Change out " Heading West"?

This isn't going to be popular, but I am so ready for a different show in the Opera house during Christmas.....

No to the change...the show is too much of a success! Junior, that is an awesome idea to have both of the shows on park. But they would definitely need another large venue to stage "Wonderful Life". Could play it in echo hollow and have real snow and people getting real frostbite, etc. Of course, that would bring on real lawsuits...uh, forget that idea.

StaceySue- "Could she really not find time to tell him she's pregnant? Maybe she didn't want him to not go because of her, but what wife would do that?" She thought about telling him but decided not to for just that reason. It was a different age, and women were generally more subservient to their man's wishes. Not saying that's good, just the way it was.

Yeah, I know times were different, but they were young and in love. I think she would have told him.

I totally agree! The Opera House is way too small a venue for Christmas Carol. Despite the fact that it is an old story and many people already know how it goes, the theater is always packed when I go to that show. They DO need to move it to a bigger place.

I like the SDC version a lot, and don't want it to stop. But I must say that I like Mickey's Christmas Carol better. But I'm in the minority here, they don't ever show it on TV anymore for a reason. Ya know, so they can air "A Christmas Story"(pink bunny suit/Red Ryder BB gun) 50 times a year. I liked Christmas Story the first 5 times I watched it...but give it a rest!

Anyways...back to topic. Any other shows people would like to see during OTC?

It is packed because it is 15 degrees outside, and this is a place to sit in the heatm on a soft cushioned bench for an hour!

True...but why would you wait outside upwards of an hour and a half, in some cases, to get inside out of the cold for 1 hour?

Should SDC do a rock musical and call it "Head East." Whoops! I think that name is already in use!

rubedugans · October 27, 2010, 02:27:10 PM

Ahh touché Nate! honestly I was only kidding, after some prodding on here, I first went to the show last year. It was good, but I will not be returning to it unless it is changed (I know the ending...why would I go see it again!) It was nice to be in warm for a while.

The funniest part was when we were inside at the finale, the fake snow began to fall, and upon leaving I was kind of bummed that it wasn't really snowing.

I have been to OTC so many times and not once has it snowed

The Herschends must be close with the man upstairs to have that kind of weather control, as snow might drive people away. I agree with you that it would be great to have snow at SDC...just once.

rubedugans · October 27, 2010, 03:16:21 PM

Been there done that...Been snowed on in October (30th) 3-4 inches, November, and Flurries in December, Ice storms and snow in March....

I guess "There's Never Been Any Reason" for them to do that.

And on their way east, one of the main characters stops off in Nashville and becomes the lead singer for Petra!

You're welcome, Rube. Somebody had to do it.

just a thought: they could have 2 shows, and rotate them year to year.. true for any of the festivals..

I also have wondered why they dont have new shows every year?.

Is it really that hard to come up with new skits?
