Girls Night Out

Saturday night I took most of my girls out for a girls' night out.  Youngest daughter, who does not live in the area, was not among us, but she has already seen this play, Anything Goes, more than once.  I thought this would be a different kind of family gathering.  Usually, we celebrate events with a dinner  (which typically I cook).  This we the closest date I could come up with that worked for everyone, anywhere near my birthday.  This was my birthday party.

The theater is in a town about an hour away.  We came in two cars, from two different directions, and met there.  Brenda and I were worried that the other three might not make it in time.  They were expected by 7:30, but it was 7:50 before they arrived, having not paid attention to the directions.   But we got into our seats before the eight o'clock curtain time.

There were five of us together, three daughters and one granddaughter. Most of the rest of them have not seen very much musical theater, so I thought this would be a treat.  The setting of this play is the 1930's,  so it was kind of old-fashioned, a classic, and maybe even a bit corny.  But it was funny, and there was lots of energetic singing and dancing, which I especially enjoy, and even a couple of tap dance numbers.  I do hope they enjoyed it. I'm sure they did.

Anything Goes is also playing on Broadway right now, and youngest daughter recently saw it there.  She lives near the city, and somehow manages to enjoy the city life with its endless possibilities.  I don't understand exactly how that happened, since she grew up in a very isolated, very small town.   Now she is definitely urban.

The rest of us are all very much country girls!
