Off to Neverland!

When I learned a local theater was presenting Peter Pan, I knew this was a show Marina would enjoy. From the time I told her about it she has been looking forward to it. Marina decide to wear her Tinkerbell costume. She brought Kailey along. We have a Tinkerbell costume for the dolls, but Marina decided she would dress Kailey as Belle for the show.

We've gotten a lot of snow over the past few days, so we left early to make sure we arrived on time. Marina was delighted with all the Peter Pan decorations around the theater. She also loved all the compliments she got on her outfit.

Our seats were in the second row and Marina took a long look into the orchestra pit before the show. Then she carefully read the program. She excitedly pointed out to me that the young woman playing Wendy had been Dorothy in the production of The Wizard of Oz we saw last summer.

The show was wonderful. Marina thought the pirates were "hilarious" and she was happy to clap her hands to ave Tinkerbell. Her only disappointment was that Tinkerbell was portrayed by a lighting effect, not by an actor. She mentioned that to an usher who suggested maybe Marina should have played Tinkerbell. She loved that idea!

After the show, we waited around to meet with Sarah, the actress playing Wendy. She remembered us from the summer and stayed around to talk for a while.

After talking with Sarah, we headed home. It was late and we were both really tired. But we were really glad we got to see this show.
