Top 10 Performances in Hudson Yards, New York (NY)
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

Saw Aladdin on Broadway and was NOT disappointed! While all the characters/actors were spot-on, Genie was by far the show/scene-stealer!! He was funny, quick, talented and his voice was incredible! This was my 7yr-old daughter’s (and husband’s for that matter) 2nd Broadway show (saw Frozen last summer) and Aladdin was just as magical (I mean there’s an actual FLYING CARPET) and just as memorable!!!

I have been to 3 plays at Theatre Row, and would recommend this venue as an alternative to much more expensive Broadway plays. Several plays are running at the same venue at any given time. It is a more intimate setting, so any seat is a good one. Most recently we saw "A Brand New World" which ran only for 3 days, but was an excellent production by a group of up-and-coming actors supported by some more seasoned professionals. The story and music were original and very well done. We have also seen two of the plays based on the life and work of C.S.Lewis.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is one Broadway play presented in two parts. Both parts are intended to be seen in order on the same day (matinee and evening) or on two consecutive evenings.

I titled this the way I did because the choice to see Harry Potter was my wife's. I just wanted to see a Broadway Show. Am I glad we did and am I glad she chose Harry Potter. Wow! The show was fantastic and the Lyric theatre and staff was marvelous. Good seats on Broadway can be expensive. We had good seats in the first balcony and paid $150 per. Still, if visiting New York, a absolute must.

Out of the three Disney musicals out there right now we saw two almost back to back, and there certainly are similarities. The level of production in a Disney show is over the top: costumes, settings, and special effects galore. The music is the Disney score you love, plus some. The cast is some of the most talented Broadway has. The content is for the whole family, which is Disney canon. The difference, I would say, between Aladdin and Lion King is the mood. While Lion King is reverent, a delving into a foreign culture full of exotic chanting and stunning costumes/marionettes, Aladdin’s approach is more lighthearted. The costumes and settings are exotic, and the fireworks and special effects are proprietary to the musical, but I could easily say I laughed WAY more with Aladdin. It’s not a remake of the movie (none of them are, don’t expect that), it’s another take on the classics, with new songs, and an immersive experience. It was great to see Jonathan Freeman, the original Jafar, on stage. His voice is unmistakeable, and gives the classic Villain 30 years of experience. The New Amsterdam is a larger venue, so seats up front here really make a difference. Performance is timely, once you have your tickets make sure you arrive on time and have two hours to enjoy the performance.
