The ARK

For those of you who do not know me....I LOVE Noah's Ark. I don't know why? I love animals I guess. Anyway. Years ago I heard about the play The Ark. It was being performed at Thanksgiving Point in Utah. So we went to see it, Doran and I, along with my mom and dad, and I can't remember who else. I LOVED IT!!!!! I bought the CD after that.

For years I have been trying to find it again. But it was not playing here anymore. They took it back East for Off Broadway. For our anniversary last year I was going to see where it was playing and GO!!! But no such luck. I called and they said that it was no longer playing ANYWHERE. I was crushed!!!! But then we were reading the paper a couple of weeks ago and I skimmed across something talking about the play being back here. I didn't have time to get the details and would read it when I got back home. I forgot and we got rid of the paper. I googled it last week and FOUND IT!!!! It was playing only this week (well last week). I called and got tickets and we went on Saturday. HAPPY DAY FOR ME!!!! Uh huh, ya ya. Doin' the happy dance. My blurry pictures must have been because I was still doing the happy dance or the ice cream before the play.

Inside the ARK. Notice in the upper left hand side there were drums and piano and guitars set up. That was fun seeing the music being played. They did a great job!!

We took one picture right before this where Stan really was smiling but it was blurrier than this one. I guess he wasn't ready for this picture. Stan, mom, me and Doran.

Before we went to the play, we stopped and stocked up on treats. This is the inside of my bag. I got the Almond Joy and the Propel drink oh and my book to read before the show and during the break (I didn't get a chance to read it), Doran got the M&M's and mom and Stan got the rest. K. We are READY!!!!

Then we got there and right as you walk in we saw this. OH.....MY.....HECK!!! What? It was a big sign too. Well, you couldn't tell because when we walked in it seemed like EVERYONE had some kind of drink and treats, OUT IN THE OPEN......HELLO...... Don't you just hate it when people don't follow the rules??? So we ate mom's. Ah ha ha ha. AND Stan even went out at 'half-time' and got a couple of Snickers. But we didn't take our candy out of my bag. Does that count?

Just getting ready to take a picture and they turned the lights out. We didn't know if this was even going to turn out. We look like a couple of happy scaredy cats.

Here is Noah and Eliza! Did I tell you I LOVED the music? Let me fill you in on a couple of things. When we watched this the first time, it had songs that the 'animals' sang. They changed clothes to look like some animals. I LOVED IT!!!! Since this went back to Off-Broadway it 'evolved' as they put it. They changed some of the songs (lyrics) to fit this play. I REALLY missed that!! AND they changed songs where different people sang different songs. It was an adjustment but I still loved it.

Here is Ham. He had a wonderful voice.

Eliza, Noah & Shem.

The END.

When can I go again????
