The Wedding Singer

Charles and I spent our Valentine's evening at the Orpheum watching "The Wedding Singer". It was really good. A couple of songs and lines from the movie were in it, and there were so many humorous references to the Eighties! Of course, our luck held, and so for probably the first half or so of the first act, we laughed just as much at a woman on the end of our row as we did at the production. She was something else...she laughed LOUDLY at practically everything that was said, commented on everything she was seeing, and then left her seat to crouch down behind the section of seats in front of us, and while dialogue was being delivered, yelled out "Why don't you stop talking and start singing!" Thankfully, that was the last we heard from her...the guy she was with ushered her out after that latest outburst!
All of the actors did an amazing job, especially the impersonators...it was just like seeing Billy Idol, Tina Turner, and Cindy Lauper in person! Charles and I really enjoyed it, and if you have the opportuntity to see it, and especially if you are in the mood for some laughter, we would definitely recommend it!
Afterwards, we were treated to a Valentine's proposal on the stage of the Orpheum. "Robbie" told the lucky girl that she had won a raffle and to come onto the stage to collect her prize. The guy came up with her and "Robbie" asked if he had a speech. That was the guy's cue to take the mic and drop to one knee. After all the hype on the radio and internet, I was expecting a couple of minutes worth of proposal, but all we got was a "I love you...I want to grow old with you" (which was good, given that we had just seen The Wedding Singer) and a "Will you marry me?". I thought that since the guy had plenty of notice that he had been chosen, he would have done a better job, but we decided that he was probably nervous and did okay.
