NYC Day 2

We started the day by going to the Museum of Broadway, 145 West 45th Street. If you ever go to NYC, you MUST visit this museum! It's so much fun! Purchase tickets ahead of time and allot at least 2-3 hours.

It's close to Times Square, so it's easy to get to. 


As you go through the museum, there are plenty of guides to show you things and talk about stuff. 


 The museum has hand written concept notes, playbills, posters, costumes, props, sets miniatures, video, vignettes, from beginning to present.

Next we headed to Fox News Studio to get in line to be in the studio audience at GUTFELD! We got free tickets months prior, but on the day of you still have to get in line early because they expect some people not to show up. Plus there are people without tickets at the back of the line. It was a long process to get into the building, get briefed and coached about how to be an audience, then the taping took 30 minutes. It was super fun! Since it was a Friday, they taped the show earlier than normal, which was nice because we had another show to attend in the evening.

For lunch/dinner we headed down the street to eat SOUP DUMPLINGS and they were divine. Dim Sum Palace at 334 W 46th St. So so so good. 

One of the reasons we decided to go to NYC now was to see Aaron Tveit in Mouline Rouge (he was nearing the end of his run in the show). We are so glad we went. HE WAS INCREDIBLE! The show itself was a spectacle. 

After the show he was on stage for a while getting people to donate to Broadway Cares. Two people bid up for the chance to meet him backstage.
