Masquerade At The Moulin Rouge

Hurray for date night!

Last night, Julie and I went to Chico to see the show “Masquerade at the Moulin Rouge” at the Chico Cabaret. We met Julie’s cousin Ashley and her boyfriend Michael at Panama’s for drinks, then all four of us went over to the Cabaret.

We have been looking forward to this show for a while since it looked like a fun production, and it was highly recommended by a few people. The lights dimmed, and we was not disappointed. What a blast! Flashy, sexy costumes, crazy-fun song and dance numbers, and it was all accompanied by a house band (many of the productions are). Did I mention the sexy costumes?? You can tell the actors were having a ball and put everything they had into the show.

Ash and Michael had never been to the Chico Cabaret, and had a great time. Pretty much everyone we have taken with us have told us they have fallen in love with the shows. Ash said she absolutely wants to come back for the next shows with us. Great stuff!!

Today was a bit rough…I stayed up way to late, and drank just a bit too much, but it was worth it!

Date night: Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog

Tonight, Julie and I decided to see a play at the Blue Room Theater in Chico, California. The play was “Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”.

We left home and got to Chico in time to have a quick dinner (at Peeking Chinese…ho hum), and met two co-workers (Laura and Debra, and surprise guest Tracy) to see Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.

I had read about the play before, and it sounded interesting. It was recommended, and I checked it out online, although I didn’t watch more than a few minutes on YouTube because I wanted to be surprised.

Julie and I stopped at Panama’s Bar and Grill for the usual Long Island Iced Teas before the show, then headed over the the Blue Room.

What a great production! The actors were spot on to the original movie and Julie and I had a blast. The show ended somewhat abrupt and on a downer note, but it was still certainly worth going to.
