Today for a fun time and a great Valentine's Day (But no pics) we went to the Charlotte Symphony and saw "Bugs Bunny on Broadway" with the kids. This was a full length (2 hour) performance. It was all Warner Brothers Cartoons (Looney Toons etc) done to live music. Sounds interesting huh? We thought so. And it was very, very entertaining for sure! Only Aricin struggled some sitting and watching all that time.
Who knew Elmer Fudd's "Kill the Wabbit" was always a classical tune? The conductor even mentioned this. When he introduced it by the real name no one had heard of it, but when he said "kill the Wabbit" the whole audience erupted in laughter!
Talk about precision! It is amazing that they can get that live music to synchronize with the cartoons and what happens in them exactly! They use a headset to help with the timing, meter changes etc. I guess for that kind of precision you would have to!
Classics such and Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner, Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd to help us all smile. The only thing that made this afternoon better was getting to our favorite pizza joint for dinner (which was all decked out in pink, red and white ballons) and having a heart shaped pizza for dinner!
Yippee! And Happy Valentine's Day!
