The Theatre is my Sanctuary

Musical theatre is a religious experience to me.

Sadly, I rarely get to go to "church." When we moved to the Myrtle Beach area back in 1999, we CHOSE the area because, at the time, the Palace Theatre was home to a variety of National Touring companies of Broadway shows. In 2002, the theatre closed. Later it was sold and now has its own in-house shows - with very rare occasions when a musical comes through.

But this week, in celebration of our tenth wedding anniversary, Rich and I are in the "holy land" of New York City. It is my intention to see as many shows as possible - I have to squeeze in as much heaven as I can into this week.

Last night, we went to Spamalot. Oh MY LANTA. It was freaking amazing. Honestly, I was only going to appease Rich, who is a huge Monty Python fan. I really did NOT expect to enjoy it all that much, but not only was it brilliantly funny, the music was fantastic.

Tonight, we see Rent. Yes, we found a theatre that isn't dark on Monday nights! I might actually fit seven shows into six days! I LOVE New York City.
