Warhorse and The Attack of the evil Chuckie Cheese!

October 29, 2011, the trip to the City steps off into some strange day. At the Museum of The City of New York we have a tour of an exhibit on the World Trade Center and Twin Towers through photography, it was very interesting, but strange as our tour guide, the Manhattan borough historian, disappeared after having us watch a very interesting film on the history of New York City. After the museum we head to Lincoln Center for Warhorse. The day gets strange as snow starts falling, in the middle of autumn really? Yes snow in NYC. After walking around for a little before the show, we get to the theater and see a great performance of Warhorse. The use of the life size puppets was amazing. After Warhorse we were off to Times Square, once again I wonder around a little, not the best weather for it, but I don't mind. I ended up having dinner at my favorite restaurant Virgil's once again. Then onto Spiderman Turn Off The Dark. In my opinion it was not the greatest at all. As one cast member said that it is the most famous show on Broadway, I agree for the idea that its the most famous worst show on Broadway. To me the costumes appeared as it was a Chuckie Cheese that attempted to be scary but ended up being extremely funny. In the end the only positive thing about the show was the set design. The intricate layout of items of the set coming from the floor and the ceiling and sides of the stage made up for the awful soundtrack and off key singing of the majority of the lead role actors.

  1. You're really right about the Chuckie Cheese comparison. They seemed like they were just fun dressed up characters that did not end up menacing at all. What a disappointment.
