Spontaneous Broadway!

I almost completely forgot to write about this! On Wednesday night of this week, we attended a show at the Opera House called Spontaneous Broadway! It was an impromptu show that, like most, took suggestions from the audience before the show, filtered through the suggestions, and took the top five. For the first part of the show, they took these top five and "set they stage" for five different musicals, performing one song from each of these musicals. After the faux intermission (the show was only 70 minutes long), the audience voted for which musical they would like to see further developed in the second half of the show.

Now, Yazi, April, Laura, Brian, and I all threw suggestions into the box. Yazi, having quite the difficult name to read and pronounce correctly (her real name is Yosmeriz, pronounced like "Rosemary", but with a Y, so it reads "Yosemary") decided to put "Monica" as her name. And of course, her suggestion was one of the ones picked! Laura, also being a lucky dog, not only had her suggestion of "No Upfront Fees, Tonight Only" picked, but was the suggestion the audience picked to be further developed into a musical called "Underground"! This was pretty neat, and awfully fun for us.

Overall, it was a pretty hilarious show given the fact that it was impromptu. We had a great time, and it was definitely worth the money. I would still like to see a opera in the Opera House, but alas, budgets exist and there are things I'd rather spend money on. Like skydiving.
