Shew! My fear of the snowstorm causing George to cancel his show was unrealized. :) As soon as I woke up Saturday morning, I checked the ticker on the local news station and was relieved to see "the show must go on!" So we bundled up and left the house 1.5 hours early (just to be safe...I was afraid the roads might be bad), and zoomed into the theater parking lot about an hour early. Which left us some time to kill in the car...but as you can see, the wait didn't dampen Andra's spirits...
By some divine alignment of the stars, my blog post earlier this year about my excitement regarding the show earned us "Meet & Greet" passes with Andra's monkey buddy. It was just meant to be. She got to spend a few minutes one-on-one backstage with George before the show. I couldn't see her face when we walked in, but the backstage hands all commented that she was grinning ear to ear! She gave him high fives, lots of hugs, and even a good luck kiss for the show.
And finally, it was showtime. Seeing her face during the opening number made my day!!! She was grinning ear to ear with eyes that showed pure amazement and delight. It made my heart leap to see her so enthralled with the show. She just grinned. And grinned. And grinned. It made my little heart go pitter pat to see her so happy. Here she is watching the opening act.
While some other kids around us got a little antsy during the show, Andra was locked in the whole time. ..applauded during all the right parts and was generally captivated by the whole experience. It was a great show and everything I hoped it'd be. What a special day for us...I think our family has another theather enthusiast.
And being the total sucker I am, we were handed a pre-sale offer for Sesame Street Live on the way out the door. I'm pretty sure we'll be at that one too. :)
