Beauty and the Beast

After much anticipation, the day had finally come for Chloe to go see her first broadway musical.  Joining us was Grammy, Aunt Marley, Lisa and Hannah Favara, Denise and Emily Barnes, Heather and Tavi Layne Johnson, Amanda and Lola Harris, April and Emma Layne Castle and Ladonna Moss.  We all met at the church and headed for Spaghetti Warehouse in Memphis for lunch.  Then it was off to the Orpheum Theater to see the play.  Chloe enjoyed it except the part with the wolves, which was kind of scary. Funny thing happened at the end of the play.  At the part when the beast was supposed to rise up and transform into the prince, a curtain came down and a man over the microphone said they were experiencing technical difficulties!  After a few minutes, they tried that part again.  Belle was lying over the beast crying, and I was telling Chloe, "Watch! Watch! See what happens to the beast!" and the curtain dropped again and the man spoke again!  Technical difficulties!  So, after a few more minutes, the curtain rose up again. This time, the beast was already standing, and he kinda stuck out one arm, then the other, and then after a flash of light, he just ripped the mask off his head! As Heather said, "We got the cheap version!"  After the play, we stopped at Cracker Barrel for some supper, then headed home.  Great fun with a great group of ladies!
