One of Marina’s favorite shows is West Side Story. The performance was at a dinner theater we've never been to and it was pretty far from home.Marina listened to music on her phone for most of the ride. We arrived in Fort Collins a bit early so we checked in a waited in the lobby. Fortunately they opened a bit early.
Our server was playing Riff. Our salads were already on the table when we sat down and our meals came out very quickly. Marina ordered the honey fried chicken which she liked but also was happy eating the mashed potatoes and cauliflower on her plate. We were done with dinner early, so we had a long wait before the show started.
Once the music started, Marina paid close attention. We were both impressed by Riff and the actress playing Anita. “America” was her favorite song in the show.
During the announcements before the show they wished a woman named Marina a happy birthday. We were both amazed by that. So at intermission we made our way to her table to speak with her. She was a very nice lady and was thrilled we had come over to speak with her. When we went back to our table Marina’s pumpkin cheesecake was there. She shared some with me.
The end of the show was intense. It seemed everyone was crying, including Marina. When we got to the lobby we saw the cast lined up. We got a photo with Riff and Anita, the Jets and Maria. Marina spent a few minutes talking with her. She even got a bit teary as we talked about the end of the show.
We went to the car for the long drive home. We were both tired after a long day. Marina dozed off a bit in the car but didn’t actually fall asleep. When we finally arrived at home she went right to bed.
