Anything Goes

As I mentioned yesterday, my parents were here this past weekend!! You may have noticed me hash-tagging #perrellasvisitmemphis all weekend.. I figured their visit deserved it's own hash-tag. They don't get to Memphis as often as I would like (stupid Memphis airport) but when they are here, we definitely make the most of it. Between seeing a movie, a musical, eating at about five different restaurants, we had an exciting, not to mention filling, weekend. Can't wait for your next visit, Mom and Dad!! Next time, please don't bring the snow.

 

One thing we did that really stood out was seeing Anything Goes at The Orpheum. I don't think I will ever turn down an opportunity to see something at The Orpheum, it is always amazing. I had never seen this musical before I absolutely was not disappointed! I recognized a bunch of the songs, loved the tap dancing, and especially the cheesy jokes. Those are my favorite. 

PS. I know this isn't the best picture of me, this was right about the time I started feeling under the weather

    

Jersey Boys in Memphis

 

 

 

As a Jersey Girl, I was very excited when Jeremy told me he got us tickets to see Jersey Boys at the Orpheum, the gorgeous theater right in the heart of downtown Memphis. I had never seen this show before, but I'd heard so many good things about it. It tells the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons with, of course, lots of singing and dancing.

It was absolutely phenomenal! The New Jersey accents were spot on and I especially loved the subtle New Jersey references. 

andddd bonus.. our seats were toward the back of the orchestra section, well, during intermission, Jeremy ran into someone he knew anddd they happened to have two empty seats next to them. These seats were in the second row. We were literally in the orchestra pit (the actors played all the instruments so there was no orchestra). It was so much fun being so close!!

Anyway,s if you have the opportunity to see this show, you definitely should... seriously.

Have you ever seen this show? Do you have a favorite play or musical?

 

PS. Thanks, Angela for the tickets!!
