Got a hankerin’ for a ballet!?

Today, while chowin’ down on some Pancho’s, I read a review of Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol in the Flyer. The premise sounds like it could be fun, but the review makes it sound like it’s a rehash of the original. Anyway, I got to thinking about how long it has been since I saw a play and started thinking about the passed up opportunities. Now, I HATE musicals (Cartoons and Willy Wonka have a pass). All of the recent chances to go see plays were all musicals which is why I chose not to go. This also got me to thinking about going to see some ballets around Christmas when I was in elementary. I actually enjoyed them. I think I would still enjoy some of them today. I specifically remember watching The Nutcracker and being amazed at all of the stuff going on up on that stage and the music that filled the air. There were no words, just images and music notes.

Of course, I hop online to see if The Nutcracker is playing anywhere close… “I just might go see it”, I say to myself. Sure enough, there it is, but it’s only playing for 3 nights. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be able to make it. I’m a little leary of going to see the “Modern” Ballets so it may be a little while before I actually check one out.
