New York

We got tickets to see RENT on Broadway for Thea's 18th birthday. She was going to invite a friend but that didn't work out so my sister Joan filled in. We had a great time. I LOVED the show...wasn't sure that I would. Thea is a huge fan of the movie and has wanted to see it for some time. She loves going to visit my sister Beth in New York. She once said that Beth was the person she most admired. I think its because Beth is young, single, successful and "fashionable". Thea always begs to borrow her clothes! I can't complain. I like that Thea admires her. I admire her too. Anyhow, Thea has now seen 4 broadway shows and she is only 18! I didn't even go to New York until I was 30. There is definitely a benefit to having a sister live there! Mamma Mia was by far my favorite show. I have seen it twice and would love to see it again! It is a show that is centered around all the music from ABBA. You want to stand up and dance during the whole show! In fact, most people do, at the finale. Yes, I admit to dancing but it was dark enough that nobody noticed my sorry white boy moves. Anyhow, I would definitely recommend it for older kids/teens. Wicked is really good for kids too! Dave took us to see that in Philly last March. Enough rambling...

Last photo is of Thea with fake hair! FUNNY. She looked like Paris Hilton, only MUCH prettier!
