They seek him here, they seek him there......




.....they seek him here, they seek him there. Them Frenchies seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven or is he in Hell, that damned elusive Pimpernel.

Last night I took the munches to see the Scarlet Pimpernel @ L.P.H. Connorack man did great. He caught on and I think he liked it. But Seingine was a grump and tried to pretend he didn't like even though I caught him laughing over Percy's effeminant ways. A fop he was indeed(Percy, that is). Seing kept begging to leave 'til I said "fine, let's go" and then he sang a different tune and wanted to stay! Go figure.


Anyway, the kids in the production did great. The costumes were astounding. This is definately a different generation. Those costumes were worth a lot of money no doubt. The lead who played Marguirite had an amazingly, theatre -trained voice, and there is no way she won't go somewhere with her voice. The lead who played Percy also had a well trained voice, but I think it is much harder to sing male parts. Those poor guys when they have to hit HIGH notes. So of course tonight we started watching Jane Seymours version of the Scarlet Pimpernel. Love that movie.
