Well-established is my love of song and dance. Not particularly for me to do either of those, but to watch others do them. So, inspired by the grand tradition of Grease, Grease II, The Pirate Movie, Stayin Alive, Footloose, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Shag, Moulin Rouge, Chicago, So You Think You Can Dance, etc., I took my Little Sis to a musical adaption of the book "And The Dish Ran Away With the Spoon" at a local children's theater. It was...well, the combination of eager young triple-threats and community-theater-loving parents with misbehaved children is a bit much for me. But it was entertaining and free, and I applaud the group who puts these shows on because the plays are free and they encourage literacy and the actors are doing it out of love. I think that's really cool.
That being said, the dog made the odd dramatic choice to play her role as Blanche DuBois in a dog costume, and the wolf sneered half of his face like Elvis. Gotta get your kicks where you can get them in community theater, I guess.
And speaking of completely unrelated music: is there another song that makes you want to dance in dewy summer grass as much as "Brown Eyed Girl" does?
