New York & Broadway Theater Trip
With GEORGE HARTER

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6
George will book your flights to New York LaGuardia and meet your arriving flight. Private transportation will be provided to the historic ALGONQUIN HOTEL on 44th Street in Manhattan in the heart of the Broadway Theater District. Home of the famous literary round table of the 1920’s and Hamlet, the house cat.

NOTE: If you wish to book your own airfare and meet the group at the hotel -OR- if your flight times cannot be coordinated with George’s group transportation, there will be a $70 discount per person.

Let’s begin our four days in New York with a cocktail reception and three-course dinner at The HARVARD CLUB just a few doors down from The Algonquin. This Ivy League school club houses Harvard Hall, one of the most impressive spaces in New York where JFK, FDR and Alan J. Lerner were once members.

After dinner there may be time to catch a show of your choice, visit Top-
of-the Rock or explore Times Square a few blocks away.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7
This morning George will lead you on a one-hour walking tour of the Broadway Theater District with history & stories about the theaters and the the great Broadway composers.

After the walking tour and a restroom break, George will take you to a Broadway rehearsal hall where we will meet a cast member from one of the shows we’ll be seeing. Find out – first hand – what its like working on Broadway.

The show tonight is SOME LIKE IT HOT at the Shubert Theater. This brand new musical based on the Billy Wilder comedy from 1959,  has a score by Marc Shaman & Scott Wittman (Hairspray)

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6
Today is left free for you to enjoy the great city of New York in your own way. Options available today include a short walking tour through CENTRAL PARK led by George, visiting Strawberry Fields, Bethesda Fountain, The Minton Tiles, Grand Mall & the Boathouse. NO ADDITIONAL COST FOR THIS OPTION

Also available is a water tour of the New York skyline aboard a 1920’s vintage yacht. You will travel along the Hudson River, out into the harbor around the Statue of Liberty (up close) and up the East River under the Brooklyn Bridge.

Tonight’s theater outing is the London transfer of the Olivia Award winning new musical BACK TO THE FUTURE.
