I have to admit that I knew very little about this show, and hadn't seen the movie that spawned the musical. With Amp doing costumes, I had heard many disjointed bits playing on iPads and iPhones and iMacs as Amp listened for inspiration, but knew very little of the overall show.

I was very pleasantly surprised. The show was very entertaining, had a number of good songs, and our kids did a very good production (not surprisingly).

On the sadder side of things, this may well have been Julia's 8th and final show. She did Les Miserables (her [and my] all time favorite) in the spring of her freshman year, both shows in her sophomore, junior, and senior years, and now this in the fall of her "super senior" year. She would be eligible to participate in these shows as long as she is in the school, which in her case will be in the year in which she turns 21, but she seems to be reaching the point at which other things are taking precedence, and she may not want to commit the time for Evita in the spring, and the other shows to come in the next couple of years.
You never know what the future will bring, but if this is the finale, then it would be hard to ask for a better experience than Julia has had. And so the curtain falls.
