Phantom of the Opera

I'm drinking coffee in my new, cool Phantom of the Opera mug. It has a mask on it that turns white when you're drinking something hot.

My daughter, niece and I went to see it Friday night. It was girls night out and we met early for dinner and the show. What a great evening it turned out to be. Just like old times! Affectionately called "The Golden Girls" by my son-in-law, (more like the three stooges) we always have a fun time together and I probably act closer to their age than they mine. So what! It keeps me young.

The talent in Phantom of the Opera was exceptional! Not sure if a musical play is for me, though. There were times when I couldn't make out what they were saying. The last play I went to, some 20 (could have been 30) plus years ago, was Camelot, with Richard Harris. I loved that play! There was some singing in it but there was also a lot of talking. Phantom of the Opera was all singing.

As for getting all dressed up. I saw women there in jeans! Granted, no one was wearing peddle pushers, but I could have worn jeans...if I had a pair:)

Debbie (aka Tory)...Glad you had a good time and I know what you mean about forgetting the age thing...it's the best!

I would have worn jeans or athletic walking pants because I'm all about comfort. *grin*

Me too Nancy but the girls wouldn't let me wear my comfort clothes:)

I have always enjoyed the music from Phantom, but don't know if I'd like to see the show. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.

That's a cool cup. Was it expensive? Glad to hear you all had a wonderful time.

The music was great Linda and I wouldn't mind having the sound track. Just didn't realize the whole thing was a musical.

Tory Richards said...

Naw, wasn't all that expensive. Not like some of the other stuff they had there.

I love "The Phantom of the Opera"! I am so glad that you ladies went together and had a good time. The movie version of "Camelot" with Richard Harris made quite an impression on me when I was young and saw it in the theater. Very romantic!

The one with Vanessa Redgrave? I can't remember who played Lancelot but I recall he was handsome. Yes, I loved that version, too. Which is why I went to see it at the theatre when it came to town some years later. Seeing Richard Harris was a bonus:)
