Last night I attended our school's rendition of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and found it very educational. I'd never seen the musical before, so I'm sure I have a pretty skewed view of the actual play. Not that I think that's a bad thing. I mean, among the seven brothers we had 2 Americans, 1 American/Austrian, 1 British/Austrian, 1 Nigerian, 1 Indian, and 1 Korean. And the lead actress is from Australia. It makes things kind of fun and different. You wouldn't see that happen on Broadway.
Also, a few years back we did a rendition of Oklahoma!, and it was amusing to have a Japanese Jud Frye.
Besides being entertaining, I found the musical to be very informative. I know all I need to know about picking up women now. Who needs to spend so much time "courting" anyway? As far as I'm concerned, all I need is a large blanket and a dinner bell and I'm all set to begin my life as a married man.
Also entertaining is getting the rumor mill rolling again. A girl from church came with me to the performance and so most of the school either thinks I'm married, engaged, dating, or some combination of those three. None of those things are true, mind you, and I think it's kind of funny how excited people seem to be about it. It's certainly fun to stir things up a little bit.
