Over the weekend, I had the unique opportunity to take my daughter to see the American Ballet Theatre in their beautiful production of The Sleeping Beauty at Segerstrom Center for the Arts.
Since the arts aren’t as prevalent in schools, I feel it is important to let my children experience theater, ballet and more.
With my daughter studying to be a Prima Ballerina, I was thrilled to hear that the American Ballet Theatre will be returning to Segerstrom Center. They will be premiering an all new production of the classic ballet – The Sleeping Beauty March 3 – 8.
The American Ballet’s return to Orange County from March 3 – 8 marks the company’s 23rd visit to the Center. Pacific Symphony will perform the beloved score by Tchaikovsky. Sets and costumes are by Tony Award®-winning designer Richard Hudson.
Did you know that the classic movie, Dirty Dancing is now on stage at Segerstrom Hall? I just had to take my mom while she was here visiting earlier this week – especially since it is one of our favorite movies!
Just like in the movie, Dirty Dancing On Stage starts off in the summer of 1963 when Babe and her family take a vacation to New York’s Catskill Mountains with her family. Bored of the regular activities going on at the resort, she wanders into the employees quarters and discovers a whole new world of drama, parties and fun. As she gets to know a few of the employees, she ends up volunteering as Johnny’s dance partner for an upcoming show.
For all you 80’s fans like me, who are in love with the now “classics”, one of my absolute favorite movies is coming to Segerstrom Hall from February 3 – 15, 2015. Be sure to get your tickets to the Orange County premiere of DIRTY DANCING – THE CLASSIC STORY ON STAGE.
DIRTY DANCING – THE CLASSIC STORY ON STAGE is an unprecedented live experience, exploding with heart-pounding music featuring songs like “Hungry Eyes,” “Hey Baby,” “Do You Love Me?” and the heart-stopping “(I’ve Had) the Time of My Life.” It will certainly be a night to remember as audiences relive this classic move.
I’m back!!! Did you miss me? I decided to take a Winter Break for myself and step away from the computer. It was a much needed vacation until we all fell ill. I was particularly excited and overjoyed that I spent Christmas in bed with the flu. Thankfully my hubby took over and prepared an amazing day for all of us. Once we finally were back amongst the healthy, it was time for fun! For the holidays, my mother-in-law requested one thing – Kinky Boots. I thought she was going a little mad – since when was she “Kinky” and where and I’m going to get these “Kinky Boots”. That was, until I heard that Kinky Boots was an amazing performance at Segerstrom Center for the Arts.
Thanks to our friends at Segerstrom Center, we got to enjoy the show opening night, but you can still get tickets through January 11th if you act fast!
It’s time to start planning another girls night. For the holidays, my mother in law requested a chance to see KINKY BOOTS. Lucky for us, KINKY BOOTS will open at Segerstrom Center for the Arts December 30, 2014 – January 11, 2015.
KINKY BOOTS, the smash-hit musical that brings together four-time Tony Award®-winner Harvey Fierstein (book) and Grammy® Award-winning rock icon Cyndi Lauper (Tony Award-winner for Best Score for KINKY BOOTS).
A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to introduce my daughter to a true treat: her first ballet – Mikhailovsky Ballet: The Flames of Paris St. Petersberg, Russia when they toured through Southern California at Segerstrom Center.
As a dance mom, I’ve really enjoyed watching my little budding ballerina learn her technique and improve week to week. Giving her the opportunity to experience the magic of dance and ballet in the theater as a true fan of the art was just amazing.
Act now to get your kids tickets to see the stage play of Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas when it premiers in Orange County December 10th – 14th at Segerstrom Center.
Families will find their hearts growing a few sizes along with the Grinch’s when they experience the magic of the beloved tale on stage, which features the hit songs “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas” (written by Albert Hague and Dr. Seuss), from the original animated television special. Max the Dog narrates as the mean and scheming Grinch, whose heart is “two sizes too small,” decides to steal Christmas away from the lovable Whos.
As a dance mom, I’ve really enjoyed watching my little budding ballerina learn her technique and improve week to week. However, I haven’t had the opportunity to take her to her first official ballet until now. Mikhailovsky Ballet: The Flames of Paris will be at Segerstrom Hall November 28 – 30, 2014.
The Mikhailovsky Ballet from St. Petersburg, Russia will make its West Coast debut opening Segerstrom Center’s 2014 – 2015 International Dance Series performing The Flames of Paris, a work rarely seen in a full production.
This week, since my Mom was in town from Las Vegas, I decided to take her out on a Mom/Daughter girls night out with Pippin at Segerstrom Center for opening night.
Pippin has finally returned to Broadway since it was live on stage 40 years ago. It is the story of a young prince who is on a journey to find some meaning in his life. When he comes to a cross road, he must choose between a simple, happy life or a life with 15 minutes of fame.
Next week, I’m jazzed that my mom will be in town. Since she moved to Las Vegas a couple of years ago, we don’t get many girlie nights together. So, with her in town, I’m planning on surprising her with a night out at Segerstrom Hall for the opening of PIPPIN on November 11th.
