Too many commitments for Saturday night? Come to the matinee!
I saw OperaCadabra 2008 with an entire row of jaded, media-saturated, seen-it-all-before, big-city-transplanted grown-ups. Our jaws dropped and our attention was riveted from the beginning of the opening act all the way through and including the car ride home. We were still talking about it a week later. Forget video games, iPad, and blockbuster-special-effects. This is good old-fashioned human-generated talent that will appeal to adults and children at the same time. I found that magical in itself.

Anybody and everybody! Operacadabra is AWESOME. Dave Williamson is INCREDIBLE. I'm just a regular YS resident, but am DEFINITELY going to this. Really, I don't know who else Dave has in this show but I went to two other Operacadabras and had a blast.
