Where To Eat In NYC

So let's say you are planing a trip to New York City in the coming months. Now of course you are  probably going to see a show or two, and probably visit a few museums and shops while you are here as well. It is New York City after all. But let's say you get a little hungry in between all of those things. Where do you eat?

Well I guess you could stop by Olive Garden, or one of our many TGI Friday's or Applebees. Don't you dare! They don't call us the "Food Capitol of the World" for nothing after all. The only question is of course where to eat? Well thankfully for you, you have come to the right place.

Because we here at Applause love to eat. I mean who doesn't really? Now I have always been more of a meat and potatoes kind of guy. Although I do love me a good pasta now and then, not too mention pizza. Oh and don't forget barbecue as well as the occasional seafood meal.

That's what' so great about New York City. We have it all. Now for those of you who would like a few suggestions on what a true New Yorker likes to eat, Todd Freeman in my office, has compiled a list of some of the best restaurants to check out while you are here. Not only is the food amazing, but so are the prices. Who doesn't love a bargain? I know I sure do. Happy eating everyone!

See Waitress For Less This Summer

Still haven't seen Waitress yet? Well, there is no better time than the present. The show, which currently stars American Idol alum and Smash and Scorpion star Katherine McPhee, is one of the most uplifting and heartfelt shows on the Great White Way. Now I love the movie. Although to be honest, I am not a huge fan when producers take a successful movie and turn it into a big splashy Broadway musical. I never have been.

Yes I know there have been quite a few successes over the years, with Hairspray, Once, Billy Elliot and Kinky Boots being the most recent examples of those that went on to win multiple Tony Awards, and enjoyed long runs as well.

Well as it turns out, I had nothing to worry about.Not only did I love the show, but it went on to be one of the biggest success stories of the 2015-2016 Broadway season, and continues to play to packed houses eight times a week at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre.

Now for those of you who still want to see the show, you are in luck.We sell it. In fact if you call right now, we can get you tickets to see the show at prices that can't be beat. Be advised that while this "Special Offer" is good thru September 2, it is for select seats only, and as always subject to availability. Get your tickets to see Waitress on Broadway at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. You will love it. I know I did. Until next time theatre fans.

Supergirl To Make Her Broadway Debut

What's that you say? There's a superhero out there that can sing? Now technically it's the actress who plays Supergirl, not the real one of course. You mean you didn't know that Supergirl was a real person? Well she is, in the superhero universe of course. Melissa Benoist, star of  the CW's Supergirl, will make her Broadway debut as Carole King in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.

Now for those of you that think this sounds like a case of "Stunt Casting" in order to boost sales, you would probably be right. However this one has a catch. She can actually sing, In fact, she got her start on Glee as transfer student Mandy Rose, in addition to singing in a special episode of The Flash last year.

Trust me theatre fans. She has the chops to pull it off. Ms. Benoist is scheduled to begin performances on June 7, and will play thru August 4. Get your tickets to see Melissa Benoist as Carole King in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. Until next time theatre fans.

Coming to Broadway: The Cher Show

Following a brief run at the Oriental Theatre in Chicago, the Cher biopic musical The Cher Show is set to debut on Broadway in December.

Starring Stephanie J. Block as the timeless superstar herself, The Cher Show is bound to be the most glamorous show of the season.

Her official name is Cherilyn Sarkisian La Piere Bono Allman, but the world knows her simply as Cher. She first gained popularity as the second half of the husband-wife duo Sonny and Cher after their single "I Got You Babe" reached number one on the American and UK charts. Cher has had a huge career, including 25 studio albums, a Grammy Award, Emmy Award, Academy Award and three Golden Globes.

The Cher Show will tell the story of Cher, her personal life, her professional life, and everything in between her six decade long career.

Other casting for The Cher Show includes Teal Wicks and Micaela Diamond playing the star in different periods of her life, Jarrod Spector as Sonny Bono, and Emily Skinner as Georgia Holt.

The show will include 35 songs. It has a book by Rick Elice; music supervision, orchestrations and arrangements by Daryl Waters; choreography by Christopher Gattelli; and it is directed by Jason Moore.

The Cher Show opens for previews at the Neil Simon Theatre on November 1st, and has an official opening December 3rd. This is certainly not one to miss, and it's just in time for the holiday season.

Something big is coming to Broadway - King Kong!

On November 8th, just in time for the holiday season, King Kong will open at the Broadway Theatre.

Following a successful run in Australia, King Kong features a score composed by Marius de Vries, songs by Eddie Perfect, direction and choreography by Drew McOnie, and a book by Jack Thorne (who also wrote Harry Potter and the Cursed Child).


This show is a long time coming: it was first announced in 2010. It was supposed to come to Broadway in 2013, then was delayed to 2014. Finally the show is to make it's debut, and it's going to be a big one.

Though the cast is not a large one, the main star of the show is huge. King Kong will be a huge animation puppet, standing 20 feet tall and over 2,000 pounds. It will be controlled by a team of artists and technicians. Principle casting is Christiani Pitts as Ann Darrow and Eric William Morris will play Carl Denham.

Previews for King Kong start on October 5th, and the official opening date is November 8th.

Spongebob Squarepants: The Underdog of the Season

Typically when one thinks of a Broadway show it's something grander than can be imagined. That's exactly what an audience member gets when they see Spongebob Squarepants the Musical. 

Possibly one of the biggest underdogs of the 2017-2018 season, Spongebob Squarepants is one of the most creative shows I've seen this year. I'm going to be honest with you - we weren't sure exactly how well received this show would be. After seeing the show now multiple times, I can guarantee this is not only a show for children, adults can have just as much fun.

Based off of the animated show of the same name, Spongebob Squarepants the Musical is a less cartoonized version of the Nickelodeon favorite. The production team has somehow created Bikini Bottom inside of the Palace Theatre and it's definitely a site to behold.

Spongebob Squrepants the Musical follows the story of Spongebob, his two pals Sandy and Patrick, and the rest of the Bikini Bottom population. An ordinary day turns into an ominous one as the town is threatened by the impending eruption of a nearby volcano. Spongebob and his friends set out to save their town and their friends.

Ethan Slater is the hard-working actor who's performance should be notable. Referring back to my Tony nominee prediction blog, I believe Slater will get a nomination for Best Performance by a Leading Actor In A Musical. Though I wish he would win, I believe a more season actor might beat him out. From the moment the show starts, Slater's high-energy performance as this "Simple Sponge" doesn't quit, and leaves nothing to be desired.

The set and costume designer David Zinn is the one who is responsible for making the Palace feel as though you've taken an underwater detour to Bikini Bottom. It's sensory overload- in the best possible way. Imagination was not forsaken in this production.

There are so many other aspects of the show that make it great. A live folly artist creating all the unique sounds in the show; the superb tap dance number by Squidward (Gavin Lee); the voice of Jai'Len Christine Li Josey while she plays Pearl, all just to name a few.

Fans of the popular TV show and newbies alike will have a hard time sitting still during this show. It's smart, it's creative, and it's just downright fun as well. Be sure to see this wonderful show soon, it's bound to be your "Best Day Ever!"
