You know that list that we all have (some in our heads)of things we just have to do/accomplish/see before we die? Well...I actually get to cross one of my list items off. Sunday night I got to be my dad's date to the broadway production of "Les Miserables".
Now, I know some of you may find broadway or musicals lame or boring (A-hem, my husband), but I have found them captivating. I can sing at least one song from most musicals/operas, and I know most of you are probably thinking what an incredible dork I am for that. However, it gets worse...in high school, I would come home from church on Sundays and sing to my broadway c.d.s for hours. I discovered Phantom of the Opera and fell in love (that is the other one I have to see before I die)and learned every word to the entire play. Then when I was 16, I discovered Les Miserables and thought I had died and gone to heaven. I absolutely LOVED the song "On My Own" sung by Éponine and immediately was drawn to her love sick character. It was so bad that I still know the exact time on each track of the c.d. that Éponine's character begins to sing. So, getting to actually see this amazing show live (and well-done) was just more than I could ask for. Thank you to my dad for being my date and the great time we had. Thank you to my mom for giving me her ticket AND watching Kya while I was there.
I hope all of you get to cross something off your list soon.

Oh fun! I haven't seen that one live, but I love Broadway shows! I hope you get to see all the ones you want... perhaps you could invest in season tickets or maybe ask for that as a gift??
If I could have been able to buy a ticket, I would have been your date! I would love to go to a big, professional musical. I lucked out having Le who enjoys the arts, money has been the only thing keeping us...but one day! (And I will totally sing phantom of the opera with you. I would have loved to take lessons when I was younger)
Tell Nick Broadway isn't lame!! Me and Ai love musicals. :) Congrats, I'm jealous you got to see Les Mis. I've never seen it myself.
I LOVE Les mis. Andrew and I saw it together in houston when we were engaged. It was awesome (but I got sick at intermission!) I love Cosette & Marius's sweet, pure, love story. It is so beautiful... "A heart full of love..."
I had a great time that night, too, because I got to spend some quality time with Kya. And Nick was sweet enough to mow AND edge both our front AND back yards, so Bill not only had a date with a beautiful young woman, but his yard is JUST like he likes it.
I was honored for you to have used my ticket, Sweetie...and thrilled that you enjoyed it so much!
