Date Night

Ryan and I had such a wonderful date night. Back in January we bought tickets to Rent on Broadway. Two of the original cast members, Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal, were on tour. What an honor it was to have the chance to watch tonight's production. Thirteen years after it was first performed on Broadway in New York we watched Rent on Broadway in Denver! We had such a wonderful time. The audience was ecstatic from beginning to end. On the news this afternoon, before leaving the house, we saw an interview our local channel had with Rapp and Pascal. The news caster was talking about how loud the crowd was at Tuesday nights opening production. There was the expected range of emotions, from joy to appreciation, love, and sadness and tears.

I failed to put the SD card in the camera, so unfortunately we only have a couple of pictures from the internal memory. We did take a picture on my phone. It turned out, but is a bit grainy. I do wish we had been able to take more.

Before Rent I made reservations at Osteria Marco. It was a chance for me to surprise Ryan and show him how much I love him and appreciate how hard he is working toward getting a job. He knew we were going to dinner, but didn't know where. I was introduced to Osteria Marco a few months ago by some friends, during the campaign. It's an elegant Italian restaurant in Larimer Square, a mere four blocks from the Buell Theatre. If you haven't been there yet, I highly recommend it.

Enjoy the attached pictures and know you're all in our thoughts. We excited and expect an equally impressive production of Wicked in the fall.
