Hello Dolly!!

Tonight I went to see a festival theatre production of Hello Dolly with Jason. He's a quirky comp eng. guy in 3A, we met on the train going back to Stratford.

Upon arriving, I immediately noticed how underdressed I was (in jeans) and underaged as well, old ladies look extremely stylish in a sun dress... I noticed that after seeing the 200th one (I"ll try to remember this in 50 yrs)... Jason looked like he was going in for a job interview; he was even holding a black UW portfolio. It was for his driving school, but put the pressure on to ask him interesting questions.

This was my first non-high school/middle school musical and was it ever amazing!!
Music/dancing/elaborate stage arrangements and a live orchestra... the big numbers, simply put... awesome!!
The audience gave a standing ovation.

I realize now how underexposed I am to the living arts theatres/concerts and the like. I have yet to witness the overwhelming magnitude of a live symphony, something I hope to accomplish in London next month. Jason and I have agreed to see a lot more plays, and soon. Tickets are only 20 bucks, and so close to Waterloo. This festival happens every year, who's coming next summer?
