Hamilton Broadway

幾個禮拜前，就是我看了Frozen，又看了Book of Mormon那禮拜，又看了Hamilton。沒錯，一個禮拜三齣百老匯，開心到要落淚！原本沒有計畫看Frozen，更沒想到能看到Hamilton，太開心了啦！還能和好朋友一起看，好啦這是炫耀了！

（這次不是贏Hamilton Lottery）

A few weeks ago, I watched Frozen, Book of Mormon and Hamilton. That’s right, three Broadway Shows in a row, happy tears! Didn’t plan on watching Frozen, and never thought I would get to watch Hamilton, I was on Cloud 9! And I got to watch it with my Broadway fanatic friend, sorry not sorry!

(PSA: I didn’t win Hamilton lottery this time!)

喜歡Hamilton，劇裡提到許多時事議題，像是移民話題、女性平等、種族融合，劇裡表達方式卻不會讓人覺得太牽強或不舒服。雖然無法稱上我的第一名百老匯劇，但完全無法挑惕啊！

感謝我的朋友幫我們拿到票！

I liked Hamilton, it touched on a lot of hot topics today, like immigration, women’s rights, cultural diversity. I love how the way this show does not forcibly bring up these topics or make show goers feel uncomfortable. Although it’s not my absolute #1 favorite Broadway show, but this show was flawless!

Special shoutout to my friend who got us our tickets!

Frozen Broadway

實在是不想承認，但Frozen還真的滿好看的！舞台設計真的很棒！

小炫耀一下，Frozen Broadway是我的瑜伽老師帶來紐約的！看之前我老師一直說我會喜歡，但我一直抱著懷疑心態。結果連我已經聽到膩的Let It Go都非常驚艷！我老師太棒了！

下一篇，繼續百老匯。

I don’t want to admit it, but Frozen was actually very good! Their stage design was top notch!

Allow me to brag a little, Frozen came to New York in part because of my yoga teacher. She told me I would be amazed by the production despite knowing my doubts. Even the overplayed “Let it go!” was breathtaking! Props to my yoga teacher!

Next post will be another Broadway show!  (Wink!)

Broadway: Book of Mormon

第一次來紐約看百老匯就是這部Book of Mormon。記得幾年前UN在生日前夕給我一張卡片，說今年沒禮物，一打開卡片竟是Book of Mormon的票，感動到我大哭！當時還沒住紐約，有時只能YouTube上看表演，能到現場的機會非常珍貴。搬來紐約後，幾乎以一個禮拜看一齣表演計算，忘了當初那種哇要看百老匯的熱情，反而看完開始像寫評語一樣大肆討論。今天UN又買了Book of Mormon的票，開心卻帶點感傷。開心的是這部是我們都喜歡也是我來紐約第一部，感傷則是要離開紐約了，能隨時看百老匯的機會真的不多了。

中場休息時，有人昏倒，UN還幫助那人！太帥了💕

Our very first Broadway show in NYC was Book of Mormon. Years ago, UN told me he didn’t get a birthday present for me, instead only gave me a card. When I opened the card, there were Book of Mormon tickets inside, I was moved to tears! I wasn’t living in NYC yet at the time, could only watch clips of Broadway shows on YouTube. I cherished the opportunity to watch a live Broadway show. After I moved to NYC, I watch on average one show per week, nearly forgot how precious it was when I watched my first show. Instead, I started critiquing them. UN bought Book of Mormons tickets again today. A mixed bag of emotions. Happy that we got to rewatch our first and one of our favorite Broadway shows, but sad that this may be the last show that we get to watch in NYC.

During intermission, UN helped a lady who fainted! I’m utterly impressed!
