12/5/14: MythBusters Behind the Myths

This week we were lucky enough to go to MythBusters Behind the Myths at The Hanover Theatre in Worcester, MA.  In our house, we love the show MythBusters.  It is a great mix of the scientific process, learning, and some pretty cool explosions.  The live show consists of the stars of the show Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage talking to the audience about some science, previous Myths and even a question and answer time.  Being a parent with a degree in Aerospace Engineering I like that my son loves this show and couldn't wait to go.  The live show is great for the whole family but remember their famous words "Don't try this at home!".

It was fun seeing pieces of the show come to life by seeing Jamie and Adam live.  There was even a time during the show where there was a question and answer time with Jamie where audience members could ask him anything.  Here you can see Adam lying on a bed of nails with a cinder block on top of him that Jamie happily swung at and broke.  The cool thing is that they always talk about the science behind everything.  

 The tour is still going on and you can see the full set of dates here on their site.  Evan was beyond excited to see Adam and Jamie.

  There were many times when people from the audience were called up to help out.  There were many waivers like this one out in the audience and if you found one on you chair you could hold it up when they asked for volunteers.  Unfortunately Evan didn't participate but he was excited to have the waiver.

They had one episode where they came out in Star Wars outfits and tested when Princess Leia was swung across on a rope with Jamie holding her to see if it was possible.  They came out after intermission wearing their Star Wars gear.

 Adam admitted that most of the costumes were from his personal collection.

 They did many on-stage experiments through the show and also had some cool videos.  I particularly liked the combination of many videos from items they had blown up.  Thanks to their sound system you really heard the booms and felt the rumble.

11/26/14: Elf the Musical Tons of Fun

We have been going to shows at The Hanover Theatre for a while and have always enjoyed them.  When I heard that Elf the Musical was coming I was excited to see it.  The whole family loved the movie so I knew they would love the show.  We were lucky enough to attend last Friday night.  I could tell by the giggles in the audience that people were loving it.

The show was fantastic.  They had great backdrops that transformed the stage in to the North Pole and New York City including Macy's.  

It is the perfect show for the whole family.  The songs were great and my whole family couldn't stop singing "Buddy the Elf, It's The Story of Buddy the Elf."

Anytime a movie is put on the stage it is difficult to forget the original characters but this show was so true to the spirit of the movie and well done.  Buddy the Elf was fantastic.  He fit the part perfectly.  Both of my kids were giggling away during the show.  They absolutely loved it.  At one point I looked back and a little boy behind us was dancing and giggling.  It was so fun to watch.

It is a show that the whole family can enjoy.  The whole show was fast moving and kept kids attention.

This modern day Christmas classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner ELF.

More about the show:

Behind the Myths Tour The all-new, live stage show promises to be an unexpected evening of on-stage experiments, audience participation, rocking video and behind-the-scenes stories.  For the first time ever, fans will join Jamie and Adam on stage and assist in their mind-twisting and not always orthodox approach to science.  "MythBusters Behind the Myths" brings you face to face with the curious world of Jamie and Adam as the duo matches wits on stage with each other and members of the audience. 

MythBusters Behind the Myths” is family friendly and appropriate for all ages. In late 2013, the show performed a 28-city national tour playing sold out performances all over the country.  One of the most highly regarded and watched series on the Discovery Channel, "MythBusters" is now in its twelfth season.  Co-hosted by Hyneman and Savage, the show mixes scientific method with gleeful curiosity and plain old- fashioned ingenuity to create its own signature style of explosive experimentation – and the supporting or de-bunking of urban myths that we live with day to day.  Adam and Jamie have become spokespersons at large for applying science to real life – most recently as hosts of the Discovery Channel special “"iGenius: How Steve Jobs Changed the World”.  Adam and Jamie serve as guest editors for Popular Mechanics and were featured on the cover of the September 2009 issue.  That same year, they were inducted as honorary members into Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society. 

We can't wait to attend!  It looks awesome and my son is beyond excited!

1/7/13: Beauty and the Beast Musical at The Hanover Theatre

I was able to take my little Princess Lauren to see Beauty and the Beast the Musical at the The Hanover Theatre.  To say the show was amazing is an understatement.  We both really loved it!

Lauren especially loves Belle and thought the show was great.  Sometimes I can see my kids lose interest in a show but this time it held her attention the whole time.  She was literally sitting on the edge of her seat to watch it and gave it an "awesome" rating when it was done.

I was not allowed to take pictures however I  credit the following photos to Joan Marcus from the Beauty and the Beast Website.  The sets were amazing all the way down to the floor which was covered with a cool design.  I was wondering how they would bring some of the Disney animation to live theatre but they did an awesome job recreating the movie   with the larger than life characters.

 Belle was amazing and had a beautiful voice.  She sounded like Belle in the movie.  My favorite act was when they did "Be Our Guest", it was wonderful complete with shooting champagne bottles and streamers being shot out.  The dancing and singing was spot on as you watched the flatware entertaining.

 It was so cute to see all the little girls there all dressed up in their Princess dresses.  The theatre was packed and I wouldn't have expected anything less.  The Beast had a wonderful and commanding voice and played the part perfectly.  The transformation to Prince left me speechless.  Truly awesome!

 What can I say about Gaston?  He was absolutely fantastic.  So much like the pompous character from the movie.  He really did make us laugh.

 If you were wondering how they would bring Mrs. Potts, Chip, Lumiere to life, well this is how.  All the way down to the detail of Chip as a little child.  It was so wonderful and not cheesy to watch.
