Schoolhouse Rock Live! Review »
Of course, now that I mentioned that we hadn't been to see a show for a while, we see a couple of them in a relatively short period of time. After Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz left us feeling less wicked and more blah, we decided we needed something a little more peppy. A few years back - in fact, just after I moved to Charlotte - I had gone uptown to see the traveling version of Schoolhouse Rock Live!. It just so happens that Denise had asked me about it, since she noticed that it was being put on by the Children's Theatre, so we decided to go see it.
There is a bit of a disconnect here. Though the Children's Theatre did the show, and though it was hosted at the Imaginon uptown (a nice venue), we actually went for the 21-and-up event (their first), because it was the only weekend event that still had tickets available. So we saw the adult version put on by the Children's Theatre. Really it just mean one reference to a quaalude and some beer and wine served at the show. Other than that it wasn't too bad, and I have to assume that everything else was pretty much the same. The show itself wasn't as good as I remember the Off-Broadway cast, but it was still quite enjoyable.
