Evil Dead The Musical!

Posted on by

Saturday was a GREAT night!

It started with a good dinner with a great friend and ended with “Evil Dead The Musical”, actually it ended with the best pepsi ever but Evil Dead was definitely the highlight.

We went for sushi first and really ate A LOT, it was soooo good also had a few glasses of wine and really good conversation. She told me one story that made me laugh and I’m still laughing about it. (Can I tell your story? It really is funny!)

Then it was off to the Pumphouse Theatre for “Evil Dead The Musical”!

I’d seen it before but my friend had not. We were pretty excited until it turns out that I bought tickets for the wrong day. Oooops! Yes my muddled brain had purchased the wrong date, although I am doing way better than I was back in March I still find my brain lacks attention to detail and I still get muddled. Not sure if thats me or the medication but the end result is we don’t have tickets. Oh No!

Back to the box office where they have two tickets that somebody is trying to sell! YAY!

Oh wait there is a couple who is celebrating their anniversary and they want the tickets because they have tickets but they aren’t seated together. Hmmmmm. Okay lets up the karma and we’ll take the two tickets (at a discount) that aren’t together so the couple can sit together.

The musical is hilarious, the songs are fun, the plot actually does follow the Evil Dead story. Even though not sitting together we really enjoyed it. How can you not with songs like “WTF Was That?” and “Do The Necronomicon”. I totally recommend going if you haven’t seen it! Also if you want to up your enjoyment you can sit in the splatter zone. Yep, you can get splattered with blood during the show. It’s pretty funny and the people in the splatter zone seemed to really enjoy it but do get a plastic bag to put anything you don’t want to get blood on.

My friend was one row behind the splatter zone, where they nicely offered ponchos to anybody sitting there. She was glad she got one as some splatter did drift into her zone. Later a message on facebook said “That blood is a bitch to get out from under your nails”. Yeah that looks good. We laughed all the way to the car and in the car ride home.

Part way home all I wanted was a Pepsi (just a Pepsi) …………. and so we had to stop. I rarely drink pop of any kind but at that moment in life I would have killed for a Pepsi. Best Pepsi ever and a great way to end the night!

Sushi, Evil Dead and Pepsi with great company = GREAT SATURDAY!

Cats!

On Saturday I went to see Cats. It was good, I really enjoyed it.

What made it really great was I went with my wonderful friend (Hey, coffee soon!) and her two wonderful daughters. I don’t get the chance to see her daughters a lot but I do enjoy hearing about them. It can be hard to figure out how to have a connection to your friends children. I don’t want to be their friend but they’re Mom is an important person in my life and therefore they are important to me as well and I would at least like them to know who I am.

I started sending them postcards when I travel because kids love postcards. They went to Hawaii earlier this year and they in turn sent me a postcard. It’s something that’s really easy to do and gives us a connection without being intrusive.

Going to see Cats was a surprise for them, their Mom hadn’t told them where they were going only that they were meeting up with me. Passing a sign for Cats, they’re Mom asked “Would you like to see that?” They both responded “Yes!” That’s when they’re Mom said “Good because that’s where we’re going!”

It was great to see them in person. We all went to dinner first and the girls were wonderful. Having fun, doing the puzzle on the children’s menu and playing with little animals that came with their drinks. It was a lovely dinner and then we headed to the theatre.

The show is over two hours with the intermission and the girls were completely engaged the whole time. One may have found her calling she was completely in awe of the performers. Leaving they collected some of the silver confetti that had fallen over the theatre at the end of the show. A reminder of how easy it is to make a young girl happy. Confetti never fails. Clutching the programs and smiling they talked about the show. I’m so glad that I went with them and maybe we’ll end up at another show together in the future.

It’s another connection to them and now I can be that lady who sends them postcards and went to Cats with them. Which is all good with me.
