Broadway so far

Last night - Mary Stuart and tonight In The Heights. Very different but both great.

Mary Stuart was incredibly enjoyable, despite being a 2 hour 50 minute period piece about Mary Queen of Scots and Queen Elizabeth. The acting was fantastic and the set design and costumes were great. It absolutely held the audience's attention and I highly recommend it.

In The Heights is a new(ish) musical set in Washington Heights - a hispanic neighbourhood in Manhattan. It has won numerous Tony awards, including best musical. Sort of a mix of hiphop and Latin-American music. A great (and attractive) cast, great songs and a good story. Also highly recommended
