The Museum of Natural History and Breakfast at Tiffany's

I have been waiting for years to go to the Museum of Natural History. Dreaming about the fossil halls. On Saturday, before seeing Breakfast at Tiffany's on Broadway, I finally had a chance to go. I took a thousand terrible pictures, so that's basically what this post is going to be. But first, I would like to say something about Breakfast at Tiffany's.

The play was NOT as awful as the reviews made it out to be.

It is based on the novella, not the movie. So as unlikable as Holly Golightly is if you've seen the movie (even Audrey Hepburn, one of my favorite actresses, was barely able to save that character), she's even more awful in the play. And it's not Emilia Clarke's fault. She did what she could with that character. My only complaint is that her accent was SO put on and difficult to understand...And the tone of voice she used was very shrill. But again, the character calls for that so I can't even hold it against her.

Breakfast at Tiffany's is very character driven. There is no action in the plot and I think that is why a lot of people who reviewed it said it was not good material for a stage adaptation. However, I think character driven stories are perfect material for plays and I did not find it boring at all. In fact, Cory Michael Smith was very entertaining and he delivered his lines beautifully. He has great comedic timing and I look forward to seeing more from him in the future.

Unfortunately, as I already assumed last month, a closing date has been set for Breakfast at Tiffany's. The last show is April 21st. I'm grateful that I was able to see it before then.

Onto the pictures.

I couldn't find a stuffed raptor at the museum gift shops, so I just bought foreign food instead in a fit of rage and self-pity.

I will be seeing this on May 25th. Really excited.
