Adding to my list of indoor activities this summer is seeing Mary Poppins at the The Kennedy Center. Yeah, it might sound a bit childish, but what's wrong with that? If you like musicals, or if you used to watch Mary Poppins as a kid, it is worth seeing. It's a feel good, uplifting show with great music. This was my first time at The Kennedy Center and I was a bit worried about the $25 nosebleed seats we had. However, even at the very back row of the highest tier, I had a great view of the stage. As a matter of fact, we had seats in space typically reserved for wheelchair access I think. So we had lots of space all around us (no one to step over to get to seats) and immediate access to the exit behind me, which allowed me to beeline to the head during intermission. (You know how long those lines to the lady's room can get.) Paying full price is just stupid unless you're rich or trying to impress a date. If you want orchestra seats you're better off going to NYC for the weekend and getting half-price tickets at TKTS. From now on, I'm always going to be looking for that back row seating.
