Early morning run
Write in morning
Brunch at 10am with a friend from hockey (she's not playing this year)
Quilting blank spaces for show quilt
Into city with mum for dinner (ramen) and show (Beauty & Beast)
Last time I saw B&B the musical, it was the late 90s, and the singer who played Belle was an actress whose voice was just a little too shrill for my liking.
I kind of hope they added Evermore to the song repertoire. I like the depth the addition of it gives to the story.

The last time I saw it, there was far more reliance on old stage tricks (mechanised, admittedly), a little smoke and mirrors, while this time there was a lot more visual media - projections on screen, lighting and obscuring, etc. Which...I understand. But I felt like it was a less enjoyable production.
Also: the story didn't really appeal to me as it did the last time I watched the show. I can't help seeing the issues in the timeline and the character "growth" over the arc of the story and...I had a slightly jaded little voice picking it apart.
I think it's safe to say it's not for me anymore. Which is fine. It was a good show, just not what I hoped for.
