Miss You Like Hell

A friend of ours has a leading role in the musical Miss you Like Hell at a local theater. So this evening we went to see the show. Marina was very excited to see her.

After dinner we drove to the theatre. We arrived early, so we checked out the new murals which were recently added outside the building. We went inside and got drinks. Once the house was open, we found our seats in the front row. The show didn’t have a lot of people there and we were the only ones in our row.

Once the show began, Marina followed the action closely. The story was about a mother and daughter. Our friend’s character was a 16 year-old girl with divorced parents and there was a lot about her that Marina identified with. And throughout, there were lines that were very similar to what Marina and I have said to each other.

The end of the show was sad and Marina got a bit teary, something that doesn’t happen very often. Clearly, it affected her.

After the show we waited for our friend in the lobby. She gave us each a warm hug and we gave her the roses we brought for her. She also introduced us to her “stage mom.” I got a few photos of them in the theatre before we left. We talked with her for quite a while before we headed home. Marina and I were pretty tired by then.
