My daughter and I caught The King and I at Resorts World this Friday.
Since I put off buying tickets for the last minute, we had really bad seats. They were so bad that it was better for us to watch on the LED screen than the stage. As such, we didn't appreciate all that the first half had to offer. We were so blessed that the ushers allowed us to move to better seats for the second half. That's when I realized how choice of seats makes such a big difference! So please avoid the seats from 1-10. They are too far left.
The show for me was nice too. Moniqiue Wilson and Leo Valdez did a great job. I was so proud to be Filipino. Having many children in the show caught my daughter's attention. As it was "real" theater versus the children's theater we used to watch, my daughter had to put more effort in getting into the story.
I know she enjoyed it because no matter how sleepy she was - show starts at 8pm which is almost bedtime for her - she really snapped to attention when the actors and actresses started to sing.
Catch it if you can!
For this evening, Ava was giddy with excitement as the theater was so big. She also enjoyed having my sister with us and no yaya. I guess it felt like a "big girls'" night out for her.
I'm so happy that more shows are coming to the Philippines and that we don't have to travel abroad to catch them. I still remember lining up at TKTS in New York to watch all the great shows or watching plays in London by myself. It's also so nice to find something my daughter and I both enjoy even at her young age.
