We watched it on PBS, live from Lincoln Center. Boylee was very interested in the "live" aspect -- okay, let's ignore the fact that it was live for the east coast -- and had lots of questions. He was quite intrigued to recognize the exterior of the theater, and the interior, and the unique orchestra pit with the stage that slides back and forth to cover or reveal it.
We spent several minutes talking about the various actors -- who we had seen at our performance, and which actors were different. (They were almost all the same, but a different Nellie and Luther. But we recognized the guy who had played our Luther. He was in a different role last night.)
Later, Boylee seemed to lose interest -- he got very involved with some legos, and sat down on the floor. But it didn't take me long to see that he was actually paying very close attention, commenting on plot points and singing/humming along with the music...while playing with legos.
When Paolo Szot sang, "Once you have found her, never let her go," Boylee came and gave me a hug and kiss and said, "I will never let you go."
