As a child my favourite musical film was 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' - I used to play the album all the time - using one of those things called record players!<br />I wanted to ask you Saminda as a Christian, how you feel about some of the less family orientated musicals and particularly the themes, settings and provocative costumes. At my daughter's dance recital there was one very 'Chicago' style performance put on by older teen girls (not my daughter's class thankfully, I would not have allowed her to participate having seen the expected costume and the moves) this segment made my husband and I very uncomfortable. It was totally inappropriate for a family audience. My daughter told me that one of her friends taking part was relieved to change out of the costume and told my daughter that it made her feel like a ... well you can imagine.<br />If we lived nearer to you we would love to come and see you and the family perform. We have a theatre here but they tend not to cater for families. It is usually plays and drama with dubious themes and content. Let's hope that the new Mary Poppins ushers in a return to more wholesome theatre!Ann at eightacresofedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524581927752695509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475201918521869938.post-73085088833713655722010-05-31T05:50:49.113+10:002010-05-31T05:50:49.113+10:00Sounds like so much fun!
