This is a belated post!
In March we went to Houston for Cupcake to receive her birthday present from Gigi and Papa...her first trip to the theater. Naturally our Annie lover would best be suited to see Annie first on the big stage so Gigi went to work scoring FABULOUS seats in Houston's Wortham Theater. It was a special afternoon for three generations: Gigi, Mom, and Cupcake.
Of course when going to see Annie...you should wear an Annie dress, right?! If we had a dollar for each person who told us how cute Cupcake was, we could have re-gained the cost of our tickets and had lunch after. It was a hit! Here's Annie with Gigi:
Also, when we first entered the theater people were clapping and cheering and creating a fuss. Here's the scene we saw:
Cupcake was sure they were clapping because the real live Daddy Warbucks was there. Yes, those are two bald men or Daddy Warbucks look alikes but NO...not the real one. They were in fact the secret service men for President George Bush Sr. and Barbara who were in the house for the show. I think it is pretty amazing that at age 3, on your first trip to the theater, you sit a few rows back from the former President.
During the show Cupcake did great. At one point it was very quiet and in anticipation for what was next Cupcake yelled out "Here comes It's a Hard Knock Life" everyone around us giggled. She also full on sang "Tomorrow" with the cast. I have a feeling this will be the first of many theater memories with my girls. Thanks Gigi for a wonderful afternoon!
