Peter Pan

Friday night was date night. We took the kids to a production by the Children's Musical Theatreworks - Peter Pan. It was wonderful. It was a play put on by a local children's theatre group. It was a perfect date!

Here are my dates before the show, eagerly waiting.

Here they are posing in front of the darkened set after the show.

The kids did fantastic for the show. Including the 2 intermissions, the show was about 2.5 hours long. Jonathan got a little restless just before the second, longer, intermission so he and I stepped out about 5 minutes before the break. We missed the part where they got the audience involved, clapping to bring Tinkerbell back to life, "I do believe in fairies!" Jonathan gladly went back in after intermission to watch the end of the show. Clara was enthralled by the whole show. We weren't allowed to take pictures during the performance, otherwise I'd probably have about 50 pics of her face as she watched the play. The play stayed pretty true to the movie with Mary Martin. Clara has only ever seen Disney's version of Peter Pan, so she was intrigued by the little differences. There were parts where the cast members came into the audience, the Pirates entered the stage by walking up the aisles, and Wendy, John, Michael and Peter Pan all flew too! Clara said she'd definitely like to see more plays so we joined the mailing list of this theatre company, they'll be doing Alice in Wonderland this summer!
