Wednesday,
July 16th: Musical Theater Heritage
will arrange our early morning, Midwest Airlines non-stop flight
to LaGuardia Airport in New York City. When we arrive we will
be provided with our very own private transportation to the historic,
and extremely charming Algonquin Hotel on West 44th Street in
mid-town Manhattan. Here, we’ll be steeped in the history
of the American theater, New York City and the writers of the
Algonquin Round Table. The hotel is within walking distance to
Times Square, Central Park, Rockefeller Center, Grand Central
Station, Empire State Building and Fifth Avenue shopping.
After check-in, the
afternoon is free to explore Times Square, have lunch at the Oyster
Bar at Grand Central Station, or just relax in the inviting Algonquin
lobby and feel the great vibrations of New York’s past. Tonight
we will meet in the lobby and walk together to Rockefeller Center
for dinner with wine at the RAINBOW ROOM. You won’t believe
the view of the New York skyline from our table on the 65th floor!
Thursday, July
17th: This
morning we will board a private coach with MTH’s Chad Gerlt
and radio host George Harter as our guides for a New York City
sights & history tour. Highlights include: Central Park, Lincoln
Center, Greenwich Village, The Bowery, Brooklyn Bridge, Broadway
& 42nd Street, Wall Street, Battery Park and much more. We
will make several stops during our trip for a closer look at key
points in Manhattan, including the site of the World Trade Center.
The tour will conclude
with lunch in a private room at SARDI’S, the famous theatre
fixture on Rodgers and Hammerstein Row. Choose between a delicious
New York steak or fresh Atlantic seafood. We’ll have a pianist
and two special Broadway guests stop by for a visit to regale
us with some Broadway stories and sing a few songs. The remainder
of the afternoon is free.
Tonight we have prime
seats for a performance of JERSEY BOYS, winner of 5 Tony Awards.
This popular show is the story of the legendary Four Seasons,
and is one of the hottest and most difficult tickets to come by
in NY. After the show you are free to explore the nightlife of
Times Square or return to the hotel. There’s nothing in New
York like the Algonquin lobby for getting together after theatre
and doing some celebrity-watching.
Friday, July
18th: The
entire day is free for you enjoy New York as you please. OPTIONAL:
Chad Gerlt and Liz Enea will be leading a Greenwich Village walking
tour. Highlights will include Washington Square Park, the campus
of NYU and a walk through the area once frequented by Bob Dylan,
Joan Baez, Peter, Paul & Mary and the folk movement of the
1960’s. We’ll stop along the way for a bite to eat,
perhaps in Washington Square where we can enjoy the park and the
bohemian atmosphere. Subway fare and lunch are at your own expense.
Tonight you’re
on your own. Perhaps you’d like to enjoy a cabaret show at
the Algonquin’s world-famous Oak Room, or experience the
jazz scene at Birdland. How about a Broadway show? Chad will be
happy to help you make plans or arrange tickets for you.
Saturday, July
19th: This
afternoon we have prime seats to a matinee per-formance of YOUNG
FRANKENSTEIN, the hilarious new Mel Brooks musical, starring Tony
Award Winners Roger Bart, Sutton Foster, and Andrea Martin. Also
starring Megan Mullally who played the very funny, Karen Walker
on Will & Grace. Already an audience favorite, this production
will surely make a great showing at the Tonys this year!
Tonight we will
celebrate our time together with dinner & cocktails aboard
the WORLD YACHT. With a two-level dining room, spacious outdoor
sundeck, music, dancing, and dazzling views of the most famous
skyline in the world, the evening will be a night to remember.
Private transportation will take us back to the Algonquin.
Sunday, July
20th: Spend
a quiet, leisurly Sunday morning in NY; or perhaps you could attend
mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. We’ll check out of
the hotel by noon and make a couple of stops on our way to the
airport. First we’ll stop by Zabar’s, the famous NY
deli landmark at 80th & Broadway. Blend with native New Yorkers
and experience the banter of the sales help as you take your number
for a pound of pastrami and a bag of bagels.
Then we’ll
stop by the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. It is the largest
cathedral in the world, and is greater than two football fields
in length (601 feet). Afterwards we’ll be off to LaGuardia
in plenty of time for our 5:05 PM Midwest Airlines non-stop flight
home to Kansas City.
