Saw a great travelin' troop of professionals doing Man of La Mancha
tonight with someone who has never been to see live theater...

It was really good, solid and the singing was top notch..

I teared up in two or three places...

The only problem I had, and it was small, was that the actor playing Sancho tried to "gay" it up a little, you know "camp gay" and it really detracted from the part...

To me that part should have been played a little road weary, you know, resigned to the man out of respect and years of service...

1. Oh, isn't live theater the best?
Good for you!

It's good to get out and see something that just cannot be reproduced any other way.......

There's an immediacy and freshness that is extraordinary.....

Glad you both had a great time!

:hi:

3. That's terrific........
The first time at live theater should be emotional.......

You're really going to expand her horizons, you know......:hug:
