From Mercy
The trip to Boston was wonderful and meeting Merian,
Maria and the other ladies was just great. Merian and Maria
were both so sweet and funny. We all wished we had more time
together. We are already making plans for another reunion in
case Michael decides to do another play in Boston or New York.
My son and I arrived in Boston on Friday, February 3rd at
7:00am. I was very tired after flying most of the night, but
when I got there and met Merian and Maria I forgot all about
being tired.
After arriving we also met with Ann, who came from England.
She is a very nice lady.
On Saturday, we all went sightseeing during the day and even
thought it was freezing we had a wonderful time. We went to the
harbor and to a huge marketplace called, Quincy Market. That
same day we decided to stop by the theater after that evening
performance and we had the chance to meet with Michael for first
time. Well, it was the first time for Merian, Maria and Ann but
the Third time for me.
Michael was very charming and sweet as usual and quickly
agreed to take some pictures with us. I gave him a few letter I
had brought from some of the fans and he was very happy so
receive them. We also made him promise to meet us again the
following day after the play.
I asked Michael if he was planning to do another play in
Boston next year and his reply was, "You never know."
The following day, Sunday we met with another friend, Karen,
who arrived from Atlanta, USA in the morning. We all went to
eat a late breakfast/lunch together and then we just waited in
the hotel lobby talking until it was time to go to the theater
for the 2:00 p.m show. This was going to be the last show.
The play was just wonderful. The set decoration and the
costumes were beautiful and
all the actors did an outstanding job with their roles, and
of course Michael was amazing. Michael's character was
funny, cunning but at the same time very sad.
After the play we waited for Michael outside the theater for
about half an hour until finally Michael appeared carrying a box
with all his belongings from his dressing room. Once again,
Michael was very happy to see us and this time we gave him some
gift we had for him. He gladly took some more pictures with us
and signed our programs.
After the play we all went to dinner for the last time,
wishing once again that we had more time together.
Monday morning we parted for the airport early in the morning
and even though we were all sad to say good-bye, we all knew
that we will do our best to have another reunion soon.
Well, that pretty much sums up our trip to Boston and our
meeting with Michael.
Regards
Mercy
