It was date night last night and what a date it was! Brad took me to Jersey Boys! We had both seen it in Chicago but loved it so much we thought why not give the Australian cast a shot. They did not disappoint! Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons....what a story, what a show.
I met Brad downtown after work so we could grab pre-show drinks and dinner. There is this new bar that opened up that him and his work buddies LOVE. It is very secret and only the cool kids know about it. When he turned me down back alleys, took me down fire escape stairs that were dirty and started pushing open a big heavy door I was thinking to myself I was about to end up a missing girlfriend story. Just kidding, no I didn't. Maybe the thought crossed my mind for like, .5 seconds
Yea, so anyway. Brad pushes this big heavy door and it was like entering a different time zone. This bar was awesome. Dark lighting, candle fixtures on the walls letting off a romantic and mysterious glow, old pictures, bartenders with mustaches and bow ties, walls of whiskey. bowls of pretzels.....Baxters Inn my official favorite bar in Sydney.
After we each had a whiskey on the rocks we headed over to a Chinese place across from the theater for some dim sum and stir fried veggies. I feel bad for any place Brad and I ever eat dim sum again. After that gem of a place we found in Melbourne our standards and expectations are pretty dang high.
Our timing was impeccable we sat down in our seats right as the curtain was going up. The music started, the dancing was picking up, the costumes were sparkling and I was thinking to myself why the hell am I sitting in this dang seat I should be up there!! Only if those voice lessons would have worked out and I stuck with the tap dancing...maybe then I would have made it as a star.
I tried telling Brad at intermission over a glass of wine I was born to be on that stage. I think he might of thought I was kidding. I do have a resume started for it. Cinderella in 4th grade, a ditsy daughter in Music Man in 8th grade....I should have no problem locking down a role in no time.
Aside from being called to the stage it was the perfect date night. What more could a girl ask for? Thanks Brad for a wonderful theater night in Sydney Australia!
