Last night we (Ice, Altie and myself) met up outside Barnes and Nobles in Union Square in Manhattan (the one on E17th and Broadway), had a nice dinner at a noisy restaurant/bar in Union Square, which I'm still unsure if it was the famous Union Square Cafe or not, then headed to the Union Square Theater to watch a show. The show was Slava's Snowshow.

Words really can't even come close to doing justice as to just how amazingly good this show was - it was absolutely stunning. I think it's probably ruined me for all future Broadway shows - I seriously doubt anything will be able top this one. The visuals are simply stunning (hell, it snows inside the theater) and there is a substantial amount of audience involvement. It is a moving show that pulls you right into it (whether you want to or not, hehe) and brings you back to a childhood where all your troubles are left at the door. You'll come out smiling, of that there is no doubt. If you have a chance, GO SEE IT, you'll be glad you did.

We met Slava Polounine for a short while at the end of the show, and he even got a kiss from Ice. He seems to genuinely enjoy what he does, and heck, who wouldn't enjoy a 'job' where you get to transform serious-looking be-suited wall street types into grinning idiots having snowball fights at the end of the show. Yup, it's that kind of show, you just can't help yourself. I want to go again. Thanks Slava, and thanks Ice and Alt for taking me.
