My parents graciously gave each of us kids (Aaron and Billie, Wade and me, Dani and Mark) tickets to see “White Christmas” at the Orpheum this year. To the Madsen fam, this is no ordinary concert, seeing as my parents raised us on musicals from the 40’s and 50’s. When we were kids, dad would rent not only a few movies, but the VCR too. Yep, I said rent a VCR. “Singing in the Rain”, “My Fair Lady”, “Oklahoma”, “Anne of Green Gables.” Okay, the last one isn’t a musical, and I believe it was filmed in the ‘80s but it still counts as an oldie but goodie. It was a great movie childhood- very full of music and culture.
Needless to say, when the number “Sisters” came on stage, Dani and I just couldn’t help ourselves, we had to look at each other and squeeze each other’s hand. We were often like fire and ice as kids, but this song always seemed to bring us together. As long as I got to be Judy. Hahahaha, Dani!!
It was great to share this experience with my family- and the new guy in Dani’s life, particularly because he actually loves oldies too- and has seen “White Christmas” numerous times. I think that sealed the deal. He is in.
Here are a few pics, and yes, I really am that tall. With the help of my fancy shmancy boots that is. You can’t keep this girl out of heels no matter how tall it makes her;)
