions and worrying that places we wanted to go to would be closed. Instead, we decided to have a “staycation” weekend (or, really, an overnight) as we already had tickets to the Friends Experience exhibit (we were supposed to go in December, but I ended up […]

I think we can all agree that it pretty much sucks this year to have a March birthday. Mine was three weeks ago, on March 12th, and it was the day everything started to change. Initially I had been excited, because our Parent/Teacher Conferences were cancelled for safety reasons. But that also meant I no longer had to work late on my birthday. However, it was also the day the restrictions began: Broadway shut down as well as tons of […]

Last Friday, I headed into the city with some friends and co-workers to see Come From Away on Broadway. Overall I liked the show. Usually the structure and style of this type of musical is not my thing (I’m all for the big spectacle shows) but Come From Away was an exception to that rule. It helped that it was based on a true story, which always peaks my interest because I like to read about the facts vs. fiction […]

Most people know that the Metropolitan Museum of Art does an annual costume institute exhibit, but occasionally they have other fashion exhibits on throughout the year. This is the case for In Pursuit of Fashion: The Sandy Schreier Collection, the current fall exhibit. From the Met’s page on the exhibit: “The Costume Institute’s fall 2019 exhibition features promised gifts from Sandy Schreier, a pioneering collector, who over the course of more than half a century assembled one of the finest […]

This past Sunday night, I headed out for the second of three Broadway shows of the month (the third will be West Side Story): Moulin Rouge! The tickets were a Christmas gift from my mom. We both loved the movie when it came out, and were curious about the Broadway version. We had also heard very mixed reviews, and I myself had mixed feelings about seeing it, given that I had heard some of the soundtrack in advance and didn’t […]

Oh gosh, where to start? I’ve posted about Waitress and how much I absolutely adore it on this blog numerous times (here, here, and here). From the Sara Bareilles score to the storyline to just about every single little thing about it. It’s just magical, and it has kept me going back for more and more and more. There’s just something about it that speaks to me on so many different levels, and every time I left the theater, I […]

Last week I mentioned that a lot of what I end up doing comes my way through Facebook. I randomly see ads for events and thankfully have a friend who will tag along with me most of the time. Thus, my friend Sarah and I found ourselves at a Love Actually musical parody last Saturday. We trekked ourselves into the city despite the rainy weather, and found ourselves at the Jerry Orbach theater. These musical parodies are often held in […]

Facebook can be a wonderful thing sometimes, especially when it helps me find events I wouldn’t otherwise know about. So when the opportunity for a free talk with Donna Zakowska, the costume designer for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, came up I jumped on it! In a word, the event was amazing. I went straight from work in the hopes of getting a good seat and I ended up in the fourth row! Sadly there were no pictures or videos allowed […]
