Broadway in Bryant Park

I spent the afternoon in Bryant Park today, taking in Lite FM’s Broadway in Bryant Park.
We saw performances from Little Mermaid and the upcoming Pure Country among others.
And the best part of the day, besides the Broadway part, and sitting on a blanket on the grass on a beautiful summer day, was the audience.
It was FULL FULL FULL of little kids!!! And though I know most were there for the first show, it was great to watch them hitting chairs with the handles of fans, keeping time with the music. I saw babies bounce up and down. I saw little ones shimmy and shake… to songs they’d never heard before.
And I was happy… happy to know that they’re getting this kind of exposure at such a young age.
The next generation of theatre goers is already here.
