Sidney, built around one of the world’s most beautiful and accessible harbours, full of good restaurants and designer and tourist hotels and its a modern and cosmopolitan city.

Sidney Harbour Bridge is one of those postcard views everywhere. It’s curving steel frame arches across the water, these days dottedwith the tinny figures of hundreds of people, each day, who pay good money for a guided climb over the top span of the bridge. Giddy stuff and very popular.

As we motor out from beneath the bridge, the Opera House and its giant shell-like roof lines come into view, standing to the seaward end of Circular Quay. The Opera House is now a key focal point of the city.

The scale of of its architecture and construction show an enormous vision on the part of the city fathers who must have agonised over the approval of such a grandiose scheme some 50 years ago.

Whenever I think of a trip to New York City whether for a vacation or just a short one or two-day visit I can’t help but think of Broadwayand the delightful shows that await in these hallowed halls of entertainment delight. Broadway is the essence of New York. It can in turns be bawdy, brawling, loud, rowdy, soft, romantic, comedic, and rip-roaringly hilarious. Broadway has it all for those who are willing to look for their perfect fit.

The problem with Broadway is that there are so many wonderful shows to see and such limited time (for most of us) in which to see them. I don’t even believe those who live in New York City have enough time in which to appreciate the artistic treasure trove that is represented within this wonderful city that never sleeps. The truth of the matter is that in order to properly enjoy all the theatrical offerings available to you, you’d almost have to never sleep yourself.

Musicals

It is important to remember that all shows are not available at all times. Check to see if the show you wish to see will be playing during your visit before getting your hopes up. On to the musicals, which are, by the way, my favorite types of Broadway entertainment. Chicago the Musical, Forbidden Broadway (this one offers an hilarious ’spoof’ of Broadway), Jersey Boys, Naked Boys Singing (yes, they are!), Phantom of the Opera, Rent, Wicked, and Mama Mia!

Comedies

Broadway is well known for thumbing its nose at convention as well as for letting it’s hair down and having a good ole time. The same holds true for the Broadway theatre of today. Comedies and musicals on Broadway are not mutually exclusive so some of the hilarity mentioned below will have some degree of song and dance (well most likely quite a bit of both but you will definitely laugh). Let the comedies begin! I Love You, Your Perfect, Now Change (seriously, that’s the name we’re already off to a great start on the road to laughter). Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead (I think someone’s been peeking in my kids windows at night-this one is actually off Broadway but I thought it bore mentioning with such a catchy title and all). Spamalot. This one is rising star with rave reviews by critics and a fairly good attendance rate so buy your tickets early! The Producers, which was recently made as a motion picture and The Little Dog Laughed round up my list of comedies. I hope you’ve seen something here that looks like a good laugh; I know I’ve seen a few! Read the rest of this entry »
