Seussical Jr.

Today D and I went to watch a play called Seussical Jr.

WoW!!!

It was amazing! The play is about Dr. Seuss books but mainly focuses on Horton Hears a Who. I personally have not read Horton Hears A Who so I am not completely sure how true to the book the play is but nonetheless it was beyond how nice I think the book could be.

D loved it , of course! All the parents were also going on about how amazing the show is and how they think they are enjoying it even more than their kids are.

What I love about plays(theater shows) is that it uses so much more of your imagination. It takes you beyond where the television can and honestly brings to life a book in such a spectacular way.

We were all in the land of make believe….

Unfortunately we did have a small mishap due to the seating arrangement… here is what happened:
The children sat on the floor in front on a cushion near the stage while the parents sat at the back…. that was fine… until …

…the moment the show ended…

As all the parents stood up I could not see D anywhere. I could not move to get closer to him…

My heart started racing… where is my son? What is he wearing? “ummm….I’m the one that put his jacket on before the show but I cannot for the life of me remember what he was wearing…” (can you tell I started panicking?)

As I frantically searched around me it seems that he was allowed to exit the theater before me. Eventually I just had to start pushing and shoving my way through people in order to find him.

The theater is in a closed environment so realistically nothing could have happened to him, but that didn’t change the fact that he and I were freaking out for those 2-3 minutes where we both couldn’t see each other.

Although we had a small mishap at the end, that definitely doesn’t take away from the show. Anybody that lives in the Johannesburg area book your tickets to the show at the National Children’s Theater. You wont regret it, I promise! 🙂
