Yesterday, I was truly excited to go see a Broadway show. I hadn't seen one since The Phantom of the Opera in Toronto, many years ago.
I grew up watching All In The Family. I remember loving Sally Struthers' long blond hair. I use to watch the show nightly with my Mom. So, I was really excited to get dressed up to head to the Fox Theatre with my husband and his Aunt.
As you can tell from the video above the show was excellent. Sally Struthers surprised me by having such a good voice. She was also extremely funny. She was perfect for the role of a busy body matchmaker.
My favorite scene was her sitting at a kitchen table and stuffing her face with food. The food was flying out of her mouth each time she spoke. It was hilarious.
The cast and the costumes were excellent. They worked together like a well oiled machine. I'm always looking for a mess up, but the show was flawless.
A few times the spot light would go off of the character, they would have to freeze and stay still while another scene was being acted out. They amazed me by staying absolutely still. Sally Struthers held two fingers perfectly still for at least 3 minutes without even moving.
Who hasn't heard the wonderful tunes from Hello Dolly? I remember singing Hello, Dolly! in choir. Check out some Hello, Dolly! tunes on Amazon.
Would I recommend this show? Yes! It was nice having an evening out without bad language and inappropriate content. It was very refreshing!
