It was better than Cats
Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to see a show on Broadway. Yesterday, I got my chance.
I went to see a show at the Hudson Theatre that centered on middle-age men working in the world of real estate. They spoke of current market conditions, privatizations, consolidation and M&A activity. The show was not for young audiences as the F-bomb was dropped on at least two occasions.
While this wasn't a typical Broadway show, it was a lot of fun taking in the history of the theatre itself. When I found myself bored with talk of cap rates, I marveled at the theatre's decor. It's hard to believe the building, which was built in 1903, had housed everything from successful plays to The Tonight Show, as well as a brief run as a pornographic-movie house.
The theatre is now used by The Millennium Broadway Hotel for conferences and events. But, still, it's Broadway. And, being there was better than Cats.
