New York, New York is full of names from song, history and even everyday lexicon. Uptown, Downtown are places here. The Bowery, Hell’s Kitchen and Bronx evoke civilizations (or lack thereof). Wall Street IS our economic system.
Jean and I make our own "West Side Story" for lunch, drink a "rosé in Spanish Harlem," "go up on the roof" of Rockefeller Plaza and peek "under the boardwalk" in Coney Island.
She wants to "give our regards to Broadway" but the cost of tickets to sold-out favorites would "just give me the blues." So she makes her own luck again, walks up to the window just behind someone turning in today’s tickets to the hottest show in town - Kinky Boots. “Are they good seats?” “Oh yeah!”
As I sit front row hoping to
be envied, I ponder the industry that lights the whole NYC Theater
District. The program advertises
about 25 running shows ... say about 1000+ seats each x 7 performances per week
x ticket pri$e = about 1.1 BILLION bucks per year! That is why "the neon lights are always bright on Broadway."
