Jellicle cats

There's always an option for our family. Specially when it's their birthday. I'm not sure if you've read it in my blog that we rarely (almost never) give gifts on our kid's birthday. Instead, we give them options on how or when or where they would like to spend it.

So for my daughter's 15th birthday, she wanted to watch the musical "the Cats."

 

 

A good choice. Why? Not only because she wanted to celebrate her birthday by watching this spectacular show but also because  she gave an opportunity for his little brother and sister to to watch a musical play in a big theater. (It's both their first time.)

I was excited for them actually. I've seen plays and musicals alike when I was younger and it is quite an experience. I'm hoping that they will feel the same as they grow up knowing they were lucky to have seen performances like this and that.

Another good thing about this experience is that during the intermission (or what the English people call as interval), you can have your photo taken with the actor that played "Old Deuteronomy." A once in a lifetime experience indeed.

My kids were very delighted about the show. The two little ones were really enthusiastic about seeing another musical. My youngest even asked me to bought a CD because she liked the song so much that as soon as we get out of the theater, she's already singing excerpts of songs that she heard.

  
 It's like hitting two birds with one stone. Our eldest daughter celebrated her birthday the way she wanted to celebrate it. And our two younger ones were able to see a musical play for the first time in their life and they all love it. And my husband and I were both happy for all of them.

But of course, like any other birthday, we clearly celebrate it once again as a family.
