New York City Theatre Alumni Trip Thursday, January 23, 2020: Charlotte, NC - New York City, NY This morning, our fight departs the Charlotte- Douglas International Airport for New York City. Upon arrival to The Empire City, we are greeted by our Local Guide who will escort us to our motor coach for transfer into the city. We make our way to Hudson Yards, considered the cultural center of Manhattan’s New West Side. It’s a template for the future of cities, this new neighborhood has not only changed the way New York looks to the world, but the way the world sees New York. We’ll enjoy lunch at Hudson Yards Grill, followed by a panoramic orientation tour of the city en route to the Warwick New York Hotel. Here, we check-in to our rooms and enjoy the rest of the afternoon on our own. This evening, we join fellow Queens alumni and friends for a delightful evening reception honoring Queens’ 21st President, Daniel Lugo. Friday, January 24, 2020: New York City This morning we’ll participate in a theatre district tour and workshop. The private Making Music workshop will take place in the rehearsal room with an actor from Tootsie who will discuss life on Broadway and may even teach the group a number from the show! The remainder of the afternoon is free for self-arranged dining and activities throughout the city. Later this evening, we attend Moulin Rouge with transportation provided to and from our hotel. Saturday, January 25, 2020: New York City We have the day at leisure to take in the sights of New York City. We’ll convene this evening to attend the Tony-Award-winning musical Tootsie with transportation provided to and from our hotel. Sunday, January 26, 2020: New York City - Charlotte, NC We check-out of our hotel before noon and embark on Harlem Gospel Tour which includes a behind-the- scenes tour of the famed Apollo Theater. We will also attend a gospel service followed by a soulful gospel bunch at the famous Sylvia’s Restaurant. Following brunch and our tour, we will transfer to the airport via private motor coach for our direct return fight home. Broadway Show Info Moulin Rouge Inspired by Baz Luhrmann's 2001 smash flm musical of the same name, Moulin Rouge, has been adapted for the stage and just recently opened on Broadway. The show is the hottest ticket in town and already is drawing packed and cheering audiences. The evening is flled with varied dance numbers - from raucous can-cans, steamy tangoes, and beyond - to make your heart pound; rich and brilliant lights, sets and costumes to dazzle the eye; soaring, snappy and swoon-worthy songs to treat the ear; and a fascinating cast of characters from every walk of life to intrigue. Tootsie Another Hollywood favorite hits the stage as Tootsie of 2019 reboots Tootsie (the movie) of 1982 with a few updates and innovations along the way. Tootsie garnered MANY nominations and awards when it opened earlier in 2019 and took home 2 Tonys. Santino Fontana stars, a multi-talented cast in the other familiar roles assist; Tony award winning Scott Ellis directs; and since the critics have been allowed to weigh in on this one, we can cite a few published endorsements: "a giddy night out" (The Guardian); "a sure-fre crowd-pleaser" (Variety); "out to give you a good time: TOOTSIE rocks, TOOTSIE rolls, TOOTSIE pops." (Time Out).
