We made a quick trip down to Broadway in the Desert this year with Mark. We left at noon on Friday, saw the show Friday night, and drove home Saturday after a little shopping in the St. George outlet stores. We went to see the regional premiere of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” and it was GREAT! The theater installed a water curtain for the show and all the underwater scenes utilized the curtain, they flooded the stage, there was lots of aerial work done in the underwater scenes to give the illusion of swimming, and it was all really cool. The costumes were really awesome and the wheelie shoes for the sea people made them glide along the stage. The talent was excellent, as always, and we saw some familiar faces; overall, it was a great production. We took Mark on the backstage tour before the show because the last time we went with Brian, Mark was on his mission. It’s fun to see the costumes and sets behind the theater. We also learned that the tunnel underneath the stage was expanded this year to go forward to the front edge of the stage and two trap doors were installed so that Ariel and others could come up right in the front and people could disappear down. Those were cool effects.

I haven’t been very good at tagging in the past, but I went through old posts and tagged each year’s Tuacahn post so now we can see all our adventures in one search! Whoopee!
