Mom in the City

I took my four year old son to see A (Tooth) Fairy Tale.  Theatre is one of my favorite perks of living in the city and this was such a great little play!

Basically, the story is about a little boy (Samuel) who does not like following rules.  After setting a trap and catching The Tooth Fairy, Samuel trades places with her for a while.  (The Tooth Fairy was tired of doing the same old thing and needed a vacation herself!)  Of course, the role changes lead to some mishaps, but all ends well. 

All of the actors and actresses did a great job, but I think that the main reason I liked the play is that the Upper West Side was one of the focal points.  (The Upper West Side was the first place that I lived in Manhattan - as a student at Columbia - and it is still my absolute favorite part of Manhattan.  If I ever hit the lottery (which I don't play?!) that's where I would live as long as possible!)   I also liked the fact that the cast signed the kids' programs after the show. 

In any event, if you get the chance, I recommend seeing a Vital Theatre Company production.
