Hello Dolly


Mandy and I are going to put on our Sunday cloths on Sunday the 15th and go see Hello Dolly at the 5th Avenue Theater. I’m really looking forward to it. I do enjoy musicals very much. Frank will also be seeing a show that day. He’s going to Wicked in Portland with friends. I’ve already seen Wicked and enjoyed it very much, but I have never seen Hello Dolly done live. I’ve seen the movie, of course, but going to the theater is a whole different thing.
Mandy and I also plan to go see “The Music Man” in Auburn the following Saturday. A group of old school mates of mine proposed going to see the show together. We found each other on Facebook, you see, and naturally that lead to a desire to meet once again face-to-face. Mandy and I both moved in the drama club circle in school, so we both know people who are going to be there. It should be interesting. Mandy has kept in touch with a lot of her school chums, I haven’t so there’s a lot of catching up to do. The drama circle was more my thing than Mandy’s, so she won’t have seen this crowd in a long time either. Oh yeah…and “Music Man” is one of our faves too. Let’s not forget that!
To round out our theater month and to get in one more blast from the past. We also plan to see “The Merchant of Venice” that weekend as well. The Seattle Shakespeare Company is presenting it at the Roundhouse Theater. In high school, Mandy and I were both in it. We played Solanio and Salerio, the two *male* gossips who serve as an effective substitute for a Greek chorus in the show. I still have old picture of the two of us with glued-on goatees.
So how about that for a theater-going month!
