Ft. Lauderdale

Ft. Lauderdale was a fun, busy week that couldn't go by fast enough! We didn't open until Wednesday night, so we had 8 shows in 5 days. Also, Ft. Lauderdale was the last stop for 3 of our wonderful ladies on tour, so there were lots of going away parties and other things going on.

Monday night we went out for dinner by the beach and ordered pina coladas, which came inside coconuts carved like monkeys!

Later in the week one of them ended up hanging out in the hotel lobby.

We also found this really great t-shirt at a souvenir shop on the beach. Since none of us actually wanted to spend money on it, we made Greg stand behind it and pretend he was wearing it!

The theatre in Ft. Lauderdale had this cut-out in the lobby that Kelly and I couldn't resist taking a picture with.

One day Brian and I were at a baja fresh-esque restaurant for lunch, and there was this iguana lizard thing on the tree outside the window that kept freaking me out because I couldn't tell if it was real or fake.

It was real.

On our last day there, we threw a surprise going away baby shower for Kelly, who was leaving the tour. (No, Kelly's not pregnant - just a long running joke with the company.) Here she is with all of her goodies - even a diaper genie!

And Denny got cupcakes with baby shower rubber ducks!

That night, Kelly was the first to participate in the official company mandate that any crew or management who leaves the tour must make a cameo appearance on stage during the dance scene. Here she is all done up!

This is her on stage - absolutely terrified - to the shock of all of the cast and crew who didn't know this was happening until she walked on stage in costume and a wig.

All in all, a great week - now - 4 days off before Atlanta!
