We were invited by my friend (and neighbor) Jackie to go with her and her daughter Jade to see a local production of "Beauty and the Beast" over in Peru. She works for IV Cellular and they help fund the theater there, so it was a special night for all IV Cellular employees. So, she got Madie and I free tickets and we went tonight. It was sooooo fun!! The play started at 7:30, but for about 30 min before the opening, they served appetizers. We got to eat some yummy food and we got introduced to several of her friends from work before going inside to be seated. We got to sit just one row back from the front on the far right side. It was a really good view. It was a rather long play and we didn't get home until nearly 11pm, so the girls were tired, but they had a great time. The actors were really good. It was funny and they all had really nice voices. They really brought it to the audience by having a lot of scenes where the actors came down the aisles and stuff. The guy that played Lumiere was hilarious and so was Cogsworth. They both were very funny. Afterwards, Madie and Jade got to get their picture taken with Belle, which they thought was really cool and Madie got her picture taken with Gaston as well. Jade was afraid of him. She didn't like how he stabbed the Beast with a knife, so even though poor Gaston tried coaxing her to take a picture, she wouldn't budge. Afterwards, Jackie bought the girls a light-up rose like the Beast had in the play. Madie was pretty excited about that. It was a really fun night and I'm hoping we'll be able to go again sometime. "Alice in Wonderland" is coming in Aug. Maybe Madie and Noah would both like to see that one. :-)
