Matching the right theater experience with expectations

Broadening the audience for theater these days has provided a rich variety of options.  War Horse and Master Class are amazing plays.  For musical theater buffs, Catch Me If You Can and the revival of Anything Goes and the new Sister Act are great.  To capture the younger and more hip audiences, Rent is returning, Hair is back, although so loud, you cannot understand the words, and Book of Mormon appeals to the audience that loves South Park.  So, there is something for everyone. 

The amazing talents of the actors that come to perform on Broadway seem to be sabotaged with horrible writing and not sure why.  Wonderland was an example that came and went in a nanosecond.  Voca People is new and is riding the wave of trying to appeal to international audiences where dialogue is unimportant if English is not spoken.

This extremely talented cast of 8 Acapella voices, have been handed a script that is simply awful.  The sounds they create are interesting and varied.  However, turning a concert performance into a “show” with an interesting story line is another matter.  The audience interaction is ridiculous and you just want to run during the first 45 minutes.    With no intermission, you feel like a captive audience on a foreign planet waiting to be rescued until the second half when they actors are allowed to do what they do best, just sing.  It’s Blue Man Group decked out in white singing. Let us know your favorite shows!  http://www.dnykg.com/theatre-reviews/

About Eric Gordon

Eric J Gordon has been working in the travel and tourism industry for over 25 years and founded Beyond Times Square, a leading New York-based company in 2003.

Eric is the son of Harold Gordon, the founder of Park East Tours, one of the first USA based African Safari Companies. Eric is a native New Yorker. He was raised just outside of NYC in Rockland County, but because of his parents love for NYC (they owned an apartment in Manhattan) and his father’s passion for Broadway Theater, Eric spent much of his youth in Manhattan.

Eric jumped out of college and into the safari business. After 10 years at Park East and selling the business, he moved on. Having spent so much time in New York, he declared himself a New York Expert. He saw the fragmentation in the New York City tourism industry and created Beyond Times Square, making many services available to travelers. He set out appealing to the group market and then moved on to private high-end luxury vacations in New York City, Washington DC, Boston, Philadelphia and Niagara Falls. The name Beyond Times Square grew and in 2012 Beyond Times Square became the preferred on-site tour company for the prestigious Virtuoso Luxury Travel Consortium. He also was voted on to the board of NYC&Co in 2014, serving as the first tour operator member.

Eric holds a BA in Psychology from the State University of New York College at Oswego and an MBA from Baruch College in NYC. He has visited 47 of 50 states, over 40 countries and counting.
