THE OPENING NIGHT PARTY!!!!

Last night I went to the opening night party for "Out of The Box". Ive never been to an opening night before and I was very excited! Very VERY excited actually!
The first thing I did was get my face painted by a lovely lady dressed like a clown. She painted two rainbows on my cheeks. 

It was very crowded and after a while we got a bit hungry so we lined up and got some yummy burgers. When we were eating, we saw some Aboriginal dancers wearing traditional costumes. There were little kids dancing as well as adults which I really liked. After they danced, a lady called Christine Johnston came onto the stage and sang some very interesting songs. Some of the songs were really bird  calls and they were pretty funny! I especially liked the Bower bird call! 
She also had some kids on stage with her playing musical instruments and there was an egg that hatched off stage and a little chick  (who was really a cute little toddler !) came out of the egg. I think that was probably a trick though because i dont think they could have really had a baby in the egg for that long!
After that we went up to the Lyric Theatre to see the final Dress rehearsal of "The Flying Orchestra" I got a cushion from the cloak room so I could see a little better.
I thought the show was more than brilliant! I was really wondering how they could make the aeroplane fly up in the sky on stage, it looked really real. The musicians were fantastic and very funny and the puppets were excellent. I really liked it when they threw the huge balls into the audience. Mummy loved how they showed a baby being born just with shadows and puppets. At the end of the show I walked down the front  to get a better look at the stage. I wanted to climb up onto the stage but Mummy wouldnt let me!!

 I loved seeing my first show of the festival, it was meant to be a rehearsal but I definitely didn't see them make any mistakes!I was very tired when I got home, but my dreams were full of pictures from the whole night. Today at kindy I took a copy of the book of "The Flying Orchestra" and my teacher read it to everyone and I got to tell them about the show. I cant wait till tomorrow because instead of going to kindy im going to see "Me and My Shadow " and the show about the Chinese Zodiac. Stella has to stay with Nona tomorrow but she is going to get to see the Dinosaurs with me on friday and also 3 shows on saturday so she's not going to miss out!
