Every school year, we get caught up in our hectic schedules throughout the week. No matter how much we try to slow things down a bit, it always seems like there is something going on and there never seems to be enough time in the day to get everything done.
However, spending quality time together as a family is always number one on our list of priorities so we never stop trying to come up with creative ways to create those memories that will be cherished by all of us for a lifetime. That is why we were so excited to go see my nephew perform in Broadway Night at one of our local schools in the Bronx.
For the past few years he also attended high school in the Bronx and he participated in their drama club and performed at many of their shows! His last performance, as a Senior, was in his school’s rendition of Grease in the Spring and we were so proud to see him on stage singing and acting. It was the first time
Since he started college last Fall, he has been very busy adjusting to being a full-time student. Despite his own hectic schedule, he has not given up on his dream of becoming an actor and has made time on the weekends to pursue his passion. We attended his show as a family to support him and to let the rest of our boys to always follow their dreams. The theme of the show was “Identity” so we discussed the importance of being an individual with my sons and nephews.
Family is very important to me and these are the values that we are trying to instill in my sons and my nephews. This is especially important because our family is not that large and we have to band together whenever possible. I especially loved that this event also allowed us to show our appreciation for the Arts and it also created an opportunity for our boys to experience a cultural event with one another. Hopefully, this is something that they will continue to do together when they become adults and have their own families.
As you can all see from the wonderful photos that I took, not only did all the kids have a great time, but they were in awe of all the talented performers and the entertaining musical numbers. My nephew was thrilled to have our whole family there to cheer him on and I couldn’t have been a prouder auntie. It was a festive night of Broadway in the Bronx! These are the moments that hopefully will be remembered for years to come…

I love musicals. This sounds like a really fun time.
Musicals are always fun. I love this and it looks like such an awesome time.
Looks like it was an awesome show. Well done. What a great way to bring the community together.
I love musicals and theatre. I just moved from Toronto and I do say the shows, the lights, the vibe is electric.
Sounds like you had a great time. And one notices how proud you are of your nephew and how close your family is.
I have never been to Broadway, but maybe one day I will make it…Thanks for sharing this wonderful experience!
Family is so important. They’re not perfect but at the end of the day they are the ones who are there for you. This looks like a fab time. For us, since we live far apart, every second we can spend together doing the little things like having breakfast or enjoying a movie together is so precious!
I love the emphasis on family time in this post. We go camping every summer and always take a group craft or art class. Creativity together is a great way to make memories
I am an auntie too several times over and I would love it if I lived close enough to go see my kiddos in activities like this! It is amazing how talented some kids are.
I love, love, love musicals! I’m seeing Mean Girls on Broadway next month. Can’t wait!
I always love a great musical. One of our local high schools has one every year and I make sure to catch it even though I no one in high school. I know you all were proud of your nephew.
Musical broadway is always fun. It sounds like a family time well spent.
There is nothing better than having family support one another! I am sure your nephew will always remember these moments! Your family is beautiful!
I love spending time as a family doing fun things like this! I haven’t been to a musical in such a long time. I think we are due to go to one.
I love musicals so this sounds like it’d be so fun. Family time is super crucial as well.
It sounds like it was such a fun musical to watch. And that’s great your nephew is still going out there to pursue his dream. I think that is very important.
Wow! What a great musical show to mold young people in their acting craft but what is striking is your support for a family member trying to find his way to acting. Kudos!
This would be so cool to see. I just love musicals, so I’d enjoy seeing this. Family is important to us as well!
What a great night! Drama is a wonderful way to let out the creativity. So glad your nephew has kept up with it even with a busy schedule.
Seems like great time! Thank you for sharing your experience and congratulations to your nephew for keeping social life up even though being busy!
This is a great way to bring the community together. I love these musicals.
You did a great gesture. The family is important and creating great memories is great indeed. I love musicals so I would have had fun as well. Good luck on his dream chase journey.
I’ve never been to a musical and I think I need to start going to some. Looks like you had a great time.
I’ve only seen TWO broadway plays in my life – and my husband is actually writing a musical for Broadway right now, so perhaps I will see my THIRD ONE soon?!?!?! 🙂 I loved the two I have seen – one of them being Hamilton!!
So cool! I can tell that the kids has such a great time! I am personally not a fan of musicals, but i still would’ve loved to attend!
So glad that your nephew has such a supportive family and is pursuing his dream! Sounds like you all had fun.
I’m a huge fan of musicals ! they do not have much here in Ottawa but I would surely love to see this!
Looks like a great show. I give it to him, I was in theater in high school, and I was more of the behind the scenes type. I hope that he one day makes it big!
I love musical shows and I believe I would enjoy this too. Bringing kids in this type of show is worth it.
We create memories by going to places together that none of us have ever been to. It becomes the topic of conversation for years after!
This looks amazing! I recently went to a musical three times (once with a friend and twice others with my daughters) and what memories we made! Such a fun experience!
Hands up I love going to musicals and it has been way to long since I went to one! It sounds like this was such an amazing experience to go and see it! Love it!
What a fun night you had! I love anything Broadway so this would totally be up my alley!
I would have been a proud auntie too. Such a fun way to make family memories. 🙂
I love all of these shows. This looks like such a great performance!!!!
Oh, I love musicals! It sounds like you all had an amazing time and I’m sure your nephew was a happy camper to have all of your support.
I have heard a great deal about Broadway, never really got a chance to actually visit. You seem to have a great time there.
It seems that you really had a great experience there. I always wanted to go Broadway but I always miss a chance.
Our family loves everything musical. And this one looks so much fun.
I love musicals! This one looks like such a great one to go see. Thanks for letting me know about it. I’d love to be able to take our kids to one someday.
What a cool experience! I love all sorts of musicals and theatres. It’s a nice change to going to the movies 🙂
This would be such a fun night out. I love watching musicals and live performances.
Seeing a broadway show is always so much fun. I would love to be able to go back to see a show sometime soon.
Family time is very important me and we try to make it a priority during our busy schedules. I love how supportive you all for your nephew and we tend the do the same. You Family are big sports fans. We always tend to make a point to go to as many games as possible and support or Children, nieces and nephew.
It’s awesome that he is holding on to his dreams and I hope he makes it where his heart desires. Family time is important. Awesome post.
