It's rare to walk into a Broadway theater surrounded by a swarm of big, burly men in suits. So when I entered the Circle in the Square Theater to see Lombardi, I knew something would be different. With the stage set up in the round, and not a single "bad" seat available, Lombardi stars Dan Lauria from "The Wonder Years" as famed Green Bay Packers head coach Vince Lombardi and Judith Light, most recently from "Ugly Betty," as his wife Marie. Following the premise of a young sports journalist trying to write a Pulitzer Prize winning story on the football coach, the audience learns a great deal about both the professional and home lives of Lombardi and his families, because as the show states, he truly loved his players.
I'm not a huge sports fan, but I love a good sports movie, and if you're the same, you will appreciate this show. Of course those big, burly men in the theater came because they love football, so ladies, this is your chance to get your man to a Broadway show!
One lucky reader will receive two tickets to see Lombardi on a night of his or her choosing. The tickets must be picked up at the box office the day of the show.

ReplyDeleteI heard about this contest because you tweeted me the info on it (thanks!!). I'd like to see this show because I'm always interested in checking out new shows on & off Broadway. I'm not a HUGE football fan but I do enjoy watching the games so to know more background on a well known coach would be really interesting. (evienyc@gmail.com)
ReplyDeleteHey Yael!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Blog. Thanks for tweeting me about it. You know why I want to go to Lombardi? He says things like "Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser." Brilliant! TTYL.
I followed your blog and heard about this from @laurazanzal/@89thandbroke. My grandfather played for Lombardi while he coached at Fordham University, so I'd love see the show and learn more about him.
ReplyDeleteI followed your blog, i heard about this through twitter. I am now following you on twitter and I have retweeted this contest. My twitter is twitter.com/5aventurera.
ReplyDeleteI want to go because I just moved to NYC and i love that I can learn something new everyday, especially with events like these.
:)
i am now a follower on twitter and of your blog (stalkerish? maybe). found you through terroir's twitter. anyway, love reading about your nyc adventures, i've gotta check back and see what else you've been up to! i wanna go to this show for two reasons: 1) i'm too poor for broadway and 2) i love nostalgia of the wonder years variety.
ReplyDeleteoh, i also tweeted at ya! (sofiawfrank)
