Radha's Musical
I attend the
opening night
debut of a
musical theatre
production written by and starring my
ex-girlfriend
,
Radha
. My mother accompanies me and we have
front row
center seats. There's a lot of singing and dancing by a large cast. The songs tell stories so there's not much
plot
--sort of like
A Chorus Line
. Having known
Radha
for some years, it is obvious to me that the play is
autobiographical
. It recalls many aspects of her personality that I've forgotten since our break-up over three years ago. Primary
theme
s include
sanity
,
depression
, family
dysfunction
, search for
happiness
, search for
love
, and
free will
over
destiny
. There's an upbeat,
sarcastic
song and dance about people calling her
crazy
and her own
appropriation
of the term as an
identity
of strength. The last song is about using her free will to choose a future of
happiness
over an historical trend of
sadness
. During this tune, the cast comes down into the audience dancing. One of the dancers approaches me and takes my hand for a quick
swing dance
. I suspect that I'm supposed to be surprised and let her
lead
me, but instead I remain very cool and confident as I lead her in a slow, steady swing with twirls and spins until I think I might be messing with the
choreography
and let her go. After the
finale
there's a
standing ovation
. In the lobby after the show, I tell
Radha
how much I enjoyed it and she tells me I
almost
messed with her
choreography
, but not quite.
