This year's show is The Wizard of Oz. Naturally, Marina wanted to dress for the show. Unfortunately, her Dorothy costume was a bit too small for her to wear today. She has a Glinda costume, but she thought it was "too hot." So I dug out a Dorothy costume I wore when I was 15. It was too big, but we made it work. She also brought McKenna along. She had a Glinda costume that fit her, so while they didn't match, they did coordinate.Marina's cousin Michelle wanted to see the show as well. The only dress she had to wear was very formal, so I dressed up too. We left early since the theater is far from our house. But we arrived in plenty of time.
First we had lunch. It turned out the actress playing Dorothy was one of our servers. Marina was excited by that. They don't have a kid's menu, but they offer some dishes that are obviously geared toward them. However, Marina skipped those and went for the Chicken Cordon Bleu, which she really liked. She also surprised me by eating most of her salad. Usually she's uninterested in salads.Once the show started, Marina was captivated by it. She laughed at the jokes and sang along with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." She also loved the live dog playing Toto for much of the first act.
We had dessert at intermission. Marina ordered the Emerald City pie. She was pretty pleased with that as well, especially the yellow brick road made out of candy on top.
Once the show was over, everyone had the chance to have their picture taken with the cast. Of course, Marina was anxious to take them up on that offer.We also got a chance to get a photo of the Wizard. We looked for the Wicked Witch and Glinda, but they weren't available for pictures, so we headed home.
