Heathers

I had plans to see the musical Heathers with Angie last weekend. Due to the content, I wasn’t sure it Marina would like it. We were supposed to go last weekend, but the weather was bad last weekend when we were supposed to go so I rescheduled for today and bought an extra ticket so Marina could come. At first she didn’t seem very excited about it but then she found the songs “Candy Store” and “Dead Girl Walking” on YouTube and really liked them. So she was looking forward to it today.

This theatre was a long drive from home, so right after church we had a quick lunch with Angie and then got on the road. Marina listened to music for most for the trip. It took us just under two hours to get to the theater. We were all pretty happy to be moving around when were got out of the car.

The theater is technically a dinner theater although a meal is not included with the ticket price. Since we ate before we left, we decided to have dessert. Marina ordered an ice cream sundae with chocolate sauce.

Once the show began Marina was completely engrossed. Some of it was on the raunchy side, but she was laughing through it all. At intermission she said she wished she had worn her plaid skirt so she would look like the Heathers in the show.

After the show was over, Marina wanted to meet the actors. She spent quite a while talking to the actresses who played the Heathers. We took a photo with them and the actor who played JD. She obviously had a good time.
