Broadway

Seems I got very lax with this blog again and it takes someone reminding me to write to get me going again. Sorry

My daughter and I took her son, my grandson , to his first Broadway production. We picked Phamtom of the Opera for his first big stage appearance. The first act hadn't grabbed him BUT by the end of the play he was hooked. He clapped harder than I had ever seen. I think we converted him to live theater. Anyone out there have this experience?

We tried to do this with the kids also. Tried to take them individually if possible. Took our youngest daughter to the Kennedy Center in Washington D. C. to see a play about Lincoln. Made her a President Lincoln fan from them on. It starred Eva Marie Saint as Mrs. Mary Todd Lincoln. We were flying somewhere the next day and ran into Ms. Saint at the airport. I gathered up courage and spoke to her, telling her we had taken our 6 year old daughter to the play the previous evening. She liked that and said they try to do that same thing with their children.

We all need to support the Arts and live theater is a wonderful way to support the performing arts.
