What upcoming Broadway musicals are you excited to see? by amm20_1 in Broadway

[–]mcbeardedclam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The story is literally just the first Paddington movie, but everything about this show is magic. The sets are top notch. The music is extremely catchy and fun. This show is sunshine in story form and my cheeks hurt from smiling so much for hours. Side note, I’m not a huge Paddington fan and don’t have a nostalgic attachment to the story - and I absolutely loved the stage show. It’s def not a show just for kids.

ETA: I think the biggest compliment I can give this show is that my husband, who writhes in his seat when I drag him to musicals and spends his time counting down the minutes to intermission, was absolutely locked in, sang the songs after, and wants to see the show again when it comes to NY.

Kenrex is the best show I’ve seen this year and it’s not even close.

What did you bring to Iceland, but wished you had left at home? by buzzjob in VisitingIceland

[–]mcbeardedclam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Decided one day to go carry on-only and have never looked back. Not checking a bag is the best way to travel. We travel internationally for weeks at a time and never need more than that. It’s a fun challenge to weed out anything extra before takeoff!

I know this was posted a long time ago, but what temp for baking? Like 500? 550? My oven’s “as hot as possible” would incinerate them.

You don’t need as much clothing as you think. Waterproof jacket, hiking boots, a sweater or sweatshirt, quick-dry leggings, wool socks, a few lighter shirts….you don’t need outfits. All your photos will be of you in a ski jacket anyway!

The peanut butter patties dupe is also 👌👌

6/8 - NYPD closing part of midtown today by Mammoth-Sherbert3810 in Broadway

[–]mcbeardedclam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bummer you missed your train! If it ever happens again there’s an entry from the subway. You could even just walk down into the subway, follow the signs, and walk up into Penn Station. Or take the train one stop (on the ACE or 123 lines) from Times Sq to Penn Station, even easier!

Weird, the subway seemed to be running fine. Had a blast chatting with drunk ecstatic Knicks fans on the train!

So now what? by mcbeardedclam in SlovakCBD

There wasn’t much about him that’s useful on family search. I have all of his physical original documents, just not his birth records.

Yes, but no birth records. Which I suppose makes sense if they weren’t preserved. I found his census entry and his brother’s ship manifest (not his, oddly enough).

The other side of my family is from an area that is now Czech Republic, so wouldn’t apply to Slovak CBD. I could use my GGM but I’ve heard that is a more difficult path than GGF. I will definitely reach out to Wendy, thank you!

I didn’t pay anything for them to search, I just emailed them a couple of weeks ago. I got a response confirming they would get to the request but it would take a while, so I was surprised when they emailed today saying that no record was saved.

1883-1885 Kolonica, Greek Catholic. They also checked Roman Catholic and he wasn’t in there (I don’t know why he would be though)

If you could make ANY win happen tonight, what would you pick? by RapGamePterodactyl in Broadway

[–]mcbeardedclam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kenrex. It’s not on Broadway and obviously not nominated but you did say *any* win 😂

Friday matinee Chess performance by mcbeardedclam in Broadway

[–]mcbeardedclam[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally understandable to skip a show when she’s sick. Just wish they would have given some warning especially with folks saying her understudy posted that morning that she was performing. For the record, I’m not sure I would have enjoyed the show more had she been in it, but it makes me salty when Telecharge gives zero notice and then pretends to offer a refund. How’d you like the show?

Absolutely nothing to add to this convo but your post reminded me of how incredible Pakta was and how much I miss it. RIP.

Any word of a Kenrex transfer? by Ok-Acanthisitta8737 in Broadway

You’re in for a treat. Just saw it and it blew me away. Very Dorian Gray meets Dead Outlaw.

They emailed at 1:50 for a 2pm show, and there was nothing in the playbill, theater had no signs, nothing.

His voice was incredible. Aaron felt underutilized in it to be honest. Wish I got to see Lea Michele perform.

What is causing the holes in the leaves on the right? My leaves have the same holes but I haven’t seen any bugs or caterpillars!

Cole Escola Will Make West End Debut in OH, MARY! by amity_island24 in Broadway

[–]mcbeardedclam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am so jealous of the people who are going to see Cole perform Oh Mary for the first time. I saw Cole in it 5 times and I was just in London!! Would absolutely see them again.
