The 1st show expierience was almost successful. Here is why....
When we arrived there, Jack had this cute little smile on his face. He saw that there were a lot of kids his age, all wearing Thomas shirts. He knew what he was getting into.
When the show started, the actors would ask the kids "Are you ready for some fun?" All the kids responded " YYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Except for Jack.
Our son is not one to really get into the moment. He really takes his Thomas seriously. He was very intent on watching the whole show as if it were Shakespeare.
The cliffhanger before intermission left us wondering if Thomas and Percy would be alright in the coal mine.
The whole intermission, Jack was asking if Thomas was going to be ok. We kept reassuring him that yes, he would be fine. But when the show started again, Jack somehow didn't want to see what would happen to Thomas, or if something scarier was going to happen. So he got scared and didn't want to sit in his seat anymore. Brian had to take him downstairs for a bit and for awhile it was just me watching the show.
When Brian and Jack came back , he still didn't want to sit down so we figured that Jack was over the whole show. As we were leaving, that was when the actors were singing the Thomas theme song, and miracle of all miracles, our son stood in the aisle and clapped.That was all we needed to see and made this whole show worth it. When we came home, he took Thomas and Percy and re-created the whole coal mine adventure under the blankets.
And in case you wanted to know - Thomas and Percy came out just fine from the mine.
