14 months ago, I learned Idina Menzel was starring in a brand new original Broadway production called If/Then, set to open spring 2014.

10 months ago, I learned Kristin Chenoweth would be doing a concert at Carnegie Hall on May 3 – the same time If/Then was running.

10 months ago minus one day, my friend Kerri said “I’m in!”

10 months ago minus one week, my cousin and another friend Carey said “we’re in too!”

9 months ago I learned that Anthony Rapp would also be starring in If/Then. For those that aren’t major theatre nerds like me, Rapp and Menzel were in the original Broadway production of Rent and the 2006 movie adaptation.

8 months ago, we bought tickets to see Kristin.

6 months ago, we bought tickets to If/Then.

4 months ago, we got our plane tickets.

Tomorrow, we leave for an epic NYC adventure.

I cannot wait.
