So I thought this would be one of the easiest experiences to complete. Tim and I were off to New York in February, so liking to be organised, I booked tickets to see the Lion King on Broadway the night we arrived. What I did not take into account was the prospect of a delayed flight! So we arrived in Times Square after the Lion King had finished! This meant we spent our first morning in New York queuing in Times Square for new theatre tickets. It was a freezing (and I mean so cold that I actually lost the ability to balance as my toes had gone so numb!) one and a half hour wait. It was however a very sociable time talking to the promoters who were of course all out of work actors who desperately wanted to entertain the crowd. We also had a lovely chat with a lady who lives in New York with her British boyfriend, they met when she did an exchange year at Oxford University and also an old man who had be stationed in London post war. Finally we reached the front of the queue and were able to get matinee tickets for Anything Goes. An old 1930s classic which won awards last year for being the best new revival. So that afternoon I crossed off the first thing on my list – I saw a show on Broadway and it was GREAT!
