OHMYGOD HEY!
After years of being a theatre obsessive, last month I finally took my first ever trip to New York City and Broadway with my stagey boyfriend Aeron James.
In Part 3 of the vlog series we finally make it to Central Park, see shows including SHUCKED and SOME LIKE IT HOT and of course attend the final preview performance of BAD CINDERELLA.
Check it out and don't forget to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss the next installment!

Did I get completely obsessed with Shucked? Yes, yes indeed! 🌽🌽🌽
As you should, It’s such a gem of a show! Wish I was able to see you all when you were in NY ✨
Great show.
It looks really interesting, gonna check it out more :)
Saw the second preview and agree with you
I love the way that Carolee Carmelo described ALW as a “very special baby”
Favorite moment by far: MIckeyJo's whiplash transition from "I refuse to wear red and black" to showing the reverse of the bucket hat. And Aeron's jacket was amazing!
Awww, that's my friend Richard answering questions onstage at Some Like It Hot! I dressed him in a regional theater production of Singin' In The Rain, and I'm so happy he's back tapping his ass off on Broadway.
As someone who was born and raised in New York City, seeing a pig walked on a leash definitely isn't the weirdest thing I have seen in New York City.
I once saw a guy on a skateboard, with a french bulldog on a leash on another skateboard.
@@callalily3994 I was going through Central Park and saw a fleet of middle aged men riding by on children's tricycles!
From a fellow New Yorker that’s mild lol. I’ve seen that guy on the skateboard with the dog.❤
As someone who lives in NYC it has been so cute watching you and Aaron discover the city! So glad you had a great time
aeron's smile brings so much joy
You gotta give Bad Cinderella one thing: The curtain call looks super fun.
1. The fountain in Central Park is also where princess Giselle sang the iconic "That's How You Know" in Enchanted
2. I remember when I went to Bad Cinderella they brought out the ghostlight even before the audience was out, like curtain down, count 30 seconds, curtain up, bring in the ghostlight.
3. In Phantom you could even see them lowering the chandelier post show as well as the travelator when they bring out the ghostlight
And the fountain is also where everyone got baptized in the movie of Godspell.
And the fountain where Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick splash around in, in the movie version of the musical of the Producers
Is the fountain of Angels in America and "Hair"❤
As a person living in Denmark I am living vicariously through these vlogs❤️
I am doing the same from Australia :)
Same from Italy. I went to London several time, but never attended a musical there
Two of my roommates work for Drama Book Shop and when I first started living with them, I couldn’t get over how casual a relationship they have with Lin Manuel Miranda. 😂
I’m loving that you guys have had such great experiences. The Lin Manuel Miranda part sort of made me teary. Kimberly Akimbo is still the best show I have seen in the last several years. It just gets better and better as I ponder it. I was hoping to hear more of a reaction.
I feel like he purposefully doesn't do that in the vlog to have material for all the review videos.
I saw Kimberly Akimbo last month and agree with you. It’s my favorite new musical!
Agreed - I think a separate video will (hopefully) be dedicated to KA as well as the other shows too :)
I am so living vicariously through these vlogs...i've been to NYC a few times on short school trips to see some shows, but have yet to truly visit like i want to so desperately
I always purposefully go into shows knowing as little as possible because it really makes that first experience as special and authentic as possible and I really enjoy that. Though I recognize how that may not always be possible if you are someone people (including me) look to as kind of a first-responder for theatre news.
Edit: I'll be in nyc at the end of june and I really hope the OBC Shucked cast is still there. It keeps rising on my list of shows to see
I agree with you. The shows I’ve enjoyed the most have been the ones I knew the least about going in
Absolute whirlwind of sightseeing, shows, eating and drinking. I don't know how you two kept your energy level up. I had a similar schedule of activities and I confess I was done in by the end of my stay. You've given me ideas of things to do for my trip in June.
Loved the Jekyll and Hyde reference Mickey
“This is the moment, this is the day”
I loved this show, sorry not sorry 😊
Living down under here on the other side of the world, I can tell you I'm living vicariously through these vlogs... absolutely loving it!
Oh my god, HEY "Sugar" was the name of the first musical adaption of Some Like it Hot, with Bobby Morse and Tony Roberts. 1974, revived in Mexico City in 2019, music by Funny Girls' Jule Styne
This was so much fun! I love all your vlogs of your time in NYC. Even more than when you are in your home town because I live in Oregon and rarely get to NYC but I have at least 7 times so seeing all the things I love with you makes me smile the whole time. I was especially excited when you saw Lin, OMG!! I can hardly wait until the next NYC vlog! 🥰
I had to add that I love your home based volgs as much I as these. I just feel more like I am with you because I know NYC better!🙂
okay, i do want the little bad cinderella neckerchief tie thing. it's so cute, and the bucket hat with the print on the inside is adorable too
I really hope Alex Newell sing Independently Owned at The Tony or at least at the next Thanksgiving Parade!
Ps: I knew you would go with The Prohibition Punch!
You two are so great together. Love seeing you both so happy.
I saw Some Like it hot on a whim Thursday night, and I loved it. Such a fun show.
