Saturday afternoon Sweetie and dropped SuperPizzaBoy off at a friends house and we went downtown to see the musical “Little House on the Prairie.” Beforehand SPB asked me what it was. I told him that it was that show where at night everybody goes “Goodnight John Boy”, “Goodnight Grampa.” Sweetie just laughed at me. “That was the Waltons!” Oh, ok I thought it was the same thing. So I got laughed at again. Some people just don’t respect their elders, especially when they are married to them.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
People, would say, Oh, yeah, Melissa Gilbert is in it, wow! And I would say, yeah, she is, I’m really looking forward to seeing her. I had no idea who she is. Sweetie tells me that that she’s the little girl who would run down the hill on the television show to Little Joe from Bonanza, except he wasn’t Little Joe anymore, he was the little girl’s Dad. I’ll tell you what, Bonanza was a great show. How come we don’t have a Bonanza Musical? What’s up? All these Gen X types whining around about us Boomers hogging all the jobs and money. Well, hey you got a Little House on the Praire Musical. We have nothing. Personally I think Bonanza, F Troop, Gunsmoke, Johnny Quest, Combat, 12 O’Clock High, Love American Style, and I Dream of Jeannie would all make great musicals. I’ll tell you what it is. It’s a plot by Barack Obama and Sarah Palin to hip chuck us Boomers right of out of American culture. Glenn Beck talked about it last night. So you know its true<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That reminds me. You know Sarah Palin is from Alaska right. Do you know that we bought Alaska from the Russians? Yeah, its true. Has anybody checked to make sure that our check cleared? If it didn’t that means that Sarah Palin is a Russian! She may be a secret communist. Have your ever known a Russian that wasn’t communist? I have never seen a copy of the cancelled check. Have you? You think that is a coincidence don’t you? Don’t be such a dupe. Remember how she used to brag about how close Russia was to Alaska and how she gained all that great Foreign Policy experience. That is because Alaska is Russia? Prove it is not. Wake up America before its too late!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Uh, sorry, I got a little carried away. Anyway, Melissa Gilbert doesn’t play the little girl any more, she plays the Mom and does a good job of it. What I really liked was the choreography. Not only of the dance scenes but how the cast moved across the stage adjusting the set as the scenes changed. That was very cool. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The musical is well done. It’s not flashy but it is well done and interesting. I give it 3 stars out of 4!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
