The Scarlet Pimpernel

I have just seen the best play ever!!! It had a dear friend in it as the lead, he was fantastic. The acting was amazing and the cast was phenomenal. My friend, Mr. Johnson, was amazing; is acting was incredible, his obvious passion for the play was clear throughout the entire play. His dedication to the arts is what inspires me on a daily basis to keep going. That and the fairy dust he gave me to keep me alive, and it does. I don't know what I'd do with out it, I have kept it on my person at all times since the day he gave it to me. ( if you don't know what the fairy dust is already I'll tell you so you don't make the wrong assumption. It is like shiny pieces of silver confetti)

The one thing about the play I found kinda hinky was the two people playing the leads. In a former play they played father and daughter. INCEST OMGOSH. In Sweeney Todd last year she was Joanna and he was Sweeney.
I only noticed this after the first act. The first time I saw her come on stage i thought to my self "I know her from somewhere, I've herd her sing before, where do I know her?" Then at intermission i had an Epiphany (i just made a funny for those not who are not a thespian or who are and are a little slow) she played Joanna.

Speaking of Sweeney Todd I am sad to say that they will not be preforming it this year. I went to every showing the last two years and now I can't. But now that I have seen The Scarlet Pimpernel I might have a new play to go to but it costs $15.50 a ticket. I would like to go at least one more time so we will see where i go from here.
