Last night Sweet Hubby and I went to the city's big sports/concert arena for the first time since it was renovated several years ago, so that's one Something New.
We were there to see the Trans Siberian Railroad, which I'd never even heard of until I saw an advertisement recently for this concert. Some good friends, including a dear cousin, really like TSO and so, without knowing much of anything about it/them(?), I bought us tickets.
The music didn't do much for me. It was harder, more electric rock than I tend to like. It was a Christmas show, so there were new interpretations of some classic carols, and also some songs I'd never heard, all of them sung jazzed up and rock-y. The performers were talented (one man held a note for what felt like 2 minutes without wavering) but it just wasn't quite my cup of tea.
The tech, however, was amazing. There were projections, moving stages, every color of light going in every direction, and big set pieces moved on and off stage so skillfully, I was never aware of them appearing nor disappearing.
All in all, I'm really glad we took this night out on the town to see Something New.
