Hello World. I know it's been a while but I wanted to let you in on today's excitement. This afternoon I'm going to be heading into Toronto to see 2 very different and equally exciting show with my mother.
Every since I was a little kid, as in like grade 2 ish, my mother and I have been enjoying days out at the theater together. She introduced me to this world with a Stratford production of As you like it by William Shakespeare. Ever since we've been enjoying are escape days to go have a meal and see a show together. They are just a chance to relax and talk and laugh. These days are something I miss about living in Ottawa so far away from home.
The first show of the day we are seeing will be The Bodyguard. All I really know about this show is that it's a musical based off of movie. The second I know even less about, only that it's a play called the Audience So my expectations are only the ones that I have of Mirvish. That the show will be clean and polished, that the actors will be committed entirely to their roles and that the viewers will be silent, respectful and just as "professional" as the show. Shows in big theaters like the Royal Alex. and the Ed Mirvish theater expect their audiences to be dressed in fancy clothing and be just as committed to the show as the actors. They create an environment where the people seeing the show now have expectations of each other and that becomes just as much a part of the experience as the show they are watching.
Anyway Have a Wonderful day and I'll be back soon,
Elyse
