Broadway hits PPAC again!

Last year we had the great privilege of seeing the New York traveling company of Wicked when they came to Providence. Mary and John came down from Vermont and the four of us had a wonderful time. This year we were able to experience Broadway in our backyard once again when The Lion King arrived this February. This time not only did John and Mary come down, but Rebecca, Scott, Megan and Miles came as well. We split up into 2 viewing groups to enable for babysitting. The Vermont crew went to a Saturday matinee while Tony and I stayed behind with Olivia and Miles. Then, after a quick pizza dinner together, we switched up and Tony and I went to the Saturday evening show while John and Mary watched little O. I think it's safe to say that a good time was had by all. The show was really quite visually stunning.  I had never seen that much puppetry - and incredible puppetry at that! The sets were true works of art and the animals were just breathtakingly beautiful. Of course we all knew the story - which is sweet - but the real show was in the artistry of the visual aspects of the performance. Bravo!

Once again, Megan was a great, snuggly big cousin!

Too cute!
