Fifty-one years ago, yesterday, Claire and I went on our first official date — we went to see Blood, Sweat and Tears in a bordering state (Maryland.) Yesterday, Claire and I attended Newsies, a musical in a bordering state (Virginia.)
The performance we attended was in Leesburg and was a Disney production of the Tony Award-winning musical Newsies — based on the 1992 musical film Newsies, which was inspired by the real-life Newsboys Strike of 1899 in New York City.
The production was very well done and well attended… all the actors were very talented. Of course we all know who the real star of the show was — Emily Gifford…. who, just happens to be our granddaughter. She did great!!! Wonder if she’ll get her own apartment when she moves on to broadway…..
