It was my first year attending the "Golden Girls Christmas Live!" And it was incredible.
Being a Golden Girls fan, I can't stress enough how well the actors pulled off the characters. Head to toe, shoulder pads and pastel slacks- to the mannerism and body language- it was PERFECTION!
Walking into the theatre, it was a very intimate setting. I particularly enjoyed that, considering every seat in the theatre was a winner!
There were concessions such as popcorn, water, alcohol, soda, and candy bars- personally, my boyfriend and I got popcorn and water and it was very fulfilling. The line for the bar can be a bit confusing and it was a snug squeeze down to our seats because everyone was in line for the bar- which would be my only complaint.
The merchandise was adorable, and very well priced- I was worried I wouldn't get one in time because our seats were nearest to the wall and there was a crowd, but I managed to get the cartoon image of all the ladies on a pink tee!
Every one of the staff members were friendly, and while it may be a bit tricky, the seats were very comfortable to sit in. The old charm of Victoria theatre really made the experience, it was a complete and full house - the piano stylings and sing along Christmas carols were a great in between as well!
I don't want to give away any spoilers, but just to be prepared, there are two episodes performed with a break in between- so it's a great idea to plan your day out if you're planning on doing any errands before or after in SF.
This was easily the best live show I've seen, and it's got my curiosity in seeing the Friends Live! Show.
Being in my 20s, it feels as though Christmas can lose a bit of spark each year, or it adds more stress, but there was something about the room of the theatre that night during its final performance. I felt the Christmas spirit so strong, and there was a sense of unity as we all laughed at the same jokes and surprises.
Thank you to everyone who is apart of this, it made my year and I look forward to attending next Christmas as well.
