Friday night wrap

Today was another busy day. After the morning's breakfast, rehearsal & museum tour, we had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe, followed by the play 'In The Heights'. Dinner was about what you would expect to have if you showed up with 120 people wanting to eat at the same time; not bad, but not necessarily great. A great place, though. Below are lots of photos of kids eating, hopefully all of them.

The play was dominated by the presence of Corbin Bleu, apparently a star of 'High School Musical' (why this information escaped me until now I can't say, but now I'm very familiar with it). His initial arrival on stage was greeted by so many screaming girls I thought for a moment that he was Paul McCartney (how's that for being old)? It's an interesting story of the changes in a New York neighborhood (Washington Heights), predominantly latino, among residents & business people. The music was interesting & the characters compelling, but the sound was a little poorly amplified. Most of the kids seemed to enjoy it a lot; apparently Corbin was very gracious signing autographs as he exited the stage door.

After the play was a stroll home through the quite busy Times Square on a Friday night, followed by lights out. Tomorrow: The Competition!

Pictures from today are below, including a shot of the US Navy Rock Band playing in Times Square...
