I
watched a Broadway musical stage, Trip of Love.
It
was a lot of fun.
The
stage was filled with dance, and music of 60’s. Trippiness, hippies, flowers, and duty in Vietnam.
I
noted two points of what I felt.
The
first is that senior people, like my parents would love this stage. If it were
possible, I would love to invite my parents and watch the musical together. If
you have elder parents, I recommend inviting them to watch the show with you. It
will be a precious gift for them.
The
musical reminds my nostalgic memories of my childhood. My parents were playing vinyl records, and I was listening the music.
A newspaper said about Japanese economic growth, campus activism, and Cold war,
but I didn’t understand anything. (I think I was three or four). I just felt something
strange about the difference between colorful jolly music and fuzzy news for future
society. My mom and pa were still young; they were young at the moment than
myself now. The future already became my past. The room I was in at that time
no longer exists. Only memories of that beautiful music I listened to with my parents
were the same on the stage.
The
second is gay people would love this stage. There are many half-naked beautiful
actors on the stage. I loved them too. It was a cheery, lively, merry, merry, groovy, and gay musical. You’ll
love this!
Donne Figgins’ songs were impressive.
I looked for her after the stage to ask her sign on my Play Bill, but I
couldn’t find her.
