I just read this article about a Broadway museum in NYC that just opened.
Sounds really interesting.

My parents left NYC when I was in my mid 20's, and my dad, who was born and raised there, never wanted to go back. Nothing there for him. I was there, but he was a harsh conservative who'd found his haven here in Western NC. My mom, a liberal Democrat originally from Canada, moved to NYC and enjoyed live theatre and dance, taking me to many shows over the years. After they left, my mother would visit me every year and we'd go to a show, and traipse around old and new stomping grounds. I have wonderful memories of her visits. I'd also see them in NC several times a year, and Mom would often get tickets for the state theatre here, which is nearby. I think of her every time I see a show.
Growing up we also went to interesting museums when we traveled, including colonial Williamsburg. Nice you can get a train to NYC from there. I'd love to see it again, and have thought about stopping for a day on my way up north the next time I manage to drive there, which could be years!
Enjoy your day.
