Tale As Old As Time, Beauty & The Beast

"Tale as old as time, true as it can be.
Barely even friends, then somebody bends unexpectedly. "
Beauty & the Beast, Mrs. Potts

It's here! Durham Performing Arts Center 's Opening Night of the On Broadway Musical "Beauty and the Beast," Live on Stage! Look at how amazing is the set! We were in awe. The colors were just this vivid and "sparkly!" as the Tigers say! :)



Our family on the red carpet!



You know we love the Orchestra Pit! Here is a shot I got of the Piano! Love this with the B&B music at the ready. The live music was truly a treat.



One of the orchestra members told us that he loved DPAC - "it's an outstanding center!" That's saying something coming from New York City!

Of course, it was at this point that I made sure he knew he must try "Sweet Tea" while in North Carolina! He was highly amused by this. And said, "I love it - get some sweet tea!" We represent! What can I say, he met a real Southern Belle! :)



The Durham Performing Arts Center in downtown Durham has done it again. This relatively new facility really attracts some class acts. The latest phenomenal hit is Beauty & The Beast. Get tickets now, it's in Durham for only a week! Beauty & The Beast was an incredible production. The entire family was absolutely enthralled with the entire show.

There were so many highlights in this performance, it is tough to tell what we liked best. Right from the start, we noticed the unbelievable colors on the costumes and the sets. It was mesmerizing!

The choreography was outstanding! We were very pleased with the level of skill of the performance. It was pretty magical all around!

The Tigers loved having the option to get a Hot Dog at Intermission. You know, two cute little boys dressed up in their brass button, navy blazers eating hot dogs at the theatre! "I love it!"

Boulder Mountain Man and I had Coffee and the DPAC Coffee (coming from someone who orders it every time) is a great blend! And they have real cream - you know the important things in life. Okay, there I go turning a nice night at the theatre into a food post... almost. Here are the TIgers enjoying the Hot Dog Intermission - with the City of Durham in the backdrop! Isn't it beautiful! Go Bulls!



Just for good measure, I want you to see the royal Welcome you receive at DPAC! ... See other children love DPAC too! :)



And Rachel the Assistant Director of Marketing and PR for DPAC...
