L'Chaim--To Life!

We went on a date AGAIN, and it was even at night this time. We're moving up the scale, wouldn't you say? Bryce and I saw "Fiddler on the Roof" at the Nevada Conservatory Theater, which is the BIG theater and not the little one I've been to for the other plays.

It was AWESOME!!! The lead, Tevye, was played by an amazing actor named David Brummel.

David Brummel plays the role of Tevye in the NCT production. He has performed in the Broadway productions of Sweet Smell of Success, The Bells Are Ringing, Nine, Evita, Oklahoma!, Annie, and The Pajama Game. He has performed all over the world in productions of Evita and West Side Story, as well as national tours of Zorba, Death of a Salesman, Company, Chess, 42nd Street, Man of LaMancha and Nine. He has played numerous roles on All My Children, As the World Turns, Search for Tomorrow and Third Watch. He also has a recurring role as Judge Gus Stamos on Law & Order.

So if you watch Law & Order, maybe you'll recognize him, eh?

Anyway, the music was incredible and it was just all around awesome. (Did I already use that word?) All of the other parts were expertly done, but Tevye was just a stand-out. Bryce and I absolutely loved it. Afterward we talked for a long time to Rod and Delynne Knudson. Rod is in the new bishopric of the Newport ward as well as being Tyce's science teacher, and Delynne is Mary's sewing teacher. We were pleasantly surprised to see them there (as I hope they were us) because neither of us knew that the other also had season tickets. We're on different days though and just happened to meet up last night due to a scheduling conflict.

We had the best babysitter of all last night--Tyce! I made sure the twins didn't nap that day, and we put them to bed at 7 pm. Tyce and Mary were given pep talks to be good, followed by promises of ice cream for people who behaved. We came home to find them comatose in front of the TV. I think it's against the kid rules to actually ever go to bed.
