Legally Fun!

Oh hello!  I feel like I haven't blogged in a month but it's only been a week!  I have been quite a busy woman and I didn't get a chance to share some of my fun with you until today.
Last Saturday I went to see my childhood friend Jonathan Rayson in the Broadway tour of "Legally Blonde The Musical"!   I was accompanied by my lovely mama, aunt and friend Michele.   We couldn't get the boys to come with.  I guess it was just too girlie for them!

It was so exciting to see my old friend Jonathan Rayson perform for his hometown crowd!  I wasn't able to take a lot of photos because cameras weren't allowed past a certain point.  I also borrowed a small compact camera that I wasn't so great at working.  Can we say "focus"??   Can't seem to get the gist of holding the button down for a moment.  Oh well!

My dad and Jonathan's dad used to play in a band together from before we were born.  He was one of my favorite childhood friends to spend time with.  We'd hang out together and laugh til we rolled on the floor and have tears in our eyes.  He really has been the only person that has made me ever laugh that hard and it touched my heart several years back when he said the same thing about me.  ME? Yeah me! I still wonder what was soooo funny way back when!  Them were the days! 


The cast for the Saturday matinee

Yay Jonathan! 

I cannot stop singing some of the songs in the show!  The song OMG You Guys was running through my brain over and over.  I normally do not like to say "OMG" but it sure was a catchy song.   Everyone did a stellar job and I was amazed at all the singing and dancing.  The cast is in tremendous shape.  There's a jump roping scene that had everyones jaw hanging down because it was simply inspiring to say the least.  Jonathan sang beautifully with Rhiannon Hansen.  Great harmonies. I got to meet Rhiannon briefly after the show when we all gathered down to give kudos to Jonathan for his great performance.   She was nice enough to let me get her autograph.  I got Jonanthan's as well.  I even got to pet Frankie AKA "Bruiser"  when he was being walked by the handler out back.

Below are some of Elle's outfits in the show - lots and lots of PINK!

The tour is coming through the midwest so I hope some of you can catch it!  I believe Jonathan will be playing the role of Emmett in Indianapolis while DB is on vacation.  It's been a long tour and I hope to someday get to visit J in NYC when it's all over with! 
You won't be disappointed!
