Batman Live

Batman Live was touring in Fort Wayne in early December.  Of course, we had to attend.  There were three showings:  two at about 7:30 on Tuesday and Wednesday (the 4th and 5th) and one at 3:30 on Wednesday.  Since it was in Fort Wayne and in the middle of the school week, we decided to both take a half-day and make it to the 3:30 showing.  Good choice on our part!  We still got home kinda late and it was a lot less crowded!  

If you're not familiar with the show (I wasn't!), it's a lot easier for you to investigate here.  Basically the show is a mix between a play, an illusion show, and a stunt show. 

We have more videos than pictures, but it takes forever for Blogger to load videos, so I'm not even going to bother.  I'll upload the few pictures that I have.  It was obviously dark during the showing, so we don't have many...






All of these "statues" were done in Legos!  How cool?  My only questions are (a) why aren't Batman's boots black? (b) why isn't his codpiece black? (c) why aren't his gloves the appropriate length?  I feel like if you were going to go through the trouble of assembling these Lego statues, you might want to do it right!  Robin and the Joker are perfect, though.  We bought a program, a mask, and a mug before the show started.  Kyle called it our "merch" (merchandise) from the show.




It was so fun to be at this showing because all the little kids came since it wouldn't interfere with bedtime.  Never in my life have I seen so many little boys running around in Batman capes/pajamas with masks on.  It was too cute!





 

It was a wonderful show!  If you are ever interested in seeing it, I recommend getting a seat that isn't ground level (you can't see the air stunts!) and sit at a diagonal if you can.  Sitting completely at the side or directly in the front wouldn't give you as great of a view of everything.  Plus, the seats are cheaper!

After the show, we got some pizza at a little restaurant called The Forum right across from the Coliseum.  The drive home wasn't as bad as I thought it would be since we could take interstate the entire way.  We thoroughly enjoyed our date to Fort Wayne!
