That's Entertainment
Well, we had a weekend chockerblock full of entertainment. Yesterday, we went to see "High School Musical 3". I will admit that I haven't seen HSM2 (is that sacrilegious?) but somehow I was able to keep up. It was cute, well done, the dancing is great. I actually enjoyed it. I guess I don't get out enough and don't see too many movies, but it certainly was cute and nothing to offend with a 5 1/2 year old in tow. Oh and the Boo-Boo's seemed to really like the music. They were quite active during the musical numbers.
Today, we all went to see "Wicked". This is my 4th time, G's 2 1/2 (long story) and C's first. She's known the music for two years so we finally decided she was old enough to sit through it. According to C, she loved it. She was a little fidgety during the first act but every time one of her favorite songs came up - "Loathing", "Popular", "Defying Gravity" for starters - there was a huge smile on her face. She loved the dragon above the stage when it moved. It was great to see her reactions to some of the great things in this show. Who knows how much she really understood but she definitely had a smile on her face. We saw the Glinda understudy who was pretty good. She had a great singing voice but somehow was missing a bit of the perkiness. Elphaba was good as well but nothing can compare to Eden Espinosa (who I've seen 3 times) and Idina Menzel on the CD. The best story is Madame Morrible. I've seen the show 4 times and 3 times I've seen Carol Kane's understudy. I did see her once but I'm not convinced she's actually a regular in the show. It's pretty funny. We had a great day though and now, hopefully, when we listen to the CD, C will be able to picture the show as we sing along.
Here are some photos. You'd be so disappointed if I didn't have any.
Before the show. Notice the purse we carried today.
