Let’s recap Good Night, Oscar’s star-studded opening night

I survived a close encounter of the Jason Bateman kind last Monday at the opening night of Good Night, Oscar on Broadway. If you followed my Instagram stories that day, you watched it all unfold in real time at the Belasco (Tabasco?) Theatre. For the rest of you, I’ll recap here and share some photos…

A Super Shot of NSYNC NYC Nostalgia

While I waited outside the Good Morning America studios in Times Square almost a year ago to stake out a pre-work Jason Bateman sighting as he promoted the final season of Ozark, I had a lot of time to myself and my thoughts during those wee morning hours. As I listened to Smartless to set…

Self-Love is in the air

If the month of February had a color palette, I think we can all agree it’d be 50 shades of red…the color of love. Walk into any store leading up to Valentine’s Day, and you’re bombarded with red decor galore and heart-shaped versions of everything from candy and cookies (of course) to makeup (sure) to…

Breaking my blogging drought

Happy New Year! Hard to believe it’s already February, and I’m just now sitting down to reflect on my 2022. It’s my own fault, of course…there’s always something happening somewhere in NYC, and it’s hard not to get caught up in the constant FOMO of it all. So this year, one of my goals is…

An Afternoon at the Theater without my Phone

Last month, I snagged a rush ticket to one of the many, highly anticipated shows hitting Broadway this spring, Second Stage Theater’s production of Take Me Out. A revival of the Tony-Award winning play by Richard Greenberg, I wasn’t overly familiar with the storyline beyond the blurb I read online while grabbing by ticket. Even…

But I’ve recently found some super cool organizations that operate their own event venues that I’m excited to share with you. Here we go… 92nd…

TV Taping Tickets 101: How to See Your Favorite Talk Shows for Free

Seven years ago this week, I was here in NYC on vacation and knocking so many firsts off my bucket list — devouring the famous cronut, witnessing my first real snowfall, enjoying NYC pizza, seeing my first Broadway shows and attending my first TV talk show tapings. It was a trip I’ll never forgot for…

It’s time to talk about the SmartLess shows

If you’ve been following my adventures, you know this weekend was essentially my Super Bowl. I may be utterly exhausted, but my heart is bursting with joy. And unlike the actual Super Bowl, everyone’s a winner. The weekend was such a whirlwind that it’s all starting to blur together and the individual stories from each…

We need to talk about last night

I’ve come down enough from last night’s event to actually put together a coherent recap, so let’s do it.  Jason Bateman was named the Hasty Pudding Theatricals (Harvard University’s theater group) Man of the Year for 2022. The event was held at Farkas Hall on the Harvard campus. The theater was tiny, I think it…
