Awesome Show...Surprised all of Us

the heart of NYC....

getting ready for "Spiderman"!

Elyse and Alex afterwards..Will on the side

Friday night we loaded up and headed into the city.  We had been up since 1:30 AM, but we were ready and excited to head into the city and meet the boys.  James and Will met us after football practice and we had a wonderful meal full of laughter and "catching up" at a restaurant I would suggest all to go to if you are every in NYC!  Not sure the name...Connie would tell you...but it was yummy and perfect for all of us.  If I think back now about it, there were so many smiles at the table and "toast" given by everyone....it couldn't have been more wonderful to reconnect to the Deutmeyer family!  Very special dinner with very special people.

Then we headed to our show....yes...was saw "Spiderman...something Darkness".  I can't remember the exact title.   We were all a little unsure what to expect but we wanted to go to something that none of us, including the Deutmeyers had seen.  Needless to say, we thought it was AMAZING!  The kids, and Wayne, were totally shocked at the techno side of it.  Spiderman and the Green Goblin were flying above us (yes we had super seats, Thanks Dennis!) and the stage setup and visual aspects were fabulous!  While it was not the traditional Broadway, it was intense and the music, written by Bono from U2, was great!  I would see it again as the casting was perfect!  The two who were most hesitate about it, Wayne and Elyse, both left with some tshirts and the soundtrack, as they loved it!  They will know now to trust Connie and myself.  Right Connie?  Connie said she liked it but preferred the traditional "Broadway" shows....but she still thought it was good and intense!

Our drive home was super...all 9 of us in the Deutmeyers suburban.  Being it was Halloween weekend, the scenery in TimesSquare and the surrounding areas was "interesting".  Lots of jokes were made about "pants being overrated".  More wonderful memories!

I must give a shout out to William and James for being such great host and treating Elyse and Alex like close cousins.  They had a super time....including the wrestling match between Elyse and Will that will be posted next.  Thanks for giving up your bedrooms as well....we owe you! The kid had a super time because of you so thanks so much!

So...if you have a chance to see "Spiderman" on Broadway in New York City....do it!  Amazing!
