Wednesday 8 July



Another good day today. We lined up for The View again today, and even though we managed numbers 12 and 13 in the stand by queue we were not in luck as they didn't let any extra people in.

From there we headed into Tkts, which is where you can get cheap tickets for Broadway. We decided on tickets for Chicago as we couldn't get tickets to our first choice of Wicked. After that we headed up to Central Park to the Delacourte Theatre to try and get tickets to Shakepeare in the Park, Twelfth Night. This is an all star cast including Ann Hathaway. The show starts at 8pm, but even by 11am the line was a mile and a half long, so that was the end of that experiment.
We settled instead for a ride on the caroselle. The lesson here, I might think I would like to go horse riding by I should get over my irrational fear of the somewhat stationary, much smaller, plastic kind first.
We saw the matinee performance of Chicago and it was fantastic. I loved the dancing, Phil loved the costumes, so a good afternoon was had by all.
After that we thought we would try our luck with the lottery for cheap seats at Wicked, but no joy so we had an early night instead with the promise of yet another early morning tomorrow.
