Hey!<\/p>\n

I’ve always loved going to the theatre to see plays and musicals, but never had much opportunity to where I grew up in Scotland. So since\u00a0moving to New York I have been taking advantage of all the amazing theatre the city has to offer, both on and off Broadway.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Show tickets can get very pricey very quickly, but I found out almost every show has a lottery or what are known as ‘rush tickets’<\/strong>, which means when the box office opens the first 20 people or so in line get highly discounted tickets<\/strong>. This has made it easier to see lots of shows! Many of them have been really great, but my absolute highlight was seeing Come From Away<\/a>– and here’s why!<\/p>\n

\"Broadway\"<\/p>\n

Life around New York is so busy and fast paced, there is always so much going on and so many people in a rush. Come From Away<\/strong> is set in a small town community in Newfoundland, Canada and tells the true story of 9\/11 when 38 large planes were re-directed to land here and the town over doubled in size for over a week.<\/strong> It is a wonderful warm story about a community coming together and the whole feel of it reminded me of the small town communities in Scotland, and home.<\/p>\n

I took the cover picture earlier this year on a trip to the beautiful Island of Rum<\/a>, which is off the west coast of Scotland. The island only has a population of around 20 people but such an amazing sense of community<\/strong>, so welcoming and so much fun. It makes me excited to travel more, but also to see more shows in New York!!<\/p>\n
