Ready for Wicked?

Leila and I had our first musical theater adventure last Sunday. We invited Emily and Henry to join us for "Busy Town", based on the Richard Scarry books I still love as a 34 year old, at Imagination Stage in Bethesda. The outing was more of a success than I imagined it could be. Leila sat silent perched at the edge of her seat and turned back to smile at me periodically. I think Emily and I were just amused by how over the top prissy/whiny the actor playing Huckle cat was and we exchanged many eyerolls throughout. But for a kids' production, it was fun. I'd much rather go to shows like this that draw on the imagination and classic books than something like Doodlebops Live....
