Here Comes the Fun!

My mom,  aunt-in-law (the wife of my mom's brother, also my godfather), and I recently attended a musical theatrical performance (more like a high quality concert production), "In My Life" starring a Beatles cover band called "Abbey Road Tribute":   http://www.inmylifetheplay.com/index.php?id=82

I really enjoyed the dancing to the fun and familiar tunes.  It is cool that the performers encouraged audience participation.  Those that seemed close to my grandparents' age (senior citizens) really got into the music that they grew up with.  It takes them to the "happier times" in their lives. 

During the intermission of the show.  I really do not want to take pictures, but my mom and Aunt Dia want keepsakes.

 Returning to our seats, after the intermission.   My Aunt Dia took this photo of me.  I feel "overdressed" in comparison to the majority of those in attendance.  My mom insisted that I "dress up" in a dress that my grandma purchased recently.  I might outgrow the clothes that I get from her sooner than I think.

 

 After the show, here we are at the lobby of the performing arts center.  By this time, the crowd left the building and just handful of people were hanging out at the lobby.   I begged my mom that we stay at the lobby and wait to meet the "Beatle Guys".   My mom did not believe that they would come out to meet fans after the show.   It was nearing 10:30 p.m  Then before we could think of leaving the building, guess what!  We looked to our right and like I told my mom, a group of fine guys (except for a few walking with them) seem to come out of nowhere (from some little hallway to the right of us as pictured) and walked past us.  I was very excited.  My mom and my aunt stood in disbelief.   The "Beatle Guys" quickly sat down behind one of the tables and started signing autographs for their eager fans.

 

Coming together with the members of "Abbey Road Tribute" for autographs and a photo opportunity.    My mom mentioned after observation, that the 4 gentlemen will only sign purchased items such as the sweatshirts and glossy photos from the table next to where they were seated.  My mom complimented them personally on their sensational performance. She prefers "Ringo" played by Axel.   To her, he seems to be the friendliest and the easiest to talk to. Axel is also a college and high-school teacher, whom my mom can relate to.  I also like Ringo.  He was the "cutest" up close and personal among the 4 and was funny during the little skits.  Aunt Dia has a crush on the guy that plays George Harrison.

I really wanted to shake the hands of these "cute guys", but I became frightened.  I insisted my mom that we have a picture taken with them/  Aunt Dia was able to ask some young lady to take our photos with the Abbey Road Tribute Band.  The quality of the two photos were not clear and focused as we had hoped for.

"In My Life" is so cool.  I stayed awake throughout the whole show. My favorite part was getting up and dancing to the fast music such as "Twist and Shout".   My mom said it was truly my first concert experience with live singing and instrument.  I did not think about my favorite group "One Direction" during the entire show. The "Beatle Guys" (Abbey Road Tribute) were fine.  Thank you, Mom, for constantly playing the Beatles in the car.  You brainwashed me with their catchy music.

I am proud to show off these current Beatles with their autographs, It was a fun day's night!
