We started the evening at a fancy Italian restaurant in Hollywood on Melrose. Ellie was very well behaved and are her dinner. It was fantastic. Not knowing timing with traffic on Friday nights we had a relatively early dinner and had some time before the show. So of course we found the nearest Yogurtland.
We made it to the Pantages about 20 minutes before the show. It was enough time to enjoy the lobby and find out seats. And then a quick trip to the bathroom.
In preparation for the show we had exposed Ellie to the soundtrack. She quickly learned the words and was singing along. Listening to the soundtrack also gave me a heads up that the lyrics and portions of the subplot of the show are different than the original movie.
Ellie was fantastic. She was so well behaved and engaged with the show. I did have to ask her not to sing out loud during the show, but that was it. She asked to see the orchestra pit. We also were able to get some snacks during intermission. Although the show started at 8:00pm, she stayed up and didn't fall asleep. She said she loves the dancing and singing. I'm sure she didn't follow the plot, but there was more than enough dancing to keep her excited.
We all had a blast. Ellie definitely had fun and can't wait for her next musical theatre show.
