The first was Thriller Live, a recounting of the Michael Jackson story, beginning with the early days of The Jackson Five and continuing throughout his life. The songs were great, the voices all outstanding, and the dancing wonderful. The theater was rockin'!
The second was Matilda the Musical. We were lucky to get tickets as we had heard it was completely sold out. But we happened by the box office one day and asked, and lo and behold . . .
Matilda the Musical is based on the children's book about the tormented yet gifted child of that name. The play has been wildly successful during its London appearance, sweeping all the British theater awards and has been hailed as one of the best musicals of the decade. It will be opening in New York in the spring and touring afterwards.
The production was wonderful and the story enchanting. We highly encourage you to find your way to Matilda. You'll discover a world of imagination and wonder, the human spirit triumphing over oppression.
You'll love it, no matter your age. It'll make you laugh and cry and you'll head home with renewed hope.
