Huntington WV

Right now we're on the bus to Toledo Ohio. After a 16 hour busride, we spent Tuesday and Wednesday nights in Huntington WV. Clare, our new tour manager, has her 13 month old son touring with us. I have never seen a baby more well behaved than Spencer! He hardly let out a peep during the whole trip. When he did it was usually baby babbling that made us all smile! The addition of Spencer makes us feel like even more of a family!

Last night the show was at the Keith Albee Theatre. It was absolutely amazing and probably one of my favorites. The theatre was built in 1928 originally housed vauldeville performances. With the decline of vaudeville in the 1930's, they began using the theatre as a cinema. In 2006 they turned the theatre into a performing arts theatre. Although it was renovated a few times, they kept the original character of the theatre. It is made of all plaster (to avoid a fire) and is just incredible! Check out the photos. The ceiling was especially gorgeous. It was painted like a sky and lit up with stars.

The show went very well, and the audience was great. All but the woman seated right in front of us parents. During the second act her head kept bobbing as she fell asleep!! John and I had a very difficult time containing our laughter. Once she let out a snore it was all over! Sue managed to keep her composure and even tried to get us to stop, but to no avail. The woman's head just kept bobbing and bobbing and we were laughing so hard I was crying!

A reception was held at a little nightclub next to theatre. The cast was invited to join some of the sponsors. Chinese was served along with drinks. We all had a nice time chatting and socializing.
