Put Your Trust in What You Most Believe In

Over the weekend Jordan and I met my parent in St. George so we could see Tarzan at the Tuacahn theater.  We drove down Friday afternoon and I was worried that we weren't going to have enough time to get to our hotel, get the tickets (we got them through the hotel) and get over to the theater.

Luckily I'm a speed demon. 

We got to the hotel and the guy that checked us in informed us that whoever set up our reservation charged us too much, and said don't worry, I fixed it, then let us know that the difference that we saved was about $1.50.  I said "Oh good, we can afford to go to Denny's now." Which embarrassed Jordan, I'm good at embarrassing him.  He gave us a confirmation paper that we were to give to Will Call to redeem our tickets, and my mom called to say we were leaving in five minutes.  We hurried to drop our stuff at the room, and met my parents so we could ride to the amphitheater with them.

And I left my confirmation paper in the hotel room.

Luckily there was a nice lady at will call that just printed us up our tickets without our confirmation paper (so I'm thinking of pulling a scam this next weekend and seeing the show again) but she told me quite seriously that I needed to SHRED that piece of paper immediately, and destroy the information on it.  She was so adamant that we decided we had to go back to the hotel room and shred that paper, burn the shreds and pee in the ashes.

We had dinner at the theater, and then I was abducted by aliens.  There's no other explanation.  The doors opened at 7:00 to let people take their seats, and the show started at 8:00.  We let the massive crowd milling around the doors go ahead of us, because unlike them we realized that our seats were assigned per our ticket, and I think the other people lining up thought that their seats were going to be given away or something 'cause they were all in a rush to get in there.  So we took our seats at around 7:20, and then roughly five minutes later a guy came onto the stage and gave the welcome and introduction speech, and the show began to start.  I looked at my watch and it was 8:04.  So I lost about 40 minutes, I'm still confused by that.

The show was absolutely amazing, the way they did everything was really creative, there were apes swinging around on vines all over the place, and at the beginning where the ship was crashing they actually flooded the stage and it looked like they were on a raft in the ocean, which I thought was pretty rad.  Disney actually came and watched the show last week and were so impressed that they gave Tuacahn the rights to Little Mermaid next year.

The next morning we went to Denny's, since we saved all the money and everything, visited my mom's brother, did a little shopping and headed home.  It was a fun trip, although short, and it was nice to get away a little bit and just have some fun with my husband.  Here's to tricking him into thinking The Little Mermaid isn't a musical next year!
