Cats, Sleep, and The Wizard of Oz...and the Beach!
I saw Cats on Friday. It was......intersting. Definitely not my favorite Broadway show. Unfortunately, I was extrememly tired so I almost fell asleep like 5 times. The dancing for the most part was cool. I liked how the actors/dancers actually moved like cats....I know, I know, the whole reason the show is called cats is because they are supposed to be cats...but it was still cool how they looked like cats. I really wish I hadn't been so tired. I know I would have enjoyed it a lot more than I did. But if you get a chance to see it, I would suggest it because it is definitely different than any other show I've seen thus far.
The perk of being so tired is that I was able to get 11 hours of sleep. That is a record for me...ok...only a record of recent sleep habits. It was a glorious 11 hours of sleep. However, I did wake up at 6:10 AM and 6:48 AM and freaked out because I thought I was going to be late for school...only to realize that it was a Saturday. Silly me.
That night I saw Aloha's production of "The Wizard of Oz". It was pretty good. Morgan of course did really well. However, since it was closing night, the actors decided to put in things that were not in the script. Lucky for the audience, these unscripted jokes and lines were not inside jokes...meaning that the audience could actually understand them. I kind of wish I could have seen a different night because I do't like it when lines are added just for fun and to play to the audience. But oh well....it was still a good performance. The pit was behind them. It was nifty.
I am going to say right now that I don't know how much internet time I'll be getting. The connection I am using is far away and will probably log me off more times than not. So I probabyl won't post until I get home. But we'll see.
I love the beach :)

*sigh* Crystal, "Cats" is one of if not my most favorite broadway show, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it. I'm also very glad that Sil doesn't let is destroy our shows on closing nights like other high school theatres.

Who was Morgan playing? I'll bet he was great. I think Cats would be interesting, the concept has always intrigued me. See you! ;-)
