‘Back to the Future’ @ Winter Garden Theatre: NYC (6/30/23)

On the last day of June, I saw the first preview of Back to the Future The Musical on Broadway!

I honestly didn’t know if I would actually make it, but a few days before this someone posted about partial view seats going on sale on Telecharge for $49 plus fees and what do you know, that’s within my price range & my finger slipped, so I was at first preview! (For the record, partial view isn’t bad at all – most of the action takes place center stage so I was perfectly fine being on the far right, row C!)

‘Personality: The Lloyd Price Musical’ @ Studebaker Theatre: Chicago (6/24/23)

I was visiting Chicago for a few days for a concert and completely forgot to check out what Broadway shows were playing while I was in town! I missed out on some good shows! Saturday was my last day in Chicago with my flight in the evening, so I figured I’d see a matinee if I could grab rush for something.
