Live theater is one of our most favorite things to do on a date. Live musical theater is even better.

This is part of our 100 Things in 2017 challenge. Here’s the full list.

In the past we’ve been season ticket holders to the musical series at Keller Auditorium, but this year it didn’t work out. However, we’re fortunate enough to have friends who are members, and who sometimes can’t make it to their shows.

The show this time was Matilda, based on the beloved Roald Dahl book. They messed with the story a bit too much for Becky’s taste, but the cast was great, and the girl playing Matilda herself was just perfect. The choreography was really different from anything we’d seen before, and the sets and transitions were really well-done. We had a great time, and we hope our friends get super busy for a long time.
