Curious George Live - January 16, 2010

When Jeff & I learned that Curious George Live was coming to Shea's in Buffalo, we KNEW we had to take Noah. Noah has never been to the theater before, so not only was he excited, but Jeff & I were, too. It was a cold, blustery day, & we had a little walk to get to Shea's. Noah kept asking us, "Where's George?"Curious George Live - it really was a fantastic musical production! We had excellent seats: Row D, so that Noah could see things really well.Not certain why he's smiling like this - but here he is - waiting for it to start:Chef Pisghetti was teaching George how to make meatballs, so George could compete in the "Golden Meatball Contest." Jeff & I were both impressed with how well the show was true to the PBS cartoon.The "bad guy" who was mass-producing square-meatballs.Intermission. Noah kept asking to go back out to the lobby --we had spent some time out there prior to the show starting. I understand his awe, Shea's is absolutely beautiful. During the Golden Meatball Contest -And Curious George WON! (sorry if any of you blog-readers are going to see this & I just ruined the ending!) The Man with the Yellow Hat was so proud of George!And confetti went FLYING.Noah LOVED it. He sat still the entire hour & a half.Leaving Shea's...Noah was also excited that we got to see the subway-train going through downtown Buffalo. Off we went to Noah's first "real" restaurant (aside from Ted's or McDonald's) - we ate at Friendly's. Again, the fun continued as he was tickled to order a vanilla milkshake with a grilled cheese sandwich & fries for lunch. Then, we took Noah back to Jeff's parents to meet up with Norah...and Noah was fast asleep. What an awesome outing! When Noah woke up from his nap, he told Ra-ra & Papa J. all about George!

How fun, Joel and I thought about taking Aves to this before Colbie comes.

It really was GREAT - we were quite surprised. It's a full musical production. If Aves like Curious George at all - she'll LOVE it.
