Another Opening, Another Show...

Hair ~ Summer 2011

We put on our peace sign

attire and wove some

flowers in our hair and

went to the Broadway

Opening Night of Hair.

Going to a Broadway play is

always exciting but going to

an opening night on Broadway

is very exciting.  There is a

heightened sense of anticipation

for the audience and the company.

This is it.  This is the big moment.

We clapped and swayed and sung

along to Aquarius, Hair, Easy to

be Hard, Good Morning Starshine.

But the best part for me was

when the cast invites some of the

audience members to come on stage

for the After Show Dance Party.

My kids, Brennan & Kate got to

do this and it was very exciting to

see them singing and dancing to

Let the Sun Shine In with the cast.

Being ON a Broadway stage on an

Opening Night is something they

will never forget.

But that's not all...

Afterwards, on a rooftop 33 floors

above Times Square we went to

the Opening Night Party.

We enjoyed great food and

drinks and lovely company

with old and new friends.

We discussed travel and art

and the world and reflected

on just how lucky we are.

And in grand Murphy tradition,

we were some of the last to leave

and then we strolled home in the

wee hours of the morning.
