New York: Day One Hundred and Forty-Five - Evening (12 March)

This was the evening we were going to the New Amsterdam Theatre so we had an early dinner at Simply Pasta. (Did you know New York used to be called New Amsterdam?)

The theatre itself is stunning. It was restored in 1995 to its original 1903 style. Unfortunately we didn't have a camera with us because we knew we couldn't take photos of the show itself, which was Mary Poppins.


What a fantastic show and we couldn't have had better seats, only five rows from the stage. The acrobatics were especially impressive.

As I haven't got a photo of the theatre, I'm attaching a picture of one of the statues in Central Park. Do you recognise who the figures are? That's right - they're characters from Alice in Wonderland.
