Life is a cabaret

Our good friends introduced us to the world of musicals. Previously we had seen a couple of musicals with the children and all four of us were pretty excited about it. The costumes, the decor, the music, the atmosphere in the theatre. Either you like it or you don't. Over the years, we haven't taken the children to many musicals any more, but we have made it our adult city trips. 

Our friends pick out a musical and plan three days around it. Meaning we shop, we eat, we shop some more, we go to the theatre to enjoy the exciting world of the musical. For just a couple of days, we dress up and our life is a cabaret. We are the shining stars and enjoy each other's company. Don't forget to sing along because you absolutely need to buy the CD and play it over and over to relive the experience. 

I'm a fan. There are some musicals I haven't seen yet but heard so much good about. The Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon, to name a few. My favorite musical is Le Notre Dame de Paris. Hélène Segara as Esmeralda and Garou as the Hunchback. The music makes you drift off and takes you away in this fantasy world. I have the DVD but sadly enough, I haven't seen it live. 

The other week, we went to see two musicals in Holland. No need to say we had another wonderful time and our hearts are satisfied and filled with joy. Thank you guys! You got the music in you!