I can't believe you bumped into Lin!! That is awesome❣️
Just became a channel member and caught your live Q & A which was fun. I was in NYC the same time you guys were - I went for my birthday and saw Kimberly Akimbo, which I thought was so original and moving - LOVED it! I was very fortunate to meet the super gracious and talented Victoria Clark. Can’t wait for the rest of your videos, especially your Kimberly Akimbo review! Also visited the Top of the Rock,The Drama Book Shop, Sardi’s and Schmackary’s. Didn’t make it to The Museum of Broadway but really enjoyed your video and will have to visit next time. Loving all these NYC Broadway vlogs! Thanks for sharing your trip with us! 🤗❤️🎭
Huge fan of Alex Newell! Coincidentally I spend this afternoon playing UA-cam videos of him (mostly from Glee) to my 13 yr old daughter, who is watching Glee for the first time. In her opinion, she reckons he has to be in with a shout for the ‘best voice in Glee’ award!
PS apologies if I have the wrong pronouns- I read earlier that Alex is known as he/him, but if they are they/them, I’m sorry for getting it wrong, it wasn’t intentional!
Several years ago, I was in the Drama Book Shop with a few friends. I was helping one friend with some research she was doing, while the other two friends browsed. I vaguely noticed a guy come in and start talking to the people working there, but I didn't really pay much attention, because I was looking at the books. When we left, one of my other friends (not the one I was researching with) was like, "OK, so we all saw that was Brian Stokes Mitchell who was talking to the guys at the counter, right?"
I love that you ran into Lin!
Omg timestamp I completely missed that lol.
14:15 They don’t show him in the vlog. They tell the story of seeing him in The Drama Bookshop.
I am so glad you did get a chance to go to Marie’s ❤❤❤ Marie’s is my favorite bar by far
I saw Bad Cinderella on Bway last night, and did a search for numbers from the show on UA-cam when I came home. That's how I discovered your UA-cam channel, and stayed up nearly all night watching your videos. You're so knowledgeable & entertaining, it's easy to become addicted. lol You do great work, I hope you're in NYC more often cause I'd look forward to your takes on more Broadway shows. Cheers!
The bucket hat was waiting for you, Mickey.
I've followed Alex Newell's career since he was on the Glee Project. Also, he's from my home state of Massachusetts.
These vlogs are reminding me of my 2019 New York Trip I did nearly all the main attractions and saw a broadway show each night we were there as well loving the vlogs can't wait for more : D
Looking forward to your Shucked review.
You are a lucky lucky man to have Aeron in your life - the Bethesda Fountain is my favourite places in the world
Loving just watching you walk and talk.....esp spotting Aladdin and Moulin Rouge marquees
I love all these cool New York experiences you got to have
Loving your NY vlogs so much!!
I've enjoyed your trip to my city. I must see "Shucked" and "Some Like It Hot" now. Yes, New York is huge. It seems that you guys are mostly in Midtown West. You should come back and explore other areas and Off and Off Off Broadway theaters
New subscriber here !!!!! Looking forward to catching up on old content and seeing new content
Am I the only one who hates choreographed bows? I think it’s really sad when the cast have to essentially bow in character. The bows should be to appreciate the actors themselves and their performance, not the character.
I'm not sure what the intent is but I always interpret the performance of choreographed bows as looser and less in-character (if they're in character at all) vs the actual show. Ditto if the the cast sing during or after bows, that they're performing as themselves rather than the characters (think Hadestown). But Bad Cinderella seems particularly over-the-top in a bad way, like when the ensemble keep dancing into the middle to back up each principle actor as they dance into their bow and then moving to the side again. Seems more forced.
I think it depends on the show. like a show like Cats, if you drop your character and just bow like a person, imo it detracts from the show (maybe that's just from having been in it, idk). also Six (which I know is, like, a total 180 from my last example) where the cast are encouraged to bring as much of themselves to their portrayals of the Queens as possible, it's almost indistinguishable if they're bowing as themselves or the character, which I personally love.
(apologies if this is poorly worded, I'm incredibly tired and out of it lol)
Nah, I love dancing.
Just saw it today & I couldn’t agree more! There is an epidemic of terrible curtain calls on B’way lately.
@@rorycharlesworthingtonThai doesn’t have anything to do with vows but I think cats and six have more in common than you thought like characters constantly braking the fourth wall singing about themselves to win a contest about how wonderful/shitty their lives have been
I’ve heard such great things about Kimberly Akimbo! It is at the top of my list.
So jealous you saw Lin at the Drama Book Shop. It’s such a cool place.
Glad you had a clear day for Top of the Rock.
Awesome you had a Q & A at Some Like it Hot.
Agreed, very cool about the Q & A
The origins of your iconic bucket hat explained
I love these Broadway vlogs!
I’m patiently waiting for your Funny Girl review.
I am really hoping that you plan to visit NY again to see more shows and maybe some off Broadway shows. I can recommend an excellent restaurant for before or after theater dining and for weekend brunch. It is called the West Bank Cafe. I have eaten there and the food is top-notch. My cousin knows the owner. It is also home to the Laurie Beachman theatre which is a small downstairs location that hosts different events.
