Theaterfest

http://www.broadwayworld.com/columnpic/spellingbee2.jpg

Last night, we went to our first musical in the outdoor theatre one town over. The outdoor theatre is positively adorable. There's a grassy area out front where you can picnic before the show. As you walk in, they have cushions and blankets to rent. Last night's weather was practically perfect. It wasn't too chilly nor too hot. The musical we saw is called The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. The show was delightful and the songs were witty. The best parts of the dialogue had to be the sentences that the vice principal would give when the contestants would ask for a word to be used in a sentence. They even took volunteers from the audience to participate during the actual spelling bee. Chip Tolentino was our favorite character and we were sad to see him be dismissed from the bee. We're hoping to see a play next time rather than a musical.
