Hallelujah Broadway!




It was a Monday night in chilly Prague. February was in full force. What are 4 unemployed TEFL Prague Worldwide graduates to do?

Go to Hallelujah Broadway of course!


The 'random fun' gods were looking kindly on us as Jessica, Nikki, Carly and I followed a random expats.cz ad to a church in Prague 1 out of pure curiosity.

The ad read,
"Do you like Broadway Musicals?" (YES) "Can you sing along to musicals like Hair, Jekyll and Hyde, RENT and many more?" (YES, YES, YES!!) "Come on down and be part of a live studio audience for a taping of a new PBS special, Hallelujah Broadway! (HELL YES)

We didn't have tickets but that didn't stop us and thanks to our new Irish friend/PBS ticket manager Anna we were part of a very lucky audience of 200 Prague-ers who saw an amazing
show live that will air around the world on PBS this year!

Program it on your DVR's folks, you will see a very excited, lip syncing Yesh in the audience. (Oh yea, I was one of the clap-along-ers). We weren't allowed to take pictures of the full orchestra, full chorus and main stage singers but here are a few shots of the church after the cameras stopped rolling. Enjoy!

Paris - check!








Paris in 36 hours! Jason and I met in one of the world's most romantic cities at the end of January for what I dare say was one of our greatest adventures yet.

Staying in the Latin Quarter, we were walking distance from everything... and man did we ever walk. (Thank goodness because we pretty much ate our weight in French food).


Notre Dame
Eiffel Tower
Versailles
Mont Marte
(We were loads of places but just got really lost... a few times)


The only disappointing thing... THE ONLY... was that the bars close at midnight. It would have been fun to go out in Paris. I guess we got a good night sleep instead.

40 things you need to know about my apt. in Prague






We have 40 mugs. Not 39, not 41, we have 40 mugs that came with our apartment. Enjoy the view. (Can you tell I'm unemployed and have a lot of time on my hands?)
