| I had a great seat! |
I went with some friends to see the show Memphis. It was soooo cool!! It is a musical that is set in the 1950's in Memphis, Tennessee. I really enjoyed it.
During the 1950's black and white people were kept separate. That was called segregation. It was interesting how in the musical the lead character is a white man who wants to show the world that everyone is equal and that black people sing great music! I tried singing once, but it ended up in a total disaster!! You don't want to know what happened after that. In the end the white man ends up becoming a radio DJ and spreads rock 'n' roll music to the world! It is a really fun show with great music. The friend I was with even knew some of the performers in the play!! I had a really wonderful time!
One of the most famous long-running shows on Broadway was performed at the Shubert Theatre from 1975-1990 for 6,137 performances--can you imagine that? It was called A Chorus Line. Other famous shows like Chicago, The Producers, Gypsy, and Spamalot also played there.

| Wow! Being on stage was AMAZING! Even if I did miss my mark. |
This is me on the stage of the Shubert theatre looking out into about 1600 seats!! I would like to give a special thanks to my friend James--for helping me up on the stage. It took a lot of effort to jump up all those steps!! I would also like to thank him for giving me permission, and taking the picture of me.
Quack report:
While on stage, I decided to test out my quack echo. My quack turned out really well because the acoustics in the theater were fantastic. But there was no echo because it is a theater and doesn't have parallel walls. Echos aren't something you want to hear when you're enjoying a musical so they build it that way on purpose.
Simon, I have a song for you:
ReplyDeleteOh Simon, you yellow piece of plastic shaped like a duck,
You fly all around the world,
But alas,
You don't come to CAS
And that make us sad indeed.
That was from my hit broadway show: Simon Comes To CAS
