Sound Of Music Sing-A-Long

 Shawn and I have been wanting to take Leila to the Sound of Music Sing-A-Long at the 5th Avenue Theatre for several years now. This last fall, Shawn asked about buying tickets for the January event and I was all for it! Mike and Chris came too…quite a feat getting Chris to come too as he got his fill of this show when he worked at The Village Theatre. We had a wonderful time and are already making plans for next year! It was a blast! When you walk in the door, you receive a goody bag full of props that you will need during the show. For example, there was a sprig of edelweiss that you were supposed to hold up while singing along to that song. Shawn and I have seen this movie so many times in our lives (Shawn actually saw this movie at the 5th Avenue Theatre when it debuted…multiple times too), but there was something so magical for me to see it on the big screen. When Julie Andrews came on screen singing "The hills are alive with the sound of music..", Shawn and I both started crying. We were not the only ones! And, I just gotta mention, that Carrie Underwood has NOTHING on Julie!! Please! Anyway, the afternoon will be a special memory we will long remember. Leila has watched the movie probably 15 times in the last month and a half since the sing-a-long!
