Concrete jungle where dreams of made of, we’re in New York! The bright lights of Broadway and Times Square were the main locations of today’s tour. We started with a buffet breakfast before a short metro trip to our Broadway set design workshop. We saw some amazing design ideas for set designs and had a short lecture and Q&A session with Broadway professionals. We stopped for lunch in a local restaurant then we walked to Ripley’s Believe or Not, where we saw the weird and the wonderful! After Ripley’s we went to see Wicked and the Gershwin Theatre. Mrs Starkie was definitely the most excited! The show had mixed reviews some students loved it others just thought it was okay. We finished the day with a themed dinner at the Starlight Express Diner where the waiters and waitresses sang and danced whilst serving us. Olivia even had a chance to sing down the mic.
We saw some good random acts of kindness today. We witnessed Khalifa help a lady who dropped her bag in Times Square. Zeyad and Layan Wadi learnt it is polite to stand up and give your seat to elderly passengers on the metro when they get on.
All students have been brilliant and a great team! Today’s student messages;
Dana says “Today was really amazing, lots of fun! We learnt new stuff e.g. Loads about set design. It is really cold and I really enjoyed the theatre watching WICKED!”
Anais says “My favourite part of today was the restaurant for dinner where they were all singing and being weird, and we watched WICKED it was better than I thought it would be!”
Saif Salem says “Today was a lot warmer than yesterday. I preferred today than yesterday. I really enjoyed the Starlight Express themed restaurant where everyone was singing and dancing”
Seif Wadi says “Today was fun and um …it was warmer than yesterday. We watched Wicked though it wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. I also really enjoyed the restaurant and the atmosphere inside it.”
Zeyad says “NYC is so cool and amazing, though it’s FREEZING! I like Times square but is really busy”
Olivia say “ Today we saw Wicked and it was WICKED!”
Layan says “Ripley’s had some wacky stuff in. I saw a two headed goat! Madness!’
