Day 2 - 225 -- Enjoying Live Theatre

Ended the week attending a play with friends --  the comedy 'Opening Night' written by Norm Foster. This dealt with examinations of relationships of two couples and the trials of those in the theatre. It contained a play within the play that went horribly sideways bringing many giggles. It was great to see the theatre almost full.

I've always enjoyed going to the theatre. Musicals, dramas and comedies have brought myriad feelings. Unlike movies, though, live actors bring a greater sense of intimacy. There are times when they interact with the audience which is pure delight. When an actor breaks character, it can be very revealing and adds to the entertainment factor. I generally check to see what is playing when I travel and have been lucky to see many renowned actors and fantastic productions.

One song that played tonight between scenes is a classic one about the entertainment industry. There are many versions both instrumental and vocal. The selection for today is one not often seen or heard where the song is sung by three amazing female singers -- who all know how to belt out a song. Enjoy!
