An evening at Jersey Boys

Went into Vancouver yesterday to go to Jersey Boys at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.  What a great show.  Dawn had received a phone call last week from someone associated with the production saying the seats we had ordered were determined to have poor sight lines, so they wanted to give us different seats.  We were a little apprehensive, but agreed, so they sent them to her email account.

When we got into the theatre, we were a little disappointed because they were in the 2nd row, but at least about in the middle of the stage.  She also brought the old tickets and when we saw where they were, we were quite happy to have these ones.  The old ones were in the same row, but way off to one side.  We would have had to look through part of the set (a spiral staircase) in order to see what the actors were doing.

We were close enough to see the sweat on their brows, the spit from their mouths while singing, and their facial features while acting and singing.  It was really great, and we ended up being quite happy.  All of us agreed that it was a great show and we were thoroughly entertained.  The songs were great, the story was great, and the acting was great.  We highly recommend the show.

Here is a link to the YouTube videos on Jersey Boys.

We head back into Vancouver this afternoon for the BC - Toronto football game.  It starts at 4:00, so I guess we will have to leave about noon.  Who knows how long it will take to get in.  It might be 1 hour or it might be 3 hours.  The construction on and around the Port Mann bridge is really holding up traffic.  It is getting close to being finished.  A couple of the east-bound lanes are supposed to open on the new bridge either tomorrow or on the 18th, so it should start to get interesting soon.  They have to tie in the roads, and need to close the east-bound lanes on the old bridge in order to do that.  The construction is amazing, and it will be an adventure the first few times driving over the bridge, but I' m looking forward to giving it a go.
