Carol and I subscribe to Broadway Across Canada. They bring productions to the stage at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre about three to four times a year. Cheryl and Dave decided to join this year. Due to a commitment they could not attend this performance so Cheryl gave me her ticket so I could take Lexi. I gave my ticket to Carol so she could take her granddaughter Quinn. This performance didn't disappoint! Maria and Captain von Trapp were superb. Mother Abbess's rendition of Climb Every Mountain was incredible! The children all have a lot of musical experience. Liesl has performed on Disney Cruise Lines, Friedrich was in Billy Elliott and Brigitta was in Annie and Les Miserables. The performance was awesome!
Jersey Boys and Motown are the next two productions. The CBC announced Tony winner Come From Away will come to Vancouver next year. If you don't know about this musical it's about the 7,000 passengers that were stranded in Gander, Newfoundland after the 9/11 attacks in New York. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships. I can't wait to see it.
