My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
Prologue:
Yeah I know, another post about New York City. Oh well, what can I tell you other than I've been in a New York state of mind for the past three months. I mean, you would think that I live there from all the posts I share about it, right? I find myself going to visit at least once or twice a month because right now, New York City is where my passion lies. And just between you and I, I can so see myself living there again. You never know.

Last Wednesday, when it was 100 degrees and extremely humid, I took another trip into Manhattan. Now you all know how much I can't stand being hot yet, I will endure the physical torture I feel regardless if I'm in New York because I love that city. However, I will tell you the heat that day had me almost to the point of shaking both my fists up to the sky and screaming, "TURN THE FRIGGIN' HEAT OFF...I FEEL LIKE A FRIED OMELETTE!!!"
I drank about 8 bottles of cold water and kept running in to air-conditioned buildings just to cool down. Because just like everything in New York City is bigger, so is the summer heat. And this is coming from someone who lived in Florida for 20 years. So trust me when I tell you that the heat in New York during the summer is HUGE.
I decided on this recent trip to visit the theater district and surrounding area because I wanted to take photographs of some of the current Broadway shows. I was in other sections as well, but my main focus was the vibrant color and electricity of Times Square and Broadway...
Landmark statue of George M. Cohan, who was an American entertainer, playwright, composer, lyricist, actor, singer, dancer and producer.
Matilda The Musical - this theater is where I saw the original company perform the 1975 smash hit musical, A Chorus Line
School of Rock - the Winter Garden Theater is where Barbra Streisand performed in the Broadway musical, Funny Girl, in 1964
Hamilton has impacted Broadway with such magnitude because of its brilliant creative uniqueness. It is one of those shows that comes along once in a million and universally touches the human spirit.

I saved my favorite for last. Currently the hottest musical on Broadway is Hamilton. I've not seen it yet, however, I'm familiar with the show and music, and it's faaaaaaaaabulous! Ticket prices range from $139 to $549, both of which are currently sold out.
My friend, Mark, also feels passionate about Hamilton; therefore I wanted to take some photographs of the Richard Rodgers Theater and marquee, so I could send them to him...
