Andy and I are headed to see the new Harry Potter play in a couple of weeks, kicking off a two-part Broadway visit that will conclude with our annual Mother’s Day weekend. That means, in spite of what the outside atmosphere is telling us, spring is decidedly in the air. For this first trip we’ll be staying at the Muse Hotel – a Kimpton property that proves a perfect respite from the bustle of Times Square yet still manages to be conveniently on its doorstep.
I’m in the process of figuring out dining options – Andy is partial to Italian and steak; I just want somewhere pretty. We’ll magically meet in the middle, since magic is what Harry Potter is all about. Speaking of HP, reviews of the London production were stellar when it opened last year, and I’ve heard similar whispers coming from the Broadway previews. Some people might scoff at a two-part play, to which I simply have three words: ‘Angels in America’. While Harry Potter may not be as groundbreaking as that seminal theatrical event (currently revived and astounding all over again), it will surely be as enchanting.
