Took Maddie to see CATS over the weekend at The Esplanade. We went with her friend Sophia and her mom Christine and had such a great time. It is the first time I've been into the Esplanade, and it is beautiful inside.
The cast of this production was AMAZING and so engaging with the audience. We had great seats, first floor balcony on the side, so Maddie and Sophia were even more excited to be so close. I love seeing theater productions, but even more with Madeline. She is so into the stage, drama, and dancing-that it is like seeing it thru a whole new set of eyes with her. She comments on choreography, and notices things that I normally wouldn't. I love the fact that she just LOVES being near a stage-she lights up and almost glows. :) Sounds silly, I know, but its like an inner glow inside of her. After the show was over, she wanted to know if we could buy a DVD so she could watch it again. She talked the WHOLE way home in the taxi about the technical side (dancing) and what she was most impressed with. The cast was so talented and she read up on each person and their bio in the program. She wanted to know where they studied dance, where they went to college, etc. Soaking it all in.
It was a really fun afternoon and am so glad we were able to see it. I promised her when we go back to the States this summer, we will take the train into NYC again and see another show on Broadway.
