I'm a felon!

Pretty Girl and I went the the Theater last night. We weren't sure we could catch the show but, as it turned out, we scored tickets. Tickets to Mary Poppins. Apparently, the draw to this Broadway Series show is every one's fond memories of the Disney movie. I've seen it many, many times. I even had the piano book of the songs and played all of them. I was best at Feed the Birds.

We had pretty inexpensive tickets and I feared we would be in the upper balcony. My fears were correct. We went up a ramp, up that staircase, walked over to the other staircase, walked up, saw another stair case, walked up that, which led us to another staircase and we walked up that one. Just when we thought we were there, there were more stairs. No problem, I've been working out. I wasn't even winded. What did knock the breath out of me was when we went to the forth row to find our seats. I could not look at the stage. I felt like I was going to fall all the way to the stage. I actually wondered if I could survive if that happened. I sat down as soon as I could and felt as if I needed a seat belt. I figured that would help me stay in my seat and not fall to my death.

Then I took this picture, merely to show you all just how far up we were.


















I was immediately confronted by an usher telling me that I MAY NOT TAKE ANY PHOTOGRAPHS, THAT IT'S AGAINST THE LAW AND COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT! Geez, lighten up. I explained that I was only trying to show how far up we were. Ok, I lied. I really did want the picture of the curtain with the title as well. He was not amused. Are you surprised that my sarcastic side kicked in? I asked him if we wanted me to delete the picture (like I would!). He let me off easy and told me that we wasn't going to insist on it. Whatever dude. This guy is just some student working his way through the largest University in the world, who raised the tuition practically every semester, by ushering people, with no money, up to the nose bleed seats.

Anyway, the show was excellent (even though it was 3 hours long!) and I'm really glad we went, despite the fact that I still feel like I'm falling.
