One of the best parts about living in the suburbs is taking advantage of what the city close to me has to offer. But I don't have to deal with its traffic or people all the time. I really love supporting the arts, whether it's local artists or a travelling musical. So when I heard that Billy Elliot was going to be coming to town, I made sure to clear my calendar and find some tickets for it right away.

Out of all the arts, musicals just may be my favorite. I went online to check and see if there were any discount tickets available, to begin with and ran across the site miracle-ear. I looked through it a little bit and after that I decided to go and get fitted with some hearing aids.

I coaxed my neighbor and best friend to go and see it with me. Most of the time she's my partner in crime when we go and see musicals. We just both love them more than about anyone else in the world! We had so much fun and I was so glad that I jumped at the opportunity to go and see it.
