I had trouble navigating the parking payment kiosk. Had to enter my license plate number. I gave us a bit over an hour. We walked by a close museum. However we skipped it because they had a cover fee. The actual theater was closed during the day. We found the main entrance. Then we stopped by Jack in the Box on the way home to get lunch fast food to go.
I drove over to the niece's house and we headed down really early. Got there 2 hours before curtain open. Parked really close to the front doors of the theater. We walked to a nearby pizza place. The niece had to stop mid way to get the blood flowing in her legs. She also collected Pokemon using her app. We say at a table at the pizza joint. We both had Sprite to drink. Some random waitress topped us off with water. WTF?
Eventually we finished dinner and walked back to the theater. We went inside through metal detectors. Had to wait until 30 minutes before the show to enter the actual theater. We were in the upper orchestra section. It was elevated. I was surprised how far back we were from the stage. Was also surprised that there was a big live band playing along with the singers. And this show took us to Hadestown, where Orpheus had to travel to retrieve Eurydice.
In the musical. Hades has his wife Persephone for half the year. He has also talked Eurydice to join him down under. I was surprised that Hermes was our narrator. We knew this was a tragedy. However we still wanted to hear Orpheus with his musical skills charming everybody. After the show, we stayed in our seats until the crowd died down. So did a woman next to me who had taken off her red high heels. The drive home was surprisingly clear of most traffic jams.
