A Pleasant Surprise

I have a very long list of why my dad is such an amazing person...well, a mental one, but still. This is the most recent example. Yesterday he called me down and said to get my home work done because tomorrow we'd be going to see West Side Story.

"I thought you didn't like West Side Story."

"Cal, that is not the right response."

"Yes Mom, sorry."

I was caught off guard. Anyways, while me and my dad both have some issues with the movie version, West Side Story as a stage show was incredible. The set was amazing, especially for when they were rumbling under the highway. The cast, especially the female leads, was great.

While I have some issues with over-choreographed musical violence I think the choreography in the show for the actual dance numbers was fantastic. There were a lot of fun and up-beat numbers, which always seem to stick with me a lot more. Maybe it's because they make me wish I knew how to dance.

All in all I enjoyed this show a lot more than I thought I would. I'm glad I got the chance to see it. And it was great to finally get to go to a show with just me and my dad.

And now I should probably get back to work. That's the problem with planning stuff during a normal, two-day weekend. You just want to be lazy but you don't always get the chance.
