Today I saw Honolulu Theatre for Youth's production of the classic Goodnight Moon. Being that I love children's books and have benefited from HTY's programs in the past, how could I miss it?!
The play definitely did not disappoint . . . everything from the set, to the whimsical characters, dancing, stage choreography, and original music were excellently done! With such a simple book they were able to create complex, funny characters that captivated the young (and old) audience. I would recommend taking any toddlers you know to see this play! Only one week left! But if you're young at heart and want to be taken up into a fantasy world for an hour, this play is for you, too. HTY's Goodnight Moon is really magical and fun!
Their re-creation of the book through the set was amazing . . .
We followed the play with a stop at the previously mentioned Hokulani Bake Shop. I didn't think I'd be back there so soon, but this time I didn't miss the opportunity to sample one of their creations. I had the lemon cupcake with lilikoi frosting. The cupcake was moist and delicate, and the frosting wasn't too sweet. All in all, I was very happy with it!
After all that sugar, we started craving something salty, so we ended the day at Soon's. It was my first time there, and it turned out to be one of the best Korean bbq I've had! I got the meat jun with mandoo. So ono . . . broke da mouth . . . :) The meat was thin with an airy, crisp egg coating. Usually meat jun is kind of soggy and the meat can be tough, but this one was delicious!
So much good food in my tummy, made me sleepy. So good night, friends!
