To me this memory is as vivid today, as when it happened 22 years ago. About 6 months after meeting Steve, this one night, he said i'm taking you to dinner, in the city. This was going to be a treat in itself, even though living in Sydney for the best part of 17 years, it was only on rare occasions, that i had ventured into the city.
This seems strange, but i don't remember where he took me for dinner, as it was where Steve took me afterwards, that had the most impact on this memory.
Still not letting on where he was taking me....we walked from where we had dinner to the front of this building....jammed packed with people waiting to go inside. As we entered this grand building, Steve informed me, that this was "The Her Majesty''s Theatre" & that he brought me here to watch a musical show, called "Annie" ( of all names).....i was speechless! I had never been to such a grand building, let alone seen a musical show.
In that every moment....i felt like a princess ascending a grand staircase, to go to her first ball.....yet also feeling abit like a fish out of water.
It was silent as the show started, you could have heard a pin drop....thinking to myself, how does one react at such events.
Well it didn't take me long to find out....for the next 2 hours....my senses & emotions were taken on a magic ride. I was held spellbound by their acting.....the beautiful voices, when they were singing....was wonderous to hear.....i laugh so much at times, that i didn't think i could laugh anymore & yet i did......and i cried, also.
All through the show, i could feel Steve's eyes upon me, without saying anything and thinking to myself, was i doing something wrong. Well after the show had finished and we were on our way home....i said did i do something wrong, stating that i could feel his eyes on me all night. To which he replied, NO of course not....he said i was like watching a kid in a toy shop, for the very first time & that it gave him so pleasure, just watching my reactions.
It was just a wonderous & magical night. Steve spoilt me with many more shows, while we lived in Sydney ( that's the only thing i miss, about living in a city) And i have to say my all time favourite has to be "The Phantom of the Opera", which i seen twice.....just made the hairs on the back of my neck, stand up!
This is a cherished memory!
