We already have our cold cuts, potato salad, bug spray, and Ukrop's deviled eggs ready for Dogwood Dell's "Little Shop of Horrors" tonight. The fact that we actually have a meal packed and ready- and did not just resort to driving through the KFC line in a panic to get to the show on time-proves that we're really excited and have been preparing for it.
But why are we so eager? Well, honestly, while in Europe, we had been missing the type of theatre we are accustomed to. A few quick examples of European theatre that we thought were pretty funny....
When we were walking down the street in Marais and saw this flyer on the wall of a falafel stand:
Really the only musical comedy adventure we can imagine our rabbi having is when dancing the hora causes him to spin out of control and kaplutz on the ground, after having thrown back too many glasses of Manischweitz wine. L'chaim!
Another pretty crazy experience was seeing this rendition of "Big Spender":
Those are three men in the center. Doesn't the one on the left sort of look like Bernie Telsey?
Eh, that was a stretch, but we had to make sure he was mentioned. On a more serious note, this picture is from the cabaret show, "Bobin'O." If you are ever in Paris, be sure to check it out. It is pretty amazing and absolutely NOTHING like anything we have here.
Finally, have you ever imagined what a black Voldemort wearing a gold, sparkling Saturday Night Fever disco suit would look like? Well, you'll have to go to "Bobin'O" to check it out, for that's who our host was. And let's just say that he-who-shall-not-be-named has some pipes on him. And can speak fluent French. And can walk wearing platform heels. And really freaked us out once we came to the realization that our host for the night was Voldemort.
We had an amazing time, but it feels good to be home. See you at Dogwood Dell! And no, we are not not giving you one of our deviled eggs.
