Way back in March, we went to see the Book of Mormon in Rochester. I had Todd take this photo in the parking lot since I didn't want to whip out a camera inside and I needed some type of photo, of course.
On the way, we had enough time to grab something quick, so I convince Todd to stop at Orbacker's, a Rudy's type place my DAD loved on 104. Fish wasn't bad, fries were good. Nice to share something with Todd I liked as a kid.
The show was very good, but seeing it on Broadway first wasn't really fair. If I hadn't, I would have raved about this show, but the Broadway one was so amazing, nothing could live up to it! It was fun to see it again...the music is amazing, but once you've seen the show with the performers who are on the actual album, it's a hard comparison. The only exception was the main female lead. She was INCREDIBLE...better than the one on Broadway and probably has a VERY long career in front of her.
It was funny to see some of the reactions of the older or more conservative patrons, particularly during intermission as a couple of the songs are offensive I think in a different way than people expect. They walk in expecting cursing, sexuality and jokes...not sure they expect everything they get!
And thank you Tammy for babysitting :) It was nice to have a date night and it really ended up being our last one as we didn't make it to Les Miserables in May. Hoping we can juggle it to make it back next year...love out nights out, love the theatre and love the shows.
