So ...
Beth has a co worker who has season tickets to the Overture Center.
She gave up a pair of her tickets so she and her husband could go see Cirque de Soliel in Las Vegas. For $67 I got a third row seat at the Overture Center and got to see the Producers.
I don't think I stopped smiling until we hit the crowd leaving of course.
I have never thought of myself as a musical kind of girl. Phantom of the Opera and the like bore me to tears. However Mel Brooks humor and sparkly costumes.
Sign me up.
We were so close we could see the microphones in their wigs.
We saw them spit.
It was amazing.
I always have a blast w/Beth but this was especially magical.
Because Beth is my truly talented theatrical friend. So I had someone who could explain to me what the thing that looked like a silver mole on a person's forehead was. Or how they were able to sing and dance at the same time. I know these seem like stupid things to wonder about but I do. Beth being patient lets me enjoy and explains. One of other friends who is also in theater goes so far as to explain how they do lighting in movies to me. I guess being a theater major makes her an expert on lighting. Did I mention my senior paper in college was on how light was used to help tell the story in Apocalypse Now?!
My point is this.
It feels good to have friends that now when to tell you are stupid but never make you feel that way.
It feels even better when you can share such amazing stuff w/them.
I am now officially a musical geek. Watch out I may be watching the Tony's soon.
My dream musical? BLAZING SADDLES BABY!!!

Do "movie" musicals count? Check out "On the Town" starring Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, Ann Miller and that lady who played the landlord on "Laverne and Shirley," it's fun... don't forget Caprise, the Rocky Horror Picture Show was also a musical... you were already cultured.
I forgot to tell you that I am going to my first ballet next weekend. Dan and I are taking our oldest niece as a birthday present to her. She has been taking ballet classes for I think three years and has been once before. I am sure that she will tell us if it is good or not.
If movie musicals count than I am there already I guess. I have watched Seven Brides for Seven Brothers more times than I would like to admit. :!
Rocky Horror totally forgot about that! I guess I am a little cultured!
I envy you the ballet. My short, chubby body always longed for that kind of grace and I crushed on many a Russian ballet dancer in my youth. Enjoy it and fill me in!
You're not stupid, at all silly! It was fun to discuss stuff with you . As you know, I'm not a musical fan either, but that was GREAT. Super funny and a good time, what more could you ask for on a Fri night?
Thanks for kickin' it with me!!!! :) Yay! :)
