Tuacahn: Aida

Dave and I snuck off to a show at Tuacahn last night. This show was fantastic. I didn't know too much about the story line, except that it was a romance....and I have an incredible husband that likes to go to these with me. The costumes were my favorite, along with the singing....ok I love musicals... A great show!
We are going to take Emi and Kade and Dot up to see Annie next week.

Elton John and Tim Rice's AIDA is a contemporary musical take on the grand classic tale of the love between a soldier and an enslaved princess—a love that condemns them both to death, but ultimately transcends the vast cultural differences between their two warring nations, heralding an unprecedented time of peace and prosperity.

As Radames, captain of the Egyptian guard, returns from a successful war campaign, he gives a slave, Aida, as a gift to his fiancé, the princess Amneris. Unknown to the soldier, Aida is actually the princess of Nubia , and her presence in the Egyptian court allows Radames to fall in love with her. The ensuing love triangle ultimately forces all him and both princesses to make difficult, irreversible choices.

This Grammy Award and three-time Tony Award winning musical boasts passionate characters, stirring ballads, thrilling pop-rock music, lively dancing, and exotic costumes in what will surely be an event for all to enjoy.
