Wizard of Oz Ballet

Marina and I have been fans of the ballet for a long time. We were very interested when they announced they were presenting a new work – The Wizard of Oz. The downtown area was still very crowded so we gave ourselves plenty of time. Despite that, we still ran into terrible traffic and it took us quite a while to park. Once inside the theatre, we picked up drinks and snacks and waited to sit down. There was a technical issue and we waited for a long time.

 While we were waiting to be seated, a friend of ours joined us. Once the technical issues were settled, the doors to the theater opened and we made our way to our seats. The show started shortly afterwards. The ballet was a good one. It combined traditional ballet with modern twists and took a humorous tone throughout. The special effect were impressive.

 After intermission when the lights were going down, Marina shushed us because she didn’t want to miss anything! After the show we lingered in the theater and took some photos in front of a fun backdrop. That allowed traffic to ease up so we weren’t stuck in traffic when we left.
