Ali has a thing for music – and by default, musicals. We've been waiting for Oliver to come our way for about a year. She has the DVD. She has the soundtrack. She knows every line and every song. . .ask me how I know this. . .It was a relaxing evening. We started with dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant in Toledo. With time to spare, we stopped for coffee at Starbucks before heading to the theater.
Once we got to the theater we were surprised to see that we had front row seats, on the far right of the stage. This turned out to be kind of a letdown. We could see into the wings on the left side of the stage and that was kind of distracting. We could also see how much make-up the actors wear and the ways that they are artificially aged to fit the parts.
As I am thinking back about the evening, I wonder if the theater isn't a bit like aging – maybe the best view is from a little further back, with a bit more perspective. And some blurring around the edges.
