Chapter 282: The Body Is Great!
In the evening, at the Lincoln Center Theater, New York's most famous Broadway opera is a sold-out show, and several plays show Johnson chooses the King and Me to tell a festive story of a Thai king being cuckolded.
Stepping into the theatre is like stepping into the Royal Palace of Thailand, where the dark walls on both sides of the stage, from ceiling to floor, are as majestic and sacred as ancient murals.
To the music, a large ship sails high from the left wing of the stage, glides across the floor that stretches outward, and comes to a halt in front of it. At the bow of the boat stood the heroine Anna and her son in an English lady's dress, opening domineeringly.
The general plot is that Anna, an English governess, went to Siam with her son to teach the 58 children of the king at that time. Through Anna, the king learned the essence and connotation of modern Western civilization. Anna also experienced the absolute obedience and respect for royal power in Eastern society in her dealings with the royal family.
There is an interesting plot where Anna, who is just a newcomer, can't understand why everyone has to kneel to the king.
The king said majestically, "All men, when they see the king, will always be lower than the king." Do you remember?
Anna said: I see.
King: You really know?
Anna: Yes.
King: Then let's move on.
Anna was holding a pen and paper in the historical museum, at first the king was standing, and Anna was also standing, and soon the king frowned and squatted, and Anna also squatted, and then the king smiled evilly on the pillow on the ground, and Anna had no choice but to look at the king and had to pull his skirt and lie on the ground.
The two protagonists did not say a word, and relied on vivid expressions and movements throughout the whole process, which caused the audience to laugh.
Not surprisingly, the two men got along with each other in this way, and after a successful evening to entertain foreign dignitaries, Anna and the king danced enthusiastically to celebrate.
Before it was a few days old, the two had a big quarrel, because the king's new princess already had another sweetheart, who was caught eloping with her lover, who could bear this kind of thing, the cuckold king sentenced the person who betrayed him to death, and Anna thought the punishment was too cruel.
Then there were all kinds of bouncing, fighting, and finally a happy ending. After reading it, I feel okay, after all, there are cultural differences, not to mention the plot, the level of the actors is really awesome.
In particular, the program is exquisitely produced, with detailed information about the actors, directors and production units, so that you can get answers to all kinds of questions in the process of enjoying the musical.
The heroine is actually a graduate of the Yale Department of Psychology?
Monica is an opera fan, and it is said that there is fierce competition for musical theater actors here, and hundreds of people fight for a role, and one in a thousand can play the leading role, not to mention that she is not a graduate of musical theater.
sighs that other people's universities are really called Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, especially in a literary and artistic university like Yale, where a graduate of the history department once won the Oscar?
Through the headset, the theater sound perfectly transmits the actors' large singing passages to all corners of the theater, especially the stereo multi-channel singing voice roars in the ears, together with the heroine's aria, which is moving and impressive.
Originally, I thought that it would be difficult for foreigners to blend into the atmosphere of musicals, but in person, you can still experience the perfect combination of thriller and horror, peaks and loops, vertical and horizontal, and magnificent opera and musical.
In the intense conflict between history and reality, psychedelia and reality, virtual and reality, beauty and ugliness, mobilize all artistic sensibilities to fully appreciate a starry, unpredictable, magnificent and timeless opera.
It's home to the best actors, the best arrangers, and the most dedicated people behind the scenes, making Broadway the best show in the world. The best actors dream of performing on Broadway, which is a spiritual treasure for people living in New York.
Even SC Johnson has to say that if a trip to New York needs a climax, there is no doubt that it will be a Broadway musical, whether it is "The Phantom of the Opera" or "The Lion King", whether it is "Les Miserables" or "Hamilton", definitely go see one!
Monica recommends a two-Michelin-starred restaurant where the sommelier enthusiastically pours sparkling wine, paired with cheese shortbread and shortbread with cuttlefish ink, which tastes a bit like shrimp chips.
Crispy and smoked mozzarella cheese with dried tomatoes should be a variation of the Italian popular appetizer mozzarella cheese with tomatoes, and the small creativity is quite pleasantly surprised.
The second course has a somewhat molecular twist, with concentrated stock in a chocolate crust, reminiscent of Chef Mo's finale, xiao long bao, and a Q-bomb algal crust in the spoon wraps the pork broth, like a small pill.
The last black ball is the cuttlefish ink crust, which is wrapped in snow-white cod filling, and the black-and-white color is wonderful.
The restaurant has recently changed its seasonal menu, and there are small changes from the regular Tasting Menu, not to mention the taste, and the service is not bad. A manager, a sommelier, and two waiters are surrounded by a comfortable and relaxed service, but with a subtle view of the needs.
Under the scallop shell-shaped leaves, I thought it was the smoked almonds in the name of the dish, but it turned out to be six tender prawns. Sprinkle almond flour with ingenuity to make the shrimp taste richer. This honest and hidden little surprise is really pleasant, and in the meal bag with appetizers, the shortbread actually has an almond flavor to echo?
The first time you eat pizza-like risotto, it's like ordering a tomato scrambled egg and serving a boiled egg + sugar tomatoes, which completely subverts your thinking.
There is no meat or seafood, and the taste of cheese juice and dressing powder alone is bold enough. One mouthful, sure enough, as always, the raw rice, the well-defined rice, with the viscous cheese juice, the sprinkling of seasoning powder, you must learn from shit Indian food, and give up decisively.
The dessert is directly eaten to spit caviar, watch Monica eat with relish, Johnson smiled evilly, save some stomach, the essence of Lao Tzu will be there for a while!
Back to the hotel, I worked for 300 rounds, and it is good to say that the development of the old beauty is good, and the convex and backward warp are full of elasticity. Especially the big groove, every time it hits, it seems that it can bounce back without exerting force!
I used to hear that Asians rode ocean horses, and they were all shabu sprouts in the Pacific Ocean?
Personal experience tells you that it's all!
Foreigners are similar to us, don't be misled by action movies, they are all hard goods.
The women are also very similar, probably because they have good physical strength, energy, and a lot of requests, so they feel a little overwhelmed.
In addition, he is enthusiastic, likes to open three holes together, has no taboos, and sighs again that his body is so good.
The horses have just started to warm up and the riders have already quit?
After all, he is also a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he screamed a few times, played eighteen kinds of martial arts, and did not embarrass his ancestors.
