Magical Night at Matilda

I have been wanting to take Ella to Starlight for a few years but have never found the right time to do so.  When I heard that Matilda was going to be coming I decided I needed to make it happen.  Ella has not read the book but loved the movie and she is really enjoys musicals so I thought this would be perfect.  We invited my mom to come along and join in the experience with us, she loves shows at Starlight too.  We were really excited until a few days ahead of time when we began worrying about the weather.  The forecasts were calling for rain all evening, not what you want to see an outdoor show.  
The night of the show rain was still in the forecast so we packed our rain gear and hoped for the best.  We couldn't have hoped for anything better.  The ran held off until the end of the performance and then it was only a few sprinkles until we made it dry and safely to our car.  The cast and the show were great!  They kept us entertained and had some really enjoyable dance numbers.  Ella is definitely ready for another show at Starlight.

Excited to see the show with my girl.
