Before I got married and moved from SoCal, I used to go to dinner theater all the time. Loved it! I don't know why everything for me goes back to food :)
It's like that episode of Seinfeld when George combines all his favorite things. Dinner Theatre is a delightfully perfect example of that. And now I'm hungry. AGAIN.
We have taken the kids to see some classics, but I feel like once we did the big time of Shrek the Musical on Broadway it was tough to follow up...now we want the funny (and crude for mr fifteen)
There is nothing like introducing kids to the world of theatre. (sorry, English spelling)I'm lucky that I have a little man who enjoys plays and musicals, he's favourite being Little Shop Of Horrors, played constantly on a loop.
Loved the article, it brought back memories of my first ever outing. :)
Sounded like a delightful memory from your youth and a delightful memory for your kids' youth!! I think everyone should have the opportunity to see a play like this; it does change the perspective of watching things on TV or in a movie theater, singing and all! Sounds like a fun filled time!
Thanks, Betty. Jack in particular was very enthralled. I think he's caught the theatre bug. Everyone should enjoy at least a few good shows before they die. The world would be a better place.
I love the theater. Sadly, we've usually left the kids with Grandma anytime we've gone (which isn't often). Maybe it's time to start bringing them along?
Tickets are expensive, I don't blame you. I have a friend who only does the first half (up to intermission) with her kids. It seems like a brilliant plan to me!
Our girls LOVE to sing Defying Gravity. I can't wait to take them to see the real thing. Excellent story. :-)
ReplyDeleteI knew I liked you, Mama Melch.

ReplyDeleteI have not seen Shrek the Musical. I feel oddly okay with that.
DeleteLet me know what crude shows you select!

I had to google "theater" because I wanted to spell it "theatre." Damn British grandmother.
DeleteThanks for the kind words & so happy Spawn enjoys a good show, too!
One day I hope to go and take Victor to enjoy a couple of plays ... some day..
ReplyDeleteGlad you guys had fun and that sounds like the absolute bestest day ever.
It was grand. Thanks, Larissa!

DeleteI haven't been to your blog (or many others) in forever and I miss you! It looks like I have a lot of catching up to do! :)
ReplyDeleteNo worries, Hi-D. Don't feel the pressure to read the past. Be the ghost of Blogger Present!
