Musical : You are Special!

9 November 2007No Comment

Went with Anya to see the Musical Drama “You are Special” today (a few of my friends went with their kids too!).

I’ve always liked such musical performances, but after seeing Anya’s reactions during the show today, I think this particular story and theme is still a bit too ‘big’ for her to fully appreciate. Perhaps she’d enjoy it more when she’s closer to … five?

She sometimes wriggled and blankly looked at the stage. She sat on my lap and at times she asked to move back to her seat. Basically she’s quite okay, but since the whole thing was in English, she did ask LOTS of questions throughout the show.

Why are they dancing. Why is that man sad. Why did they laugh. Why are there trees on stage. What is that man saying. Why are they all holding boxes. Why are the lights off. Why is the curtain closed.

And so throughout the show, I softly whispered and explained to her what’s happening on stage (and added my own little interpretation of what the story’s trying to say).

Anyway. It was a nice two-some time for both of us!

And I sure hope Anya learned too that she’s indeed very special in the eyes of her CREATOR.

PS: Wilson took half-day off from work and looked after Vai nearby while we went for the show. How nice.
