SHOW OFF

One year Mr. Right took me to see Sutton Foster perform her Tony Award winning role as Millie in Thoroughly Modern Millie on Broadway. (The Pirate has a mini crush on Millie- he asks to watch the on-line clip and he tells me "I luv her...dat girl.")

Say what you will about Awards, Broadway or Tony himself but it was an unforgettable performance.

Ms. Foster is now in Shrek the Musical as Fiona, but previous to that she was in the (five) Tony Award winning The Drowsy Chaperon.

The Princess is particularly fond of the song Show Off.

The leading lady sings about all the things she doesn't want to do anymore.

I don't wanna show off no more.
I don't wanna sing tunes no more.
I don't wanna ride moons no more.
I don't wanna show off.

She manages to go on and on and on and yes, show off.

This morning is the last day of our regular routine. Tomorrow we take our offspring and meager belongings and depart into the wilderness.

(We drive to Utah with a vanload of snacks and DVD's.)

So on this last day of chores and piano practice and making beds and going to school The Princess waltzed around the house gaily pointing at the dishwasher, the piano, her bed and other weeds in her mortal existence and sang,

"I'm not gonna do that no more." (Dishwasher)

"I'm not gonna touch that no more." (Piano)

"I'm not gonna make that no more." (Bed)

I just wanna be off.

One more day Princess. We leave tomorrow...

Tomorrow,

I love ya'

Tomorrow...

Actually, that's about my next post.
