Return to Neverland

Earlier this year, Marina and I saw a production of Peter Pan. Marina loved it so much that when I heard of a dinner theater also producing the show, I thought she'd like to see it again.

This dinner theater is one we had never been to before. It was a bit further than we've driven together. Marina brought along a scrapbook she was working on and that kept her quite happy during the long drive. She also had her Tinkerbell doll to keep her company. When we arrived, Marina was immediately impressed by the outside of the building.

We arrived early for lunch and both of us liked the inside of the theater. One of our servers let us know she would be playing Wendy. Marina was thrilled! Marina ordered "fairy juice" to drink. She was especially happy with the glowing ice cube in her drink. It looked like Tinkerbell was in her glass!

We enjoyed our lunch and settled in to watch the show. We were told that we should boo Captain Hook every time he was onstage. Marina was happy to comply. He seemed to take it in stride. The show was wonderful and we enjoyed dessert at intermission.

After the show, many of the actors were assembled in the lobby for a meet and greet. Marina was really excited about posing with Nana the dog, Tiger Lily as well as Peter Pan and Wendy. I had to talk her into meeting with Captain Hook and Smee, but ultimately, she agreed.

 

After the pictures, we got into the car for the long drive home. But Marina didn't mind. In the car she said, "It was worth it!"
