So … I am really enjoying my time here in NYC. As I’ve mentioned before, it’s the first time I’ve been to the Big Apple all by myself and I am really loving it. I spent part of my afternoon yesterday checkin’ out stuff on 5th Ave and then bummin’ around SoHo. It was hot as hell, y’all but I soldiered on. It started to rain a little bit so I snuck into Boqueria on Spring St. for some white sangria and tapas:

‘Twas very delish. I couldn’t stay out too long cuz I had to get home and changed for my night on Broadway. I managed to get a pretty great ticket for Hair, which won the Tony Award for Best Musical Revival at the 2009 Tony Awards this year. After hearing so many good things about it, I had to check it out for myself:

After the jump, check out what I thought about the show, for those of you interested …

OMG, Hair on Broadway is such a great show … I loved it entirely!

I suppose you could call Hair the original Rent … the subject matter is quite controversial, I cannot believe it was able to be produced in the late 60′s. The language and nudity really made the show feel authentic. Listening to many of the lyrics, about the discrimination of Black people here in the US, and considering the changes made form 1967 to 2009 really hit home for me. The show is all emotion … all you do is feel for the entire duration, it’s a pretty amazing thing to witness. I was seated next to a gentleman who told me that he saw the original production of Hair in 1967 two weeks after it opened on Broadway. He thought the revival was very true to the original and he was very pleased with it. I loved it entirely. I wholly recommend that y’all see it as well. Great, great show.

Tonight, tho, begins my NINventure here in NYC. The first show of the final leg of the Wave Goodbye Tour takes place tonight at the Bowery Ballroom:

I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED! I’ll do my best to share as much of the experience as I can with all y’all. I’ll take pics, tweets, whatevs. Here we go.