I don't know why, but I really like the way Aeron really enunciates when he says "Jamba Juice." It just makes it sound so sophisticated. 🤭❤️
Also, the Caribbean Passion was my favorite growing up! Although I'm in a bit of an Orange Dream Machine Renaissance at the moment.
love this, this was such a fun vlog to watch
despite the critisicm, the 2 best things about your Cinderella footage was the final curtain live, such a treat, and i have to say a really beautiful sounding Happy Birthday😮
I am so jealous of you guys right now lol but I’m glad you had a fun time! 😁
I am so excited to hear your thoughts on Without You 😊 no matter in which Vlog it will come up
thanx for sharing this!!
So glad you are enjoying my city!! You are in my hood! I live at 45/9th across the street from Schmackerys!
Ohhhh,mom so lad you went to Marie’s ❤️❤️❤️
"New York is small." You are in Manhattan only! It's one of five boroughs. I hope you got to see a bit of Brooklyn.
Really enjoyed the Jekyll & Hyde reference 😆
Hope you got a chance to see Sweeney with Groban!
They did!
You guys seem so happy in NYC. Perhaps relocate to the city for a few months/years, for there are so many opportunities in NYC. I hope you don't mind the intrusion.
Can we talk about the Mickey Jo doppelgänger in the Bad Cinderella ensemble tho
The birthday greetings to Webber made me vomit a little in my mouth.
Thanks!
When the original Spats couldn't perform, the Director/Choreographer (Casey Nicholaw) took over briefly. Apparently you just missed him.
I saw S.L.I.H. with the original Spats. I think I liked it best of the shows I saw when I did NYC last year.
There are some good theatres in Harlem. Did you have a chance to check out any musical theatre productions in Harlem (i.e. - the Dempsey Theater, the Harlem Stage, and the Classical Theatre of Harlem) whilst you were in the UK?
Brilliant
I believe New York is about half to 2/3 the size of London but with about double the population
Lol did i ever tell you about the time I think I met Lin? I was stage dooring at a West End show and I got chatting to a guy and his wife and then when the cast member I had gone to see came out they were clearly friends.I didn't know at that time what he looked like but when I sawa pic later I was like ok i think that was Lin. it all tracks out because the 2 are friends and Lin was working in London at the time. Really amused to see you guys also had a random enoounter!!
I wonder if they'll add corn puddin' to the menu? EEEEEWW HUNK
I've come to see the bucket hat.
I bumped into you in Nee York😂
Why the Shucked drinks aren't just all Bourbon, I'll never know. By definition, Bourbon must include corn in the mash bill. Not to mention it being the original American whiskey, just the thing to acquaint tourists with our style of drinking.
The Bethesda fountain is also where Jesus gets baptized in the Godspell movie
So, can anyone who's seen Schucked describe it?
I've been reading about it, but I've yet to come across anything resembling a synopsis....
Hope you got some birthday cake 🍰
I know it doesn't exactly fit in the song but surely surely any musical theatre fan goes up to lin Manuel Miranda and goes "excuse are you lin Manuel Miranda,sir" and just hope his reply is "that depends who's asking" to which I would say "oh sure sir I'm..."...is that just me or would anyone else do that
Just noticed you wear a Claddagh and ❤🇮🇪🍀
We both have Claddagh rings! 😁
@@AeronJames aww thank you for answering Aeron. I'm actually spanish I'm just a humble irish-phile so to speak and l found it super cute! Hola desde España 🇪🇸!
Did you get to go downtown to see Hamilton's resting place or uptown to Harlem to see the house he lived in?
bring usa's love for butter back to the uk ... you can have bigger portions lol
Is 42nd street not euphoric tap? It is for me 😂
Shucked is on my lost of shows to see…bootleg incoming🤣
I fear for your luggage allowance when you returned home; that's a lot of merch!
Honestly it was a close call
NYC -- being one of the oldest cities in the US -- is steeped in history wherever you go. It was the original national capital, before the building of Washington. In some places, the old cobblestone paving still exists.
Every time I pass by the fountain I always think of Angels in America. I HATED Kimberly Akimbo and didn't like Some Like It Tepid, haven't seen Shucked yet, but may give it a try. I hope you saw LEA in Funny Girl, that's the best show in town. I also enjoyed New York, NY, but I think that started previews after you left- NY NY is a great Kander and Ebb tribute.
I saw New York, New York. Enjoyed it immensely. Much better than the movie!
Can we have a converstaion? I was a bartender at Kinky Boots for 4 years. And you're all being ripped off.
Of course, but if that's what you want, you're going to get ripped off getting it
From that vantage point you understand why New Yorker cover where everything beyond Manhattan is a vast waste land.
I'm not being an ass. But New Yorkers show up 5 minutes before.
Since they are not New Yorkers, what is your point?
Hey!! Someone from Beetlejuice in Some Like It Hot!! So cool! I had so much fun seeing the show their final Friday evening performance. I went with two people prepared to to not enjoy it who wound up having a BLAST. 🪲🧃 That was my last NYC trip, and I'm glad to see you both seemed to enjoy yours as well!
