Winnie The Pooh Live

Yesterday, the three of us traveled to the Gwinnett Arena nearby to see the touring company of "Winnie the Pooh Live." The touring company did a stellar job and the narrator had a nice singing voice.
Thankfully, my fears were unfounded. You see, the touring company was affiliated with Feld Entertainment, the same people who are responsible for Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus.
I feared they would produce "Winnie the Pooh Live" the same way they do the circus. I could only imagine what that would be like...
...Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Owl, Rabbit, Eeyore, Kanga and Roo would arrive in one little car. They would emerge, then run around in madcap style and sneeze confetti into the front row.
And what would come next would certainly be inappropriate for little children to see. Six Heffalumps would parade around a circular enclosure and Christopher Robin would snap a whip at any of them who didn't comply with his orders.
Then they would erect these four 80 foot poles that frankly, wouldn't look too sturdy. Pooh, Rabbit, Kanga and Piglet would teeter precariously over the crowd and several times, it would look like they would either fall or the poles would snap. I'd be holding my breath the entire time.
There would be sponsor intrusions too, There would be this mock psychiatrist sketch where they try to prescribe Prozac for Eeyore and treat Tigger for ADD. It would be most inappropriate.
Then there would be the tightrope act. Winnie the Pooh would be on one platform and on the other side, across from where he stood, would be a jar of honey. Again, I would hold my breath for a long time. A smackerel of honey just ain't worth it.
All of this would pale next to the frightening finale. Stagehands would roll in this huge metal ball containing two motorcycles that definitely need mufflers. With a deafening roar, Owl and Rabbit would drive their motorcycles around the ball, somehow managing not to run into each other. Then, they would add beloved Tigger to the mix and all three motorcycles would roar around the circle. Then, as the drum roll built in intensity, they would add Pooh on a fourth motorcycle. Still, there would be no collision.
For the big climax, the four motorcycles would the metal ball while Piglet stood in the middle, mutterring, "Oh d-d-d-d-dear! " Kids would crying throughout the Arena. As families rushed for the exits, an announcer would invite everyone to return for the 2006 show, "Winnie the Pooh Dead!" Apparently, the silly old bear is allergic to bee stings.
