So...Beth came in after church to watch Ryker for us. When she got here he was still napping. Nick and I left a little after 3:30 (showtime was 6:30 since it was a Sunday) so we could go eat dinner beforehand. We went to eat at Goode Company BBQ which was really good and something different. We have had sandwiches of theirs out at the rodeo, but we had never been to one of their restaurants. It wasn't too crowded at that time either which was perfect since we wanted to get to The Hobby Center early. We'd received e-mails about some road closures and a festival in the theatre district (going on at the same time) that could affect parking there. We were there and inside by about 5:15, and we just hung out and waited for the show to start. Nick bought us a couple drinks, and we people watched. That is always super fun! :)
The show started a little late since it was a sell out and there were a lot of empty seats at 6:30. Once it got going...OH MY GOSH. It was amazing! I have never seen such elaborate costumes! I was in awe. I actually teared up a couple times at the beginning. Such a dork I know, but I couldn't help it. There were performers in the aisle of the bottom level dressed as elephants and birds for the first number. So cool. There were even performers in the balconies on the side to start the show off. Like I said....amazing! The first act was the better of the two I thought, but that's also the act with the most songs we know from the movie. There were a few original songs added as well. They were mostly in the second act. There were performers out in the audience to start off the second act too...even some up in the balcony.
Seriously. If you love the movie, have kids who love the movie, or are just itching to do something different...SEE THIS MUSICAL! You will not regret it. I guarantee it. It was so cool! Definitely something I will take my kids to see some some day. I can't wait to see it again!
