Fiddler On The Roof

I really love going to see live theater. I was able to go see a production of "Phantom of the Opera," not too long ago at a local high school. It was excellent and the talent, costuming and over all production were outstanding.

Last night I went to see a production done by a junior high in Spanish Fork. One of my granddaughters was in the play, so I wanted to go see her sing, and took two other granddaughters, Aislyn and Ella. They loved it.




The production was called a "Jr." play. It was a abbreviated version of it. They did a good job, the main character was played by a young man, perhaps about fourteen. He really held the audience and sang his part.

We had second row seats. The music was recorded so it was by a great orchestra that accompanied the singing. The group sang and the recorded music was their background. There was great acoustics for the music to sound so well.

I remember my maternal grandmother taking us kids to the movies and to live theater. I really appreciate that now and still have fond memories of riding the "EL" to go to downtown Chicago with her. She didn't have a car but we took the bus and the EL.

What is so crazy that I remember about riding the Elevated transportation was how we would be going along the curves and buildings and it would look like we were going to crash into a corner and the train would swerve the opposite direction.

I have seen in some movies of riding the EL and coming to the same twists and turns that looked exactly of how it did when I was young, in Chicago.
