A night on Broadway … - @hughjackman gives his ALL. What a show, what an ensemble, @suttonlenore is hilarious … the audience hummed and sang along and jumped to their feet at the end (not always deserved when they do but this show YES) - I just wonder if one doesn’t dress for the theatre (and so many men in shorts and flip flops! 🤮 when do they dress up? Their funeral? Cuz someone else dressed them. Come on peeps show some respect for those hard working actors and give them something pretty to look at. - #theWinterGarden #broadway #nyc #TheMusicMan #cheers #dresslikeanadult #76Trombones #i❤️ny (at The Music Man on Broadway at the Winter Garden Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cihsmy1LVlg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
