Carl thought he hit a gold mine when he found out that his parents were taking him with them on their trip to New York. It wasn’t that he didn’t usually get to go on their vacations, but this was actually an important business trip for his mother who was going to negotiate having her paintings displayed at the Brooklyn Museum, or one of the museums or galleries in Brooklyn, Carl wasn’t entirely sure which one. And actually he didn’t care that much which gallery she was in until he found out he would be going along.
Although his parents guaranteed that Carl would be going with them, he didn’t completely believe it until he saw the actual plane and best hotels Manhattan reservations. As soon as he saw both of those he immediately began making plans for what he would like to do and see. He was even a bit surprised to learn that his dad was willing to go with him to Coney Island while his mother was in her meeting. His dad thought a thrilling ride on a roller coaster and greasy hot dog was something the two of them could enjoy together without Carl’s mother.
However, as a compromise, Carl was expected to go to a production of Wicked with his mother and father to celebrate her meeting, regardless of its outcome. Carl wasn’t particularly interested in musical theatre but he went to the Gershwin Theatre with his parents to make them happy. Interestingly, Carl was the one who seemed to enjoy the production the most. His mother couldn’t stop thinking about her meeting and his dad just wasn’t that into it. Meanwhile, Carl thought the back-story, or the alternative story, to the Wizard of Oz was really interesting and he was even kind of fascinated by the sets, the costumes and the music. After his trip to New York, Carl had a different opinion of musical theatre, and while he didn’t love it as a whole, he was certainly open to exploring specific shows.
