MONDAY MUSINGS:MUSICAL MEMORIES

MONDAY MUSINGS has me musing about  od'ing on musicals -savoring a couple from my past as a newlywed and new Mom. Fast forward to 2024 the present with friends at our local summer stock of Footloose  at the Arkansas Rep and at Argenta Contemporary Theatre with Grease  with very talented energetic actors.

Followed by the newest version of a current local musical comedy called Electile Dysfunction 2024 at the Joint in  Argenta where "a Little Rock family is very divided when it comes to the election, and when Spy Eye News covers their story, they become local celebrities.  laughs on both sides of the aisle. And it offers a third opinion -- an independent candidate who's ready to throw everybody out of Washington!"




We did laugh a lot as the three actors  performed multiple comic characters  playing multiple musical instruments and singing- the Fertle family with  Arkansas satire."



Then Saturday, I joined family to be enthralled with Broadway's Musical Play Come From Away,  the remarkable true story of 9/11 when  ~7000 passengers' plane travels were diverted to Canada's  Gander, New Foundland almost doubling their population.  Locals hosted the unexpected international guests and the best of humanity 'reared its beautiful head. '

Music and a good story does the body 'good' and after all this great entertainment this 70 year old's soul is content and looking forward to many more musical opportunities ... 

Thank you to Ginger, Sue, Laura and Terri for thinking of me!
