Melodrama Madness

So there's a great live theatre group down here -- the Melodrama. The Great American Melodrama and Vaudeville, that is. Sawdust on the floor, and tiny tables crammed close together. You can buy food and drinks and sit and watch the show in style.



Grandpa scored us some tickets, so we got to see the show. It was awesome! Gold Fever is about the antics of the residents of a mining town and some outsiders intent on swindling their gold. We bought slices of cake and a pitcher of margaritas. Alas, I was mostly on my own with the pitcher, so by the end of the evening I was *stuffed*. It wasn't the alcohol that did me in, but the sheer quantity of food and drink I ended up consuming.

Afterwards there was a vaudeville revue wherein Snow White decided to become evil. So "bad guys" from all sorts of movies came and coached her in how to "switch sides". Dr. Evil, Ursula the Sea Witch, Catwoman, Captain Hook, the Riddler... Naturally they were all singing. Haley loved it :)
