Well, here we sit at intermission looking at each other with confused looks. Both Natalie and I looked at each other and said, “I don’t get it.”  I guess there is some deep meaning that high-brow theater-goers get out of it but we seemed to be missing it.  It was mildly entertaining and there were a few engaging moments, but on the whole we didn’t think it was very compelling.

We did get lucky though and our ticket purchases were not a total waste… sitting right in front of us was a woman who just absolutely LOVED the performance.  She was VERY enthusiastic; whenever the audience applauded she almost jumped out of her seat as she pounded her hands together.  As the event was drawing to a close, and I got more and more excited to leave, the woman in front of us was just sobing; tears streaming down her face she litterally JUMPED out of her seat at the closing moment as if to say that she was responsible for the standing ovation that followed.  All I can say is, “wow.”  As we left I told Natalie, “Well, we got two shows for the price of one!”  That lady was the only thing that made the evening bearable!
