I was able to get cheap (and I mean cheap) tickets to this show. Sadly, it didn't do so well and it closed today. Unfortunately...I can see why it closed. The biggest issue is that I thought it wasn't written very well. It was acted great (it starred the opera diva Renee Fleming) and there were definitely some fun moments. But I sort of fell asleep in the first act. It picked back up in the second act though and ended on a high note.
Then, today, I decided to buy a ticket to go see a preview screening of I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story at the Museum of the Moving Image. The movie is a new documentary about the life of Caroll Spinney who originated and plays Big Bird on Sesame Street. The best part was Caroll and his wife were both there to do a Q&A session after the film. I had the best time! It was such an interesting documentary and then getting to hear Caroll and Debi Spinney talk about their lives was a lot of fun. Oscar the Grouch even paid a quick visit!
Here's the trailer for the movie. I definitely recommend watching it! And below are some pictures from the Q & A!
