Shrek The Musical

I have written before about the live shows we attend at a local arts theater.

On Saturday the cast at The Algonquin Theater performed 

- Shrek The Musical -

We had tickets for the 2 p.m show on Saturday.

We like these matinees, it's a lot easier for the hubs to stay awake.

The show was magnificent.

Pictures were not allowed during the show but they were allowed during the curtain call.

After the show we went for pizza and it was drizzling. 

When we got to the restaurant, no rain...when we left after we finished eating, no rain.

As we were walking to the car, I said, "WoW we really lucked out with the rain".

The minute I got those words out of my mouth it really came down in buckets...

we got soaked running to the car.

I mention this part of the evening because a lot of rain and big storms were forecasted for Saturday.

It was fun, we did not have any "pina coladas", but it was fun just the same.

When we got home, the skies really opened up and we had torrential rain.

I was so happy to be home, I enjoy a good storm more when I am home and cozy!

Asbury Park Color and Light Festival

 "Welcome The World - Special World Cup Edition"

of the color and light festival in digital art and projection mapping. 

Right on the boardwalk of the historic seaside town of Asbury Park, NJ.

 The facade of this iconic boardwalk architecture 

was transformed into a tapestry of light, sound, and creativity.

This was amazing.

It was a rotating, 15 minute show...much of it with direct correlation to the seaside town.

It was really wonderful!

Would I go again...that is a big fat "no".

It was so crowded and it took us a least 30 minutes to find a parking space.

Spaces opened up as we circled around, but luck was not on our side.

It is disappointing when you live here, less than 30 minutes away, and can't enjoy these special festivals.

There were no provisions made for handicapped people, I used my chair and found people to be very rude.

I never say that...but it is true.

Of course the hubs helped me, and one woman who really tried to clear the way 

and put on the flashlight on her phone to light the boardwalk.

Sad there were not better provisions for those who need it.

Thank you Asbury Park, the show was creative, colorful and vibrant...

and the background music was very well done.

There are a lot more picture...I will share them in a few days.
