Hearing my son say "I would love to do Broadway some day. I guess I better learn how to sing and dance first though.", PRICELESS.

I love being able to still find "firsts" to do with my son.  Seeing the sparkle in his eye as he sees or does something for the first time, still brings enormous joy to my heart.  Such was the case when we attended the Broadway musical, Promises, Promises.  The show was awesome. It stars Sean Hayes ("Jack", from Will and Grace), and Kristen Chenoweth.  Sean Hayes is such a talented actor, and who knew he could sing!   Kristen Chenoweth is spectacular.  She is positively tiny, but yet she has this enormous voice and she literally shines on stage.

Bo and I both loved it and Bo said it was the best show he has ever seen on Broadway.  I guess for a moment there he forgot it was the only show he has seen on Broadway. :-) In fact, he loved the show so much, that he downloaded the cast CD to his ITouch and now breaks out in song at any random moment in time. He can't seem to get the songs out of his head. I love it though as he had no real interest in live theater prior to this. We are going to be seeing Wicked soon, and then may do one more off Broadway show.  The tickets are obviously not cheap, and I'm trying to stay on budget. 

It's been a bit dreary here the past few days, and it seems to have impacted my spirit as well.  I haven't gone to the gym since arriving and that's probably doing a number on me as well.  I find myself trying to stretch out whenever I can, but it's not the same.

Bo had two auditions this week, in addition to his classes.  One was for a lead role in a short film, and the other was for a role in Celebrity Ghoststories on the Biography Channel.  I'm happy he is auditioning but the focus of this trip still remains learning as much as he can about acting.

Looking forward to the weekend.  Hoping to go to the Bronx Zoo!
