Walking into the Auditorium Theater for the first time is special.
Gold everywhere.
Velvet seats.
Wooden floors that have been walked on with fancy shoes for many years.
It smells old. But good.
The looks on the kids' faces was priceless.
Everyone looked so nice with their fancy duds on! Girls wore dresses and pretty coats and some of the boys even wore suits! Mr. E brought the boys in 105 ties to wear.
The dancers showed us Acts II and III of the ballet. They were even nice enough to come out after the show and answer questions for us. Yumelia Garcia and Mauro Villanueva danced the parts of Cinderella and Prince Charming. They greeted us in their practice clothes and big puffy down slippers. We also got to meet Willy Shives, who plays one of the stepsisters. We found out that "she" was actually a man dancing that role. The stepsisters were funny and looked pretty goofy in their outfits.
After a not so fast ride home, we returned to eat lunch and talk about our adventures in the Big City.
