Fancy Nancy: The Musical

Yesterday Gavin and I took a trip downtown to see "Fancy Nancy: The Musical" with my friend Gina and her kids, Claire and Ethan. All the kids love the Fancy Nancy stories! It was at the Apollo Theatre in Lincoln Park, which was a nice, small venue where all the seats were good.

Waiting for the show to start:

Here is the view from our seats - it was great, and we were in the last row (which Gavin loved):

I took this during the show. The actress who played Nancy was perfect!

We found street parking on Wrightwood Ave (props to Gina for parallel parking her minivan on a Lincoln Park street WITH snow piles) and walked a few blocks to the theatre. We passed many of the typical city apartments with two upper levels and a garden apartment - and the kids thought this concept was FASCINATING. They were like "Look! A door! Down there! Where does it lead to?"

LOL!! Funny how we don't realize those little differences about the city and suburbs until they are right in front of us. The El rumbling over our heads was another novelty. :)
