gotta love free Broadway

tonight, Grace and I went to Central Park to catch "Broadway in the Park", an annual outdoor free summertime performance of different Broadway performers singing showtunes on the Great Lawn. it's one of the cool yearly performances held in Central Park that allows tens of thousands of people to just lay out on blankets on the lawn with food and groups of friends just enjoying a relaxing, musical evening of Broadway (an awesome summertime experience).

we didn't recognize many of the Broadway songs performed, so i was excited when i finally knew one song, and it happened to be from one of my favorite musical movies, "West Side Story". the song was the duet "Tonight", during the part when Maria and Tony first falls in love. i love that movie! i watched it when i was a young girl and totally loved it. :) but i digress...

so anyways, Grace and I both realized that we actually recognized the song, so we looked at each other with excitement.
both of us: ooooh!
me: West Side Story!
Grace (laughs): i was gonna say West Side Highway!
me: hahaha! West Side Highway!!!
Grace: i'm being too Manhattan!

for those who don't know, the West Side Highway is a local highway that runs along the Hudson River on the West Side of Manhattan. so yeah, i can see how that could be an easy slip-up by accidentally confusing the name of a famous musical with a Manhattan highway... but only if you're a New Yorker! hehe!
