Washington D.C. - Wolf Trap

In the evening, we needed some light entertainment.

Bruce, Olima, Snjezana, Sandra and I took the underground and a shuttle bus to Wolf Trap. This open air theatre in a National Park on the outskirst of Washington D.C. organises summer perfomances of all kinds. We watched the musical 42nd Street, sitting on the lawn, drinking a beer, eating a hamburger. We hadn't brought any blanket, but our neighbours had a spare one and that made it all the more comfortable.

The spectacle consisted of a simple story of a simple girl who arrives on Broadway and hopes to become a star. At first she isn't selected, then someone falls ill and she can be in the chorus.
When the leading actress breaks her ankle, our heroin can take her place and immediately steals everyone's heart and saves the show. The musical date backs to the 30's and used to be a movie. It brings famous songs such as "Broadway Lullaby", "In the money" and "On 42nd Street".
The main actress was Loretta Swit, who became an American idol as Major Margareth Houlihan of television's most honoured series M.A.S.H.

We had a very enjoyable night out under the stars and were back at the hotel by midnight!
