14 year Anniversary Celebration

This year Alvin and I decided to drive down to the OC to celebrate our 14th anniversary. We drove down to the Huntington Beach pier, walked along the beach and watched the "surfers". Then we had some Coldstone ice cream and then went out to a local dinner theater in Tustin to watch Joseph.


It was interesting seeing the production. It was a small, local cast, but nonetheless they did a good job with dancing in confined spaces and creating props that were affordable, but effective. We both knew very little about the show prior to seeing it, so we did not go in with huge expectations. I enjoyed the music and how the score is "cleverly" put together and intertwined with the story. But as Alvin said, if someone who does not know the biblical story about Joseph goes to see this musical, they would be lost. I think it would be good to see this musical on a bigger scale someday. Alvin was not very impressed with the second half of the play and thought it was gimmicky. I must admit, portraying Pharoah as Elvis was a little over the top!

Happy Anniversary! Sorry, I guess I actually missed that didn't I. I've always wondered about that musical. I have a few songs in my musical theatre books from that one. I wish I could keep up with all the musicals, but that would take time.
