School of Rock

Julia is a huge musical theater fan, so this year's birthday present for her was a family trip to see School of Rock at the Winter Garden Theater on Broadway.
View from our seats - nice theater

We were able to get pretty good tickets in the balcony for the Sunday matinee. Before the show, we had lunch at Guy Fieri's American Grill, where we had also had lunch a couple of years before, soon after it had opened [note that by the next time we went to Broadway in January 2018, it had closed its doors...]

The show itself was far better than I expected it to be, and if the PR materials are to be believed, featured a bunch of kids playing the instruments live.

Having liked the musical, I think I will make it a point of going back and watching the movie on which it was based.

As far as family traditions go, doing a Broadway show once or twice a year for Julia is turning out to be a really nice thing...
