Second City in Winter is First Rate
I need to get something off my chest. I had a brief affair over the holidays. It wasn’t the first time. My initial urge to stray came after a ten and a half year relationship with New York City. I’d been in love from February 2000 until mid-year 2010. I started to feel the strain near the end of 2010 and became disengaged. I actually searched for things about my lover that annoyed me—only to feel justified by next headstrong decision, which was to pack up and move to San Francisco. Within two months, I knew I had made a grave error. I missed the comforts and conveniences of my 10-year partner. I even missed the irritating factors. My new flame was a complete mismatch. it occurred to me that my old, seemingly stale relationship with Manhattan could be summarized by Carly Simon lyrics: Just because you don’t see shooting stars/doesn’t mean it isn’t perfect. With humility, I left San Francisco after 11 months and returned to my old metropolis in June 2012. Contentment followed.
Get Your Nails New Year’s Eve Ready
The holidays have wrapped up and the new year is rolling in, but what’s going on with your manicure? With just a week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, it is easy to let the candy cane mani last a bit too long or your current color chip off rather than start new. But you don’t need to find the time to go back to the nail salon to step up your nail art game for the new year. All you need is a quick swipe of a new color, or even a quick tweak to your existing color before you head out for the night.
Manhattan Digest’s Best of 2015 Theatre
Please excuse me for a moment while I air two gripes. I’ll be back after these messages with my round-up of 2015 theatre.
Can we all stop talking about Hamilton as though it were the only show on the boards right now? I confess that I have not seen it, although I have enjoyed listening to the original cast recording. I’m guessing that it is worthy of the accolades. I suspect that the performances are award worthy. I believe (from what I’ve been told) that the staging is innovative. I’m estimating that words like, “game-changer” and “revolutionary” are appropriate. Yet this I know for sure: 42 other shows opened on Broadway in 2015 and long running shows continue to play to packed and nearly sold-out audiences eight times a week. The coverage that Hamilton received (and continues to receive) is similar to the reporting tactics of our mainstream media outlets: A major news story breaks and each and every headline for weeks following is about that singular occurrence. Meanwhile, other global events occur and are subjected to a two sentence blurb in the news ticker-or even worse-are passed by with total disregard. So, let’s stop acting like Lin Manuel Miranda, talented though he is, is the new messiah of musical theatre. Hundreds of other performers earned their paychecks by turning out fine performances and other stories were were worthy of presentation. There is room at the table for nearly everyone, and there’s more than one entree (Hamilton) on the buffet.
Theater Reviews: NYC Christmas Shows
There is good reason why the stage versions of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and George Balanchine’s Nutcracker have endured: They are reliable classics that warm the heart and instill a feeling that, as the song goes, “our troubles will be miles away”.

Below, you’ll find a variety of options throughout the city which will aid in making your theatrical yuletide merry:

Pledging “ALLEGIANCE”: An Interview with Broadway’s Michael K. Lee & Telly Leung
Michael K. Lee is a big deal in Korea. The refreshingly modest recording artist is also a Broadway star. It’s a much different path for Lee, who began his college education pursuing medicine at Stanford University. After following his bliss, he made his stage debut in a touring production of Miss Saigon. Acting success followed and currently, he’s soaking up the spotlight as Frankie Suzuki, a revolutionary who opposes the United States internment of Japanese Americans after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in the musical, Allegiance.
