Snug Slug Activities

The show last night was delightful!

I had never seen “My Fair Lady” performed live before, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

My oldest sister and her son, my oldest nephew, accompanied me to the theatre.

We met at Dairy Queen before the show and had some blizzards. I had the French Silk Pie blizzard. It was good, but maybe a little underwhelming. I liked the bits of graham cracker crust that were mixed in; they added a nice crunch, and the chocolate shavings were delightful, but I think that the blizzard itself could have been a little more chocolatey.

We then went to the theatre and had an absolute blast. The show was long; the first act alone was almost two hours, but well worth it. The actors did a fabulous job. There were a lot of familiar faces on the stage, but there were some new ones too, and they were a wonderful addition to the stage.

The orchestra did a great job, but then, they always do.

The costumes and set were good too. The set was built by one of my younger sisters, so I might be a little bit biased.

I forgot how much I loved the music from this show.

I know that in context it could be considered a little creepy, but I love the song “The Street Where You Live”. It feels like a reminder to stop and admire the little things that are around you every day and you don’t notice.

Another favourite song is “Show Me”, which is again because of the message and emotion behind it.

The show runs all of this weekend and next. I may well find myself going again.

My nephew seemed to really enjoy it, despite his initial reluctance to go. It can be hard to find the motivation to do things when you’re 16, so I’m really glad he agreed to come. I could hear him laughing from the other side of his mother, although I think he was a little unsatisfied by the ending…
