My weekend in NYC

I spent Saturday and Sunday in NYC visiting friends and seeing the FABULOUS Broadway show, "Hairspray."

I LOVED the show. It is based on the 1980s movie by John Waters that starred Ricki Lake and Divine as a family in Baltimore during the turbulent era of the 1960s. The musical has such energy and sweetness, even as it tackles the topic of desegregation. I could only afford a cheap seat so I was waaaaaaaaay up in the nosebleed section. But it was great from up there. So bright and funny.
