Here's 2021 lookback, Part 2: June to Dec. 2021
We'd loved New York in June! There had been so much hope for Broadway re-open, but that was 7 months ago, we doubt that anyone would know!

(I never had done an actual release for some of these, because news changed so fast that subject matter could change in a few days - but this blog had started this in April 2020, and I kept up the musical parody-song timeline of where we were going at various times)
JUNE 2021
Did NY re-open too freely and too fast?
This was a June happening, but based on Times article that appeared July 8 2021 -NY "felt" safer, restarted PDAs

SEPTEMBER 2021
Monday Sept. 20 2021 - A strange transition back for red carpets - some great outfits, fun of Seth Rogen's orange look on a comedian, but not sure what to make of his comments on the lack of distancing at the event - was that true, was he being serious, half-true but trying for humor - also how the acting votes went in a year when the nominations were inclusive - but the acting awards seemed to group by favorite shows!!!! More controversy than expected.

Parody lyric by Fred Landau
Celebrating Natalie Mendoza's performance at the Macy's Parade. Her Satine in "Moulin Rouge" is a decade after her accident in "Spider Man."
Never imagined "Moulin Rouge" looking as wholesome as it did outside Macy's. (Maybe there could be a Jr. Moulin Rouge version someday!)
CHATTING IS A SHOW’S BEST FRIEND -
looking back for Satine’s take on “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend”

DECEMBER 2021
Suddenly, the day after Thanksgiving, the year end was devastating for travel and NY tourism live theater, with the Omicron variant.
So a downer year end, but hope for 2022 to be better!
