Auntie Mame Update (read yesterday's post first!)
Mame! at the Lancaster Opera House last night was wonderful!! It's been so long since I've seen that show/movie that I'd forgotten many parts of the story. But it all came rushing back to me. What a wonderful story! I think that I will temporarily change my favorite musical to Mame! (Of course, only temporarily ... because I really LOVE Into the Woods, but I'll get back to that eventually without a doubt!!) ANYWAY ... I can certainly see myself being like Auntie Mame to my own nephews ... and it was rather ironic that I saw the show the night before spending a day in Big Flats (that's in the Southern Tier of New York State, if you didn't already know that) with my nephews, Ian, Aaron, and Will. At the end of Mame!, she takes her rather young great-nephew to India, after some persuasive talk with his parents. Oh ... I can TOTALLY see ME doing that!! I'm already plotting to take Ian to Disney world the summer before he starts Kindergarden. LOL!!
Anyway ... after the show, we all (6 of us) came back to my mother's house to have cake and ice cream in honor of her best friend's birthday (which was actually yesterday). We had lots of fun conversation and laughs. As we talked about the show, we also went back to talking about the movies that have been made. I realized that I've never seen either the Rosalind Russell version NOR the Lucille Ball version ... which I just looked up on the Inernet Movie Data Base, and discovered that Bea Arthur plays Vera Charles, which must be absolutely perfect. Off to Blockbuster.........
