Run, Don’t Walk to the Landmark Theatre

The COLOR PURPLE is now on my list of FAVORITE THINGS. Last night my DD Christi, her friend, Jennifer, Catherine and I went to the Landmark Theatre to see The Color Purple. Catherine even wore purple!
Ready to see The Color Purple
Before the show we ate at the new Mexican Restaurant (beside Hancocks) – wish I could think of the name of it – it was FANTASTIC…made me feel like I was home in California eating at one of the many fine Mexican restaurants there……the name of the restaurant was ???? AZUL…….Catherine will make a comment later and tell us the name so you can go there if you are ever in Midlothian, VA! 🙂 I had the spinach and mushroom stuffed chimis……oh I highly recommend that too!
Jennifer and Christi at dinner
Here is my daughter Christi *whose REAL NAME IS JENNIFER and her friend Jennifer…..both born in the same year too!!! It was funny though because both Jennifer’s couldn’t help their eyes from going straight to the CHILDREN’S MENU….hey mothers do not get out alone often enough….LOL.
And I can’t post a blog without a close up of another of Catherine’s artwork – look at this necklace….WOW!
Catherine's PURPLE necklace
Bathroom wall
I just had to post a picture of the tile on the bathroom wall at the Landmark Theatre. A quilter is always looking for new patterns!!! The entire threatre is magnanimous……elaborate, ornate, a feast for the eyes.
If you live near Richmond, do make an effort to see the Color Purple. You will not be disappointed. The entire production was beyond my wildest expectations. The singing was outstanding….the choreography was some of the BEST I have EVER SEEN – the costumes were breathtaking……..it was really wonderful and the musical elicited EVERY EMOTION known to womankind! JUST FABULOUS! I couldn’t stop thinking about it all day today!
Oh my gawsh, oh my gawsh, oh my gawsh, I am simply nutty over theatre but The Color Purple was sooooooooooooo moving, soooooooooo powerful, sooooooooooooooooooo inspirational, it just drew you in and you didn’t want to leave the characters and their messages behind at night’s end………………… It was truly a wonderful experience, shared with special friends, icing for sure. And the restaurant is El Cerro Azul, the second location for the family as WE are ever so fortunate to have the original right here in Powhatan and you will LOVE their attentive service and yummy food offerings, it’s one of my faves fer’ sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
