Our friends and traveling companions John and Joann say "howdy."
On our first night in the North Dakota Badlands we took in the Medora Musical. Set on the southern edge of Theodore Roosevelt National Park this restored old time frontier town, for fifty years now has been the site of The Burning Hills Theater and what I call a musical review in the form of cowboy/cowgirl entertainers. Toss in a few horses, comedians and lots of great singers and dancers and you have quite the show. We loved it.
The venue is an amphitheater set on a hillside looking down at the stage. In the background are the beautiful Badlands. What a view that is!
Follow Mrs. T down the escalator to your seats.
We're a bit early so there plenty of seats. Later it was packed.
The Mistress of Ceremonies was Emily Walter "Queen of the West."
Yup pardner. That were quite the show
Wow! That does look like it was quite a fun event to witness. Sounds like you're having a blast. I look forward to more! :-)
ReplyDeleteSorry to say, I won't get to Medora until after Labor Day, and that means no show.
ReplyDeletewhat a NEAT theater!!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like it would be a lot of fun. The stage setup is wonderful with such great backdrops. Live entertainment is always great to see.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a stage and the show sounds like it was great fun. Saw an outdoor theater like that in NC for the "Trail of Tears." Just a wonderful experience.
ReplyDeleteOh what fun, looks like such a great theatre. Loving the first pic, cute, Francine.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! It is larger than I thought, I think it used to be blankets on the hillside:)
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have been there!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a backdrop for the show!!
ReplyDeleteWe've never been there, but want to go there soon. Looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteHow delightful! I'd love to do that sometime.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun!!
ReplyDeleteOutdoor theater on a summer night -- couldn't be better -- barbara
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect evening for a show.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Look at that venue! That is quite the stage and backdrop.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a blast. The place is well set up for sure.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun. Open air theatres are brilliant... I haven't seen one since I visited an American style rodeo in the UK.
ReplyDeleteResponding to the comment you left me. I asked my youngest son if he was involved in any of the Bextra cases and he responded with...Tons of them. They were part of our Cox 2 inhibitors litigation along with Celebrex and Vioxx.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find to be part of
ReplyDeleteFun! Wow! That is quite a slope too. Always best to get there early.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat that must have been. Great music in such a grand outdoor place. And the moon shining as well.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like such a neat show and I love the picture of the stage and the actors. Very different from any I've seen here on the East Coast.
ReplyDeleteWow, you are really having quite a trip! Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like fun, with a great looking "town" and scenery backdrop.
ReplyDeleteHope to take our boys to this as well. Looks like a great time. :-)
