They See Him Here, They See Him There....

I went to see the Scarlet Pimpernel last night and it was awesome. The costumes, the scenery, I was blown away.

I had been planning on seeing the show for weeks - one of my friends was in it and the lead singer from the Leaping Lulu's (a local celtic band) was the lead. He really made the show but the other singers were very strong as well. You know me and singing. I'm pretty picky but when's it's done well I really appreciate it.

The highlight beyond the singing was the costuming. It was completely over the top but in just the right way. Big dresses with sparkles graced the stage and I really love sparkles - must go back to my pagent days. My personal favorite of the evening was Scarlet Pimpernel's band of "stylish" men. Pastel colors were combined with feathers, bows and outlandish sparkly hats topping each of the 12 men. It was awesome.

It was sold out last night but we were able to sneak in - it's good to know people in the arts community. If you haven't seen it, tonight is the last night and you'd better get there early because it will probably be sold out too.
