Hitting Broadway Schenck-Style

After work today Elizabeth and I changed clothes and headed to Times Square to meet up with her parents. We went to a small hole-in-the-wall pizza place that is a favorite of Elizabeth’s (she discovered it while working at Broadway New York) and then we headed over to the Imperial Theater.

Mama Dell and Daddy Schenck wanted to share the stage experience with us…so they’d gotten tickets for all four of us to Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Mama Dell had scored front row mezzanine seats and they were awesome.

I don’t know what I enjoyed more…the show or listening and seeing her parent’s reaction to the story and lyrics. Half the time I was laughing at them laughing.

It really is a very fun show. It has everything. It is funny. Serious. There’s dancing, mystery, romance.

It was a great night at the theater and so much fun to share it with others.

Elizabeth’s Mom & Dad have spoiled us. Last night they took us to a wonderful dinner and tonight the show. They’ve been exploring the city during the day and spending time with us at night. It’s been a lot of fun. When I met them last night at the restaurant, as Daddy Schenck hugged me and said, “Hey son.”

It was nice to be with “family” again.
