Jesus Christ, Superstar was being performed by the Countryside Community group, at the North Scott High School auditorium. I invited my friend Lorna to join me and Lilly.
It will be a nice Sunday afternoon activity...great idea, right?
 |
| Lilly and I are always up for a play, and we were delighted Lorna could join us... |
 |
| However -- the weather did not cooperate...oh, well... |
 |
| I ACTUALLY HAD an umbrella in the car!! |
 |
| We arrived -- and the auditorium was packed! A good sign, eh? |
Hey -- not every activity is a winner.
Sometimes, if I slog through it anyway, there is a payoff at the end...or a lesson....or an idea. If it makes me think, or see things in a different way -- I tell myself it was worthwhile.
But -- well, I dunno...on this day -- it was a downhill ride. Lorna was uncomfortable with the Mary Magdelaine loving Jesus part of the play...and Lilly started asking questions about the little plastic bags of drugs...

| Lillian took this picture as I leaned over to Lorna and said, "sometimes, if we're not enjoying the play, Lilly and I leave during the intermission..." |
Lorna said, "Do I get a vote?"
Jesus Christ Superstar is a musical you either love or hate. Definitely no in between. I actually love it. It's one of my favorites. However, I've seen the original 1970s film version and a few national touring productions. It really isn't a musical for a child. Sorry your experience wasn't the best.
