Medora Musical

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

  2. Sorry to say, I won't get to Medora until after Labor Day, and that means no show.

  4. Wow, 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.

  15. What fun. Open air theatres are brilliant... I haven't seen one since I visited an American style rodeo in the UK.

  16. Responding 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.
