HUGH JACKMAN

Hopefully, reading the title you can understand my excitement! One of my friends here (Marley's mom) is in love with Hugh, and she has been dying to go. Her husband is not! So, helping a friend out of course, I graciously accepted the offer to go see his one man broadway show!

We started at The Smith, a restaurant on our side of town. This place is really cool. It has subway tiles along the walls, a huge bar off to one side and tons of people all over-even waiting outside. (to me, this is more quintessential nyc). We had fun drinks and I ate the orechettie-fabulous! Check out their website thesmithnyc.com

Here's the show from the outside. Hard to see, but at this point Gaby and I start noticing that we are the only ones around here less than 50yrs old.

Look at the smiles!

Here is a glimpse inside, we got in trouble for taking this pic, but wanted to get the stage. It's an intimate theater that holds around 1200.

Ok, so this show is a must. We loved every minute, even if we were younger than most. He is talented like no other. He can sing, act, dance and most of all-he is so normal. The show is basically a time travel of his career. He tells stories as he goes, you hear the inside scoop about how he became wolverine, you see pics of his childhood, he talks about his wife and family constantly, he dresses up, he sings, he dances-has a few back up dancers too, just truly the epitome of a one man show!! My favorite part was at the end when he pays tribute to Australia and has true aborigines sing with him, with their instruments! Almost moves you to tears how connected he is with where he came from, love to see that in someone crazy, famous! I should also mention his buddies Nic and Keith (kidman and urban) were in the crowd our night-woohoo. Loved this night in NYC!
