baby's first play


it's been years since we've been to a play - and i was just reminded of how much i love plays. the last one we went to was the Phantom of the Opera at the Jubilee in Edmonton just before we got married.

i had heard the Lion King was in town through people on facebook who had gone and really loved it. i wanted to just check out the ticket prices and see if there were any good seats left when i found three tickets 5 rows from the stage near the center. even though they were $100 each, i couldn't resist - i hate having bad seats at a play and these were too good to pass. the clock on the bottom of the computer screen was ticking and i had to decide whether to take these tickets or not... and with jesse's encouragement, i bought the tickets.

the singing, dancing, puppetry - they were all fabulous. i felt like a little kid again as the circle of life came on and the animals came down the aisle (right beside us) to go see simba. it was almost magical.

at about "be prepared", the baby decided to dance to all this music and pretty much didn't stop until the end of the play. so either she loved it or hated it, haha, one or the other....

i can't wait til she is here and a bit older so we can go to these plays together. i was hoping to go to the Christmas Carol again at the Citadel Theatre in edmonton (i saw it two times already and would definitely see again), but i think that's cutting it too close to the due date to be driving back and forth to Edmonton.... oh well, maybe next year.
