New Experiences

It has been awhile and I want to share a lot with people and introduce them to my blog. I love being able to write and share my experiences at the Majestic Theatre.  I feel bad that I have not taken the time to keep up with my blog but I am going to turn over a new leaf.  There have been so many shows I have seen and many exciting experiences. I can't catch up but I will review some highlights.

One show that was absolutely amazing was The Lion King.  That show came through during the Christmas season last year and was well attended.  The Lion King was like no other show I had seen in my life. The actors were amazing. I was especially impressed with the boy who played Young Simba. Dawna liked the actor who played Scar (I suppose she has a little rebellion in her, HA).  But, the entire production was amazing and there were many specific instructions for us ushers to follow.  One important part of the show was at the very beginning when characters came right down the aisles. These characters are not just people in costumes...they are productions in and of themselves.  We had to make sure that the patrons didn't stand up or walk in the aisles when the costumed performers came down their aisles. I worried every night if one of the actors would fall. I decided that The Lion King was my favorite show ever. The theatrics were amazing and kept you riveted to the stage from beginning to end.

Another show we enjoyed doing was one called 1964 - The Tribute.  It was another tribute Beatles Band and they were amazing too.  We had an all around good time. Entertained the entire evening. The actors/singers had a meet and greet at the end. Dawna and I stayed to help with the line of people waiting for the meet and greet and afterwards took some pics with them.  It was just a fun time for us. I love the Beatles so seeing this was enjoyable to hear their music from the early days of the band.  Here is a picture we took with them.

 "Weird Al"  came and he was truly entertaining.  His show was one of the best shows I have ever seen. I was so. impressed with the man's talents and the ability that he had to put on a phenomenal show. Everyone went away from the show entertained.  I loved his "White and Nerdy" song when he had came out on stage driving a segway. They played a video in the background of Donny Osmond being all nerdy and I cracked up. 

The audience was a mix of young and old; male and female. He appeals to many. My husband Ken took our son Ian to see it and they had a great time too. Ian got a T-shirt and thought it was cool to be sitting just 10 rows back. 

I do love the volunteers at the Majestic and all the years of dedication many have put into it.  Some have been there for more than 20 years and others just a few years. But, we all work together with some of the greatest staff members in any business.  The house managers are a blast to work with and they are enthusiastic about the shows and great with the patrons.

It took me forever to finalize this post one put it up, but I will add more later.  I hope to keep up with this more regularly now too.

P.S. Since I took so long to publish this, I have decided there is a new favorite show. Stay tuned for updates soon on what my favorite show is now.
