42nd Street
The theater has always been a favorite pastime of mine. I love to go and watch a great show: a ballet, an opera, a musical, or just a play, I jump at the chance to enjoy a good show! Standing on a Broadway stage has always been a dream of mine. Although, I knew it would never happen due to the fact that I was blessed with the ability to sing every note off key! However, this far off fairy-tale-of-a-dream became reality when I got the opportunity to visit my friend Jessamy in New York last summer. Jessamy was one of the fourteen girls that got accepted to the most prestigious ballet schools in the country. She got the chance to spend the summer in New York City, and take classes at the School of American Ballet, directed y George Balanchine.

It truly was an unbelievable production filled with amazing dancing, singing, and acting. It was weird to see a friend of ours dancing on Broadway! After the show we went to the stage door, where apparently, there is a 42nd Street fan club waiting outside. I had never been to the stage door of a Broadway show, so I was unaware of the people it attracted. It looked like a Backstreet Boys concert with posters and autographs and everything! We were way in the back of the crowd when Todd came out. He had not received our note so he began to walk away, and we all started yelling to him.
