Saturday Corwin, Charles, Jessie and I went to see the “Magic School Bus” live on stage. We got to sit on the first row of the balcony which the kids seemed to enjoy. During intermission we got snacks, and we succeeded in not dropping soda or popcorn on the poor folks below. Though there were a couple close calls.
The show was cute. There were lots of songs, which aren’t really a part of the books or the TV shows. But on stage you cannot shirk to microscopic proportions or change into water vapor, so they were kind of limited with what they could work with. Jessie really liked it. She got up and danced. Charles liked it too. He didn’t stand, but he sat on my lap and clapped and counted with his fingers. I think Corwin felt that he was too old for the kiddie show. He just slouched in his chair for most of the show, but afterwards he told Dad that he liked the show.
Next week… The Phantom Tollbooth.
