free to be bree.

I'm Bree. I'm a 26 year old Jersey girl, and I'm here to dazzle you with my cupcakes! Well, maybe not "dazzle" exactly, but I do tend to brag about my cupcake endeavors quite a bit. I'll also throw in some random "things going on in my life" posts from time to time. Enjoy!

Woo Hoo! I just got $22 tickets to Anything Goes using HipTix! Thanks to everyone who weighed in on the theater issue a few days ago.

So, for anyone who’s wondering, HipTix is a program for 18-35-year-olds. You can register for free, and you’ll have access to theater tickets in the Roundabout Theatre Company for about $20. The even better part is that there are no additional service/facility/handling fees. 

I also upgraded to Gold member status for a one time donation of $75, and that upgrades my $20 tickets to orchestra or front mezzanine seats for the next year.

So I got 2 second row, center, front mezzanine seats for Anything Goes for my niece and myself for a grand total of (drumroll, please…..) $115!!!!

I don’t see my oldest niece for Christmas until the end of January, so every year I wait until mid-January to buy her Christmas present so that, in the event it needs to be returned, she doesn’t get screwed by 30-day return/exchange policies.
This year, I’m thinking that, instead, I’ll get theater (theatre?) tickets for us. My niece is 14, very into singing, dancing, acting— theater in general. She’s been doing dancing school and theater/-re camps pretty much since I’ve known her (her father started dating my sister when she was 5). My original plan was to get How To Succeed In Business tickets so that she could see Nick Jonas and swoon all over the place, but the prices I’m finding are pretty astronomical.
Instead, it just dawned on me to get tickets for Anything Goes. Joel Grey is starring, it’s age-appropriate for my niece, it’s classic, and, best of all, I can get 2 orchestra seats for $115 total!!! 
I’ve never actually seen Anything Goes, so what I’m wondering now is, has anyone seen it? Will it be worth it? If you were a 14-year-old girl, would you like your pretty awesome, young aunt escort you into NYC for a Broadway play and lunch somewhere fun like & kitschy like Planet Hollywood?
