A couple of weekends ago, my friend Katy and her beau came to visit! Katy and I used to sing in a jazz band together in Iowa City. We became friends with a common love for music and theatre. Our “band” was interesting and had many performers rotating, but they were all awesome and wildly talented. I learned so much by just listening to everyone.
Considering our background, a Broadway show was certainly fitting! It wasn’t planned, but it was a welcome surprise after helping out my friends who had a long (very long and lost) journey to the city. Plus, what’s a weekend without a little “back and forth”? 
We went to La Cage and it was awesome! Kelsey Grammer wasn’t at our performance, but his understudy was a fantastic actor.
It was a very colorful show and the stage was very bright.
I loved the idea of getting some pink hearts!
Once I started with the hearts, I couldn’t stop!
Until it started pouring! But luckily we made it inside first!
After dinner, I had to show them this crazy, awesome row of Indian restaurants. These guys all fight to get you into their restaurant, claiming it’s “brighter!” It’s really fun. 
Anyway, aren’t they adorable?
So are we!
miss you ms. Richter!
Hope you had a wonderful summer vacation!
