Sometimes, I hate going to Broadway musicals. Not because I think they will suck. But because I sit there and think about how I should have been a performer. And today was no different. I went to see Billy Elliott. I laughed. I cried. It was WAY better than Cats.
I enjoyed it so much that I want to take tap dancing lessons. I went with a bunch of folks and ended up not sitting next to Mike. He said that he felt bad because he knew I would be very emotional about the fact that the story was about a boy being held back from performing. I still blame my mother to this day.
I suggest you all go see it. It isn't cheap. But I think it is worth it. Trent Kowalik was great as Billy. But the highlight of the show, for me, was him and her. Later.

Try not to blame your mom too much. We try and fall short. We do the best we can but, sometimes, we are so different than our sproglets that, despite our good intentions, we fail. We try to protect you from things that might hurt you, and if we are not fearles people ourselves, we think anything unconventional, that doesn't fit into the "norm" will hurt you. And everyone's thinking about what the "norm" is, is different. If you ever have a child, and I think you would be a great dad, you will understand. Mothers get judged harshly.
