In March 2008 Amanda and I headed to New York City for a couple of days. This was just six weeks after Ava past away, so we wanted a chance to get away for a short trip. Besides seeing the Brooklyn Tabernacle, we were able to see The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway where we sat on the sixth row, center section. The play is among our favorites and the trip is one of our highlights in life.
In 2009 Amanda and I had the opportunity to go up to Chicago before Jackson was born. While there we had the chance to visit Chicago's version of Broadway and catch the musical Mary Poppins. Although we love the story of Mary Poppins, we didn't know what to expect from the musical. It was fantastic, one we were pleasantly surprised with.
In 2010 Amanda went and saw probably our favorite play we have seen, besides The Phantom of the Opera. We went over to the DPAC and saw Wicked, which was absolutely incredible. Defying Gravity is one of our favorite songs from any of the musicals we have seen.
In 2010 we headed over to Ethiopia and didn't make our next musical until we were back in the States in 2014. In April we went over to the DPAC to see The Wizard of Oz. This was our first musical we went to with our friends Grant & Michelle. We had a great time, although I still give Grant a hard time for picking the seats. Let's just say "I've a feeling we weren't in the DPAC anymore..."
In July of last year when we took our 15th anniversary trip to Prince Edward Island, we went to see Anne of Green Gables. The play was fantastic, and has been running for 50 years in Charlottetown.
And that brings us finally to last Friday when we went to the DPAC to see Beautiful. If you don't know much about Carole King, it is amazing to know the number of hit songs that she has written over the years. It was another great musical.
Hopefully there will more down the road...
