Thursday was our 43rd wedding anniversary and we celebrated with a day trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake to see their new musical, “Alice in Wonderland.” I’d give the musical a mixed review—the production was amazing with wonderful videography that served as a backdrop to each of the scenes. For me, the musical itself was too episodic, and the lead seemed poorly cast (a 40 year old actress as 10 year old Alice just wasn’t very convincing.) Nonetheless, I was happy to see the performance. When I purchased the tickets in April, I also purchased tickets for the backstage tour in the morning. We loved the tour, learned lots of interesting information about the musical, and the Shaw Festival as well as seeing behind-the-scenes. So this week’s SNAP is four photos from the backstage tour.
Another thanks, to Helena, for hosting SNAP each week. I took photos for two collections in Niagara-on-the-Lake, so there’ll be another SNAP from this trip next week as well.
Ah Niagara On The Lake, such a beautiful spot to visit, a favourite of ours. Neat SNAP collection, I think a backstage tour would be SO much fun, especially where the costumes are kept.
Great set Karen. I love the backstage atmosphere, whether as a performer, crew member or indeed tourist. Great photo of the giant bobbins!
Back stage looks really interesting. I like the colourful thread. Alice is rather an odd story at the best of times but the actress for Alice does sound a little ancient.
Happy Anniversary!!! Sounds like it was a great day. Nice snaps of the backstage tour!
how exciting to see behind the scenes – I wish some of my local theaters would do this regularly – I love that wall of sewign thread in every colour
Happy Anniversary to the pair of you! An interesting and unusual collection for snap this week, particularly the thread. Well Done!
Happy Anniversary! That backstage tour looks wonderful. I love the bank of threads.
A belated Happy 43rd Anniversary! What a fun way to celebrate…thanks for sharing a bit of the tour with us. Backstage is always fun.
Cheers~
Congratulations on the anniversary! The backstage tour shots look intriguing, I’ve enjoyed hearing what Trilby sees when he’s backstage at the various theatres.
