I had no idea that I would enjoy Broadway shows until the age of 12, when my mentor took me to see” Hairspray.” Not only was Hairspray my first Broadway show, but it was also my first musical. I could not contain the happiness I felt after I got a close view of the performance.The stage, the actors, and the Broadway story is such a magnificent thing to see. The one thing that runs through my mind after I see a Broadway show is wondering how can the actors do this two or three times a day, everyday, throughout the year so flawlessly? I’m amazed at how each actor is able to portray the same character every time, and memorize lines.
I have a sweet spot for theater. I think it’s a great way to express yourself. I think Broadway is a great example of this. So many stories are told, and so many songs are sang. There are so many shows to chose from in New York, and being in the center of it all is amazing. I think that there is a Broadway show for everyone.
Out of all the Broadway shows that I have seen, my favorite has to be “War Horse.” I seen “War Horse” on a school trip with my English honors class a few months ago, and it was amazing. It was a wonderful experience. I am so grateful that I have seen “War Horse”, because it has been recognizde by so many people, including the Tony Awards ,and now it’s very hard to see.
I always love going to Broadway shows, and everytime I have the chance to see one is a great experience. Hopefully, if I’m lucky, I can finally see “The Lion King” or “Wicked.” These are two of the Broadway shows I’m dying to see.
