Beauty and the Beast

Beauty and the Beast.

Oscar saw his first Gran Via (our Broadway here in Madrid) Production. On the 22 February, Oscar along with 20 of his schoolmates, went and saw Beauty and the Beast (La Bella y la Bestia). We rented a bus to drive us into Madrid so we won´t have to worry about traffic, parking, etc. On the bus, we sang songs from Beauty in the Beast (en español, image that) and the typical songs that kids sing on the bus. As the only foreigner, it was an interesting experience. At one point they were singing the spanish version of "who stole the cookes from the Cookie Jar" and I was praying that they won´t call on me. Of course they did and I muddled through it with the help of Oscar. Everyday he amazes me with his ability to change from one language/culture to another.

The musical was fun but long (three hours). At one point Oscar asked me if it was time to go home. I was a bit afraid that he might have nightmares that night because it was scary in some parts but he didn´t. True to form, when you ask him how the musical was his answer is "We got to ride in a bus!"
