A Favorite Quote

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way." Charles Dickens- A Tale of Two Cities

I got to see the Tale of Two Cities- the musical- this last week, and I really enjoyed it. The set was amazing to watch, as I've never seen a stage move that much throughout a performance. I was intrigued by it actually...
The songs will not go down in history as anything magical or wonderful. They simply move the story along, but are difficult to relate to personally. I would never seen this play simply for the music.

I do however, love the story. I first heard it in 6th grade, and read it again in 10th. It fascinates me...

And I am so glad I got to see it. I was disappointed that these famous words are not the way the play opens, as they represent an important time of my life (junior year) but I will forgive the writer.

At least he ended it well...

"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known."
