Singing & Dancing Makes Life More Fun 9.29.10

I always wonder what life would be like if it were a musical. What if you had background music to your everyday goings on or your inner monologue came out in song form and time stopped while you belted out your secret thoughts and did a nicely choreographed dance to them? Well, for one, we’d all be in awesome shape from all the exercise. Unfortunately, life isn’t like High School Musical and when you’re down, your best friends aren’t going to bust a move and sing you a motivational ditty to get you out of your slump.  So, life may be mundane as we walk through it talking to people, but vacation can always make it more exciting. With today being Broadway Musicals Day, I found it appropriate to take a look at some of the most popular musicals and their settings and what kind of deals can be had there. Enjoy!

All stage actors aspire to make it into a Broadway or West End production. Many of them end up waiting tables and living in shoebox-size apartments in order to pay the RentRent and A Chorus Line are full of actors trying to make it. You don’t have to follow in their footsteps, except by making your way to New York City.  Tour the Big Apple and see the sights like the Empire State’s Building, the Statue of Liberty, Madison Square Garden and Times Square and then stay in a nice hotel that is significantly bigger than a shoebox.
  • Book by October 13 for free nights from Expedia. If you plan to travel to NYC before December 15th of this year, then this is a deal you should jump on. Stay for as low as $87 per night and get your last night free when you stay the specified number of nights listed for each hotel.

  • The Fiddler on the Roof probably didn't have money to go on a luxurious cruise like this, but if you want to experience some wonderful countries, including Russia, Crystal Cruises has wonderful selections, including the 11-day Jewels of the Baltic cruise that includes 2-for-1 pricing (from $14,010 per couple), free airfare and $1,000 cruise credit on the Crystal Serenity.
