Let's See A Show

Paul with the world's only pregnant Asian "Glinda the Good"

It was bound to happen. With parents who love the theater, we knew Paul had a dramatic streak. How could he not? But we've put off live theater for him in part because he's not always able to sit still. But when one of his favorite books and movies was being shown at the Wheelock Family Theater, how could we refuse? Joining some good friends, we got our tickets to the last matinee performance. So, to Oz? To Oz!

Paul had a blast. He was grinning from ear to ear from the start of the overture to the curtain call. He stayed on my lap the whole time and barely moved. He was transfixed and giddy. His favorite part? (1) the Cowardly Lion and (2) the Jitterbug. He must have really been paying attention, because his favorite part of the movie is Roy Boldger's Scarecrow - and the Jitterbug isn't in the movie or the book.

I'm glad he's caught the bug. Hopefully Joss will too.
