Nothing like a chick flick before play practice to bond with your castmate...

Brooke and I decided to go to the bargain matinee showing of Mamma Mia! and we tried to invite the other girls from the musical, but it ended up being just the two of us. Savannah couldn't go for some reason; Keeny was in Iowa City; Brooke O was unreachable; and Courtney was working.

It was fun and Brooke and I were the only ones in the theatre that were under 40. I could watch it over and over and never get tired of it. I'm still unsure of what Brooke thought of Meryl Streep's singing, but I personally thought she did a good job. I didn't know Pierce Brosnan could sing; ditto for Colin Firth. I did recall Christine Baranski singing in Chicago! so I knew she would do a good job in Mamma Mia!

After the movie, we went downtown because we had time to spare. After spending about thirty minutes just walking around downtown and checking out a couple of the shops, we had to go pick up Lauren (newest cast member and Savannah's friend) for practice. We then stopped at a Kum & Go and picked up water and snacks, and headed for rehearsal.

It was fun going to the movies with Brooke and she even caught a funny part (at least funny to us since it sort of has to do with Lucky Stiff). And I'll leave that for another post, because it's almost time for play practice. ;)
