Spring break is going way too fast. While it feels like it’s been forever since I’ve been in Manhattan, and the musicals we performed right before spring break feel like they happened ages ago, this trip to California has felt super quick.
Wednesday I was lucky enough to win front row, center tickets, to the Los Angeles premier of American Idiot at the Ahmanson. Being that close to the action is unreal, I’ve sat in front row seats a bunch of times during the Broadway run, but not yet for the tour production of Idiot.
Before the show I was in celeb sighting mode trying to spot some famous people attending the premiere. Granted, I am terrible at knowing who movie stars are and Broadway people are my version of celebs. I did however recognize Tom Hanks, Bob Saget and Marci Gay Harden (whom I not only took a trapeze class with one time, but also saw her perform in God of Carnage at the Ahmanson when I was in LA last May).
the performance was truly amazing. It is now my 4th time seeing the touring cast. I can finally sit back and enjoy the beauty of the show instead of being distracted by all the changes that have been made since Broadway. This cast is absolutely fierce and reminds me why theater and why this show became such a huge part of my life after I saw it 2 years ago. And first row is really something else
Thursday it was time to get my sweat on at Equinox- Westwood! Previously this month I enjoyed a fabulous free week of classy sweating at Equinox, Greenwich Ave in Manhattan. I fell in love with their innovative and unique group fitness classes.
I attended a ViPR class taught by the charismatic Jeffrey Scott.
The online description reads:
Vitality, Performance & Reconditioning for more energy, enhanced movement skills, & incredible strength. ViPR delivers a progressive & fun variety of real-life movement & whole body integration for maximum metabolic rate & increased caloric expenditure, resistance, endurance & strength.
The classes utilizes an odd, cylinder piece of equipment, the ViPR, and you use it to perform common exercises
