CATS, the broadway musical, came to Busan a couple weeks ago. Jesi and I went to the show and had a ton of fun. At one point during the performance all the singers/actors (probably 30 or so) walk out amongst the audience and interact with the children in the crowd. They stay in character while doing so, as they act cat-like and tease the kids. One "cat" in particular was messing with a young Korean child a few rows directly behind us. As we were watching this and laughing I suddenly got a strange feeling that I would be the next victim. In my head I was repeating "please not me... please not me... please not me..." and by the time I got to the third "please not me" I looked away for a moment and turned back around to see the "cat" sitting right next to me, staring directly at me. I couldn't help but notice that behind the weird cat-costume and show makeup, this actress was stungingly beautiful. I like to think that for a brief moment sparks flew as she extended her hand/paw and I uttered my best possible pick up line... "Hi, my name's Brett. Nice to meet you." Being a true professional, of course she couldn't speak as she remained "in character", but I'm convinced that she would have given me her phone number at the very least :-) Anyway, Jesi got a good laugh out of the whole deal and I've suddenly got a taste for the opera.
