Last night Kitty and I got out of the house to go see a "Broadway" production of "Anastasia," the musical based on the 1997 Don Bluth animated movie. Kitty knew more about the songs than I did, but I really enjoyed the production. It has been years since I have seen the movie (even though Kitty popped in the DVD a few months ago.) I just thought it was too over-the-top with the villain being Rasputin with his banal anthropomorphic bat sidekick. Thankfully those characters were nowhere to be seen (although I would not complain about a bat fursuiter.) The production values were top notch. The singing was too. Hopefully this will also be the last time that masks will be required in the theater. Having so much of the state opening up to normality again is so refreshing. It seems like every time I strap that thing to my face any more is like a huge step backwards.
