Hadestown {Weekending}

We had a fun time this weekend heading into town to see the musical Hadestown.  This show was originally supposed to happen sometime in 2021.  Then it was bumped back to January 2022.  Grace was really excited about this since she would be home at that time and wanted to see it.  Well, that round of covid that came at the beginning of the year shut it down, and it was rescheduled for fall 2022.  Finally! 

We arrived at the Hobby Center early to enjoy lunch at the theater restaurant.  

The weather was so beautiful!

Michael had pasta with an old fashioned.

I had lobster mac'n'cheese.  I definitely had the winning pick from the menu.

Here's a summary of the plot:  Winner of 8 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Hadestown intertwines to mythological stories - Orpheus and Eurydice with King Hades and his wife Persephone. 

We both loved the music - jazzy/bluesy with a band on stage.  It was a fun show, and then we raced home to watch the LSU game (recorded.)

Other than the theater show, we had a very quiet weekend...empty nester time on the patio enjoying the fall weather.  We watched the series Becoming Elizabeth, and started The White Queen.  Apparently we are on a British historical drama kick.  We're watching these with the $1.99 Starz Amazon Channel I picked up for a few months.  They might have more of these video specials for Prime Days - check to see if you find something good!
