This is one of those so not wordless ones…
Here’s Keegan…
We’re in NYC…
In Times Square…
At the New Amsterdam Theater…
At Keegan’s very first Broadway show…
Mary Poppins!
See this is kind of a big deal.
At least for me.
One of the reasons I’ve been so thrilled about moving back east is our close proximity to NYC…
and Broadway.
Why?
Well other than the obvious that I love me some show tunes.
But because this is sort of where I come from.
Well yes, NYC, but Broadway itself.
See my parents worked here.
Waaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day.
Yup, Ma and Dad were theater folk.
60′s and 70′s theater folk.
Hippy Theater Folk.
I think it may be cooler now than it was then…
Anyway, bringing Keegan here for his first taste of it was super special for me. Sort of like showing him a bit of his family history.
First I took him to the Stage Deli. I remember my dad taking me here once when my brother and I were kids.
We shared our chicken soup, corned beef sandwich and one hell of a knish.
Then, after hitting the biggest Toys-R-Us I have ever seen we walked back down about 10 blocks to catch the show.
Keegan was enthralled. His eyes were big as saucers. He loved clapping after the numbers finished and by the second act he was pretending to be a conductor. He got such a kick out of Mary Poppins and her umbrella. It really blew him away. I cried. Someone please tell me if these pregnancy hormones ever go away? Maybe we should just rename them mommy hormones.
After the show Keegan and I jumped into one of those rickshaw pedi-cabs, as it started raining, and went down to restaurant row, which has come a real long way since the last time I was here! Dad told me to take Keegan to that Broadway institution of Joe Allen. We met my best friend, Stacey, and Keegan had a real grown up dinner with us.
All in all it was a great way to introduce Keegan to the theater and a piece of his family’s past. It was also a great way to remind me how much I missed it. So big thanks to Grandma Susan and Grandpa Jeff for sending us some tickets for this great show. We really had a blast.
What’s your favorite Broadway musical?

What a busy week we’ve had!
On Monday, Keegan started Kindergarten.
On Tuesday we rounded up Team Fitz and went on down to New York City to shoot a segment for New York Nonstops new show
Moms and the City and a Dad Named David
Man oh man are we tired but what a blast we had!
First Denise Albert, she’s one of the Moms from Moms and the City, and I got our food prep taken care of…
Then I did an interview with Denise and David Ushery
Next we got down to some good ol’ fashioned cooking.
I grabbed my little helpers
And we got cooking!
First up…Hungry Caterpillars instead of the pb&j version we switched things up with avocado and hummus spreads topped with cukes and tomato.
Next recipe? Muffin Man Pizzas
And finally…Twirly Whirly Pasta Salad
Denise’s son, he’s in the middle up there between Brady and Keegan, he’s not exactly an adventurous eater.
Well that boy couldn’t get enough of our muffin man pizzas!
He helped me make them and he gobbled them up (one with bell peppers and mushrooms on it much to his mother’s shock) and asked if we could do this every night!
Now if that’s not a satisfied customer I’m not sure what is!
The show will air here in the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut area sometime in September, but keep a look out for it on your local NBC station. I’ll let you know a definitive date when I get it.
I’ll be posting some segments from our finished pilot presentation soon. Keep your eyes peeled guys, Ma What’s For Dinner is hitting the airwaves!
