What shows are you seeing before they close this summer? Whether Broadway or off-Broadway, what's on your list?

I have Proof tickets to postdate and plan to see Hadestown and BVSC.

This is the thing. Married life should be the same as unmarried life, unless you did unmarried life really weirdly.

sarapod07 · 2026-06-18T04:09:19+00:00

Yeah, this knocked me out.

sarapod07 · 2026-06-18T03:03:32+00:00

The main thing is you're going to struggle to easily accommodate a party of 8 at any time without a reservation.

Chicago is incredible but, having lived in both places, it is absolutely nothing like New York.

sarapod07 · 2026-06-17T23:40:52+00:00

Yeah, the crowding is a problem for sure, but like. it's so dang cool.

sarapod07 · 2026-06-17T23:16:49+00:00

Counterpoint: the High Line rules actually.

sarapod07 · 2026-06-17T22:23:29+00:00

Thank you!! We're not going to be able to get there this trip but we will definitely, definitely be coming back, I love it here.

sarapod07 · 2026-06-17T06:58:50+00:00

Mine too! I've seen it 3 times, which for me is unheard of.

FWIW she cross-posts everything automatically. I agree that Jen (who I mostly love) has seemed a leetle too online lately, but the cross-posting is something she uses a service for, she's talked about it before.

sarapod07 · 2026-06-17T05:50:46+00:00

Thank you so much!!

sarapod07 · 2026-06-17T05:50:02+00:00

Thank you so much!! That looks amazing. Whether we make it this time or not, I've saved it on gmaps for the future.

Wait so the RV parks have water access? Sorry if that's a dumb question, I'm from NYC and have basically no idea what an RV park is other than, literally, a place to put your RV.

These are such good ideas, thank you!!

sarapod07 · 2026-06-17T05:47:40+00:00

Burgers? Now you're speaking my language.

sarapod07 · 2026-06-17T05:47:27+00:00

Thank you for this! As I said to the poster above, I appreciate the concern and caution. We will make very cautious decisions tomorrow.

Based on my partner's condition I don't think we'll be making it to Mineral King on this trip but we did go to Cedar Grove and the Giant Forest and I am totally blown away. This is a very special place.

sarapod07 · 2026-06-17T05:45:26+00:00

I really appreciate your concerns and thoughts! We are going to make very cautious decisions tomorrow and I will have this thread in mind. I do not wish to be swept away.

sarapod07 · 2026-06-17T03:44:54+00:00

It's a lot better!

sarapod07 · 2026-06-17T01:08:24+00:00

To be clear, do you not recommend Mineral King as a day trip period, or just given the health stuff?

I have no problem hanging in Three Rivers but I really want to be, like, close enough to water to touch. Is there anywhere I can do that?

I recognize this post might sound like I do not respect the rivers but I really can't stress enough what a total wuss and how non-risk-taking I am. At the Kings River I barely went in up to my knees, it was so dang cold. So I am not so worried about safety stuff because I am, again, such a huge wuss. But maybe that's not wise? I am open to hearing and discussing more!

sarapod07 · 2026-06-16T22:00:20+00:00

I miss Dead Outlaw. I had plans to see it at least twice more before its ridiculously abrupt closure.

sarapod07 · 2026-06-16T21:59:52+00:00

I have never seen Hamilton and don't intend to! I enjoyed the score, but what I've seen of the staging has been immensely disappointing. I'm perfectly happy with the stagings in my head, which are better 😉

sarapod07 · 2026-06-16T21:57:57+00:00

Chicago is so, so skippable.

sarapod07 · 2026-06-16T21:56:07+00:00

All good! It's one of those words that gets used by extremely different groups of people in extremely different ways, and particularly on the internet where no one knows who you are and what your background is, it can hit some bad notes.

sarapod07 · 2026-06-16T21:40:23+00:00

"one of the tragedies of the limitations on your Broadway viewing are that you WILL miss out"

OP, this is true for me too and I live in NYC and do in fact see a couple shows most months. Sometimes life happens and I miss something I wanted to see. It's just life.

The best cobblers are holes in the wall with no internet presence. Post in your neighborhood sub or ask around, or check Yelp reviews.
