I dreamed a dream in times gone by

Tonight I have a girl date!!

One of my very good friends Lauren and I decided to get season tickets to Broadway Across America this year because the season line up was just too good to pass up. Don't take my word, see for yourself:

1. Beauty & The Beast - was so good! I first saw this in 95 or 96 when it was first touring.
2. Les Miserables
3. Catch Me If You Can
4. Jersey Boys
5. Sister Act
6. Wicked - cannot wait to see again! I think this is my third time seeing Wicked

Probably the best line up in years, since about 04-05 when I moved to Houston. I remember my sister and I had season tickets the first year I was living with her and going to University of Houston. I don't remember the line up from that year though. I think Wicked was in there. And some odd Disney thing, Off the Record. Unfortunately I didn't keep my stubs from that time period. Now I keep stubs -- I even have a stub shadow box for them!

I have everything I need! My ticket, my free drink ticket, my fancy outfit... although after texting Lauren to find out what she's wearing and what our plan for tonight is, I may need to drive home and change into jeans and a nice top and then get back downtown so I'm not standing next to her and making her look under-dressed. We'll see. I also have my reusable, theater approved wine cup. That's their name for it, or something similar to that. I call it my wine sippy cup.

It's new this season. I bought it at the last show. It has a twist lid to close the opening so you can get a glass of wine during intermission, or before the show, and if you don't finish it, pour it into the cup and twist the lid and you can bring it into the theater! Boom! Wine sippy cup. What could be better?
