My favorite part of the show was when...I was there! My favorite part of the show was when the ushers with the oversized flashlights went onstage in the beginning. But my favorite part of the theatre itself was the real ushers (I was actually dressed like them, but I had a red vest, while the real ushers wore black ones), who I got to chat with during intermission and after the curtain call (I also videotaped the show and they didn't care: youtube.com/watch?v=gKWgMr8OdOA guess what I focused the camera on most!)! Whoever planned this must've read my mind because I've always wanted to attend a show with more ushers who stand at the side of the stage where I can see them and they don't care that I'm filming (I love bootlegs)!otomodachifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01080731527191001123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-4296689304496654002014-04-23T12:43:29.406-04:002014-04-23T12:43:29.406-04:00True.

My ASD 8 yo can handle a mainstream show, but my non-autistic 5 yo (he's dyspraxic with SPD) could use the sensory-friendly one.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-28395790821324833772014-04-23T11:51:43.991-04:002014-04-23T11:51:43.991-04:00That sounds like it went so well!

I think they should call it a sensory-friendly performance because not every autistic person attends specially-designed shows.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-34923298149367664702014-04-21T12:49:14.611-04:002014-04-21T12:49:14.611-04:00Wow, I'm so glad Max had such fun and that Mic...Wow, I'm so glad Max had such fun and that Mickey adn Minnie showed up at the end. :) I'm also glad to ehar that special needs adutls were welcoemt oo, as I'd like to attend a sensory-friendly performance someday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-49823428421113184842014-04-21T11:30:20.402-04:002014-04-21T11:30:20.402-04:00I'm so happy that you had such a positive expe...I'm so happy that you had such a positive experience.
