Company

As Marina is growing up, I am more willing to try taking her to shows with more mature themes. This weekend was the opening of Company at a local theater. Marina has enjoyed other works by Stephen Sondheim, so I decided to give it a try with her.

Marina decided to wear an animal print dress with her black cat hat and shoes. She took her stuffed fox with her, but she left it in the car. We met two of our friends at the theater. Marina ordered hot chocolate to drink during the show since it was a chilly night. As usual, she was excited when the show began.

Company is a musical comedy about relationships. Marina thought it was very funny and, like me, she was impressed by the singing ability of the performers. At intermission I gave her money and she bought a Hershey bar. She liked the big dance sequence at the beginning of the second act.

After the show was over, our friends had to leave but Marina wanted to stay and meet the cast. The actors we met were very nice and took photos with her. There was one actress we were hoping to speak with, but she left before we got a chance to. Marina was a little bummed, but she still had a great night.
