"once" on broadway

we've always been big fans of

broadway musicals...and not 

just me, both of us! we've seen

lots together and separately, 

and when we were dating chase

surprised me with NYC for valentines

with 5 broadway shows in one

weekend. (standing room tickets

for us college kids!!) safe to say

we've seen our fair share, and on

any given day it's no surprise to

hear chase belting out broadway

songs in the shower... :) we

wanted to see once on our last

new york trip...but ended up

seeing pippin instead. so when we

saw that it was coming to SF at 

the curran theater right by us,

chase got us tickets for my birthday

and we finally went! this post is overdue

from last month... it was sitting 

in my drafts but here it is!

the entire theater is so old-fashioned + beautiful.

waiting for the show to start! this show is really

unique in lots of ways, one being that before it

begins there is a live irish "pub scene" on stage

where audience members can go buy drinks and

cast members are playing music. (you can see this

happening in the background ^^) it's lively and fun

and really different from any other broadway. it

feels more relaxed and open from the get-go.

^^ cheesy picture by the cheesy tagline,

but the show and music are darling.

i loved the accents, the simplicity, and

the acoustic music stripped down of all

the normal broadway fanfare..although we

love the classics, once is refreshing and new.

really though, this chandelier...

it is a show-stopper itself!

thanks for the date night, husband!

i hope we always see broadways together

and that you never stop singing them :)
