Riverdance!!! The Extravaganza!!

For those of you wondering what this particular post means. . . . Scratch your heads no longer!! It means that I saw Riverdance. . . .Live! *sigh* If I was of a materialistic mindset I would take this opportunity to tell you that I can die happy, but I'm not so there's no real need to say that. . .


Anywayz, it was amazing and I spent the entire time watching them dance with the stupidest goofy grin on my face. . . .I think I can count the number of time that I blinked on one hand. . . Which is kind of pathetic when you think about it, but hey, whatever this is me after all.

I just thought I'd take the time to at least mention all the wonder that was the show that I saw. (and yes, I actually DID see it. Geez, if I hadn't then I wouldn't be able to blog about it now would I?? . . .) *unbeliever* ;-p

The costumes were amazing. . .Truth be told I wouldn't mind actually owning some of them. Of course I would need to *cough* change them a wee bit before I could wear them. . . Seeing as how my feminine sensibilities of modesty would hamper my walking around outside of the sanctity of my bedroom. lol. But hey, beggars can't be choosers. . .(somehow seeing that spelled out on the screen leaves me thinking that it's got to be wrong in some way shape or form. . .But spell check attests to its validity as a correctly spelled word so I shall have to turn a blind eye and pretend that it doesn't bother me. . . .which it does. greatly.)

The music was really close to the cd. Though the musical cast, as well as the dancing cast, was smaller than what one would expect, seeing as how it wasn't actually on broadway in New York. But I still liked it. The vocalists were wonderful and I admit to being enraptured. At least for the hour and some that I was listening and watching it all...

The main gal for the whole show was talented. No. Let me amend that. She was disgustingly, amazingly talented. There that should start to do her justice. Now on a side note, I am currently studying ballet, and it's not easy. Let me repeat that. Ballet. Is. Not. Easy! So for her to be able to dance across the stage, doing ballet no less, and make it look like she's gliding across the floor. Or floating on air. Or that ballet is effortless. . . . Man, I'm gonna be dancing till I'm 80 and I still wont be able to dance like that. . . *pouts* but I'm not jealous. (she's like twice my age, and she's been dancing longer than I've been alive) And I'm talented in other areas. But I'm not jealous of her. So stop suggesting it already! ;-p Yeesh!


All in all I'd have to say that it was an incredible experience and I loved every minute of it. To even be able to see it was an amazing blessing.
