We went to our last show of the Muny season last night; Beauty and the Beast. It's not the last show, just our last show. More on that later. Anyway, we have seen Beauty and the Beast before and it's really cute. In fact, I didn't remember how cute it really is. I mean, it's a "kid" show but there is adult humor too. Rob McClure played Lumiere and he also played the Baker in Into the Woods last week. I can't even imagine how hard it is to rehearse for a show while you're appearing in another! He also played Lord Farquaad in Shrek two seasons ago.
We ate at the Culver Pavillion again. This week, they had crab topped tilapia, bbq baby back ribs, toasted ravioli (invented right here in St. Louis) and various sides and salads. Oh, there was also pizza and chicken fingers for the younger crowd.
So, next week is the final week of the season, Oklahoma. Not one of our favorites. Yes, it's Rodgers and Hammerstein, yes it's a classic and yes, I like several of the songs such as, "Oklahoma", "Oh What a Beautiful Mornin'" and "Surrey With the Fringe on Top". I just remember that someone dies and there's a big long scene that sad. Oh, and there are cowboys. Ha. Anyway, we are giving the tickets to my sister, brother-in-law, niece, niece (or any combination thereof) or whoever wants to go. :)
