Hannah and I went to see this musical at Gulf Coast awhile back. She had wanted to see it and got extra credit in one of her classes for going. (Like she really needed it, an A is an A no matter how many extra points one gets.) Anyway the musical was rated for people 17 years of age and up. Hannah's classmates gave her a terrible time about just being a baby and how she couldn't go. (All in good fun) Hannah did happen to just turn 17 before the show. We really enjoyed the version put on at Gulf Coast. I know they cleaned it up some from the original Broadway version.
The next one is a play my kids are very familiar with, Oklahoma. We have watched the movie many times. John and I were able to go see it years ago when the BCF put on the play. I did at one point get extremely sick of the songs. Nathan performed in the play at the Spanish Trail Playhouse a few years ago. He was told to listen to the music every day so he would be able to sing the songs. Needless to say him being the legalist listened to it every night. He would put it on continuous play at bedtime so I got to hear the songs all night long for what seemed like weeks on end.
This block was a lot of work. I had piles of the different colors all over the place. I was so glad to finish the sky because that meant I could at least put away 6 of the colors I was using. This one was a lot of work but well worth the time.
The final block I've recently made is from Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat. This is a fun musical. We have watched the movie version many times. A couple years back the Broadway tour came to Panama City and Hannah and I were able to go see it with a friend of hers. It was amazing.
The first time we let Nathan watch it, he went on and on about how Abraham and his sons would not have worn cowboy boots. Ever the legalist. Now he has accepted that it is not all exactly true to the time period and really enjoys the musical.
Now I must stop the Broadway quilt for the time being, so I can make Hannah's quilt and the list of things she wants for her dorm room. Hopefully, I will be able to get back to this quilt in a few weeks. I am only about half done with all the squares Hannah wants for the quilt.
