new york city postponed

It turns out that Idina Menzel's last performance of Wicked will be January 9th, a week before we were planning to go. Aside from that, MLK weekend is sold out, so our choices would be to see it at a later date, sans Idina, or see it on tour (which so far is only scheduled for Toronto and Chicago, though it will undoubtedly come to Cleveland as well). However, part of the point of this trip was to visit NYC*, as well as see Avenue Q, which is only playing on Broadway with the original cast.

On the plus side, we won't necessarily be tied down to one weekend, we'll have more time to plan, and hopefully more of our friends can go. And as much as I would've loved to see Idina, it's still Broadway, Wicked will still be good; squinting from the last row of the Palace in Cleveland isn't quite the same. :)

*The only time I've been to NYC was when I was six, during the centennial celebration of the Statue of Liberty. So I'd kinda like to see the city, as I don't remember much.
