La Soirée @ the Union Square Theatre - Best Party in NYC

Keep the children at home! While incredibly funny, La Soirée is a naughty show that straddles the line between Burlesque and Circus.

Allan surprised me with tickets so we caught the Friday 10 PM showing in Union Square and had a blast. I wasn't sure what to expect at first, but I ended ooh-ing, ahhh-ing and laughing the entire show. From juggling to hula hooping, it has a circus like aspect to it, but each act is full of charisma and humor making the show more dynamic than the usual circus-like freak show spectacle. The burlesque aspect shines through via the costumes and more so when two english gentlemen performers strip down to their underwear after their acrobatic set. The show is also interactive, where some acts were fulfilled with the help of audience members even if audience participation meant being drenched with water by the sexy half naked man performing his acrobatic set in a tub.The hardest thing about capturing this experience for you all, is that they wouldn't allow photos. Luckily, La Soirée has their own instagram so I am going to use their social media platforms to share my experience with you! I am not going to describe each pictures and ruin each act, but you all get the gist. Go see the show! Average show runs around $96.95 for a general seat ticket. General seating is first come first serve, so be early for prime seating. Posh table seating give you and your partner a private table seating and although they are behind general seating, the height is elevated so the view is still pretty great and the tickets are around $137.95. It's a great date spot so plan your next with La Soirée!

Matilda on Broadway @ Sam S. Shubert Theatre NYC 2013

Recently, Allan and I went to go see Matilda on Broadway and it was FANTASTIC! It was so charming and so unforgettable, I may have even felt a glisten of tear welling up at one point. I grew up watching the movie and I too, stayed up under the covers wishing I had magical powers to punish the adults who were so selfish and unfair. When I was a tiny little one, I recorded this movie <-- on top of an old VHS tape and watched it over and over again. The musical was just as spectacular, not just because of Roald Dahl's genius script, but because of the amazing actors, set design, and music. The show revived my love and affection for dear old Matilda and I would watch it again a hundred times more. I still hear their tunes playing in my head.

Everyone is born, but not everyone is born the same. Some will grow to be butchers, or bakers, or candlestick makers. Some will only be really good at making Jell-O salad. One way or another, though, every human being is unique, for better or for worse. -Roald Dahl
