"Schoolhouse Rock Live" On Stage Tonight

I saw Schoolhouse Rock Live last night and loved it - a great time was had by all!

The cast brings to life the beloved educational TV cartoons from the 1970s in the live musical, and it's great to see so much talent from around the area gracing the stage!

You'll see beloved songs, including "Conjunction Junction," "Three is a Magic Number," "Interplanet Janet" and "I'm Just a Bill" (and many, many more).

It's a fun, fast-paced show - one of my all-time favorites - and you'll be amazed at the wonderful talent on display.

Here's the write-up from today's Herald-Dispatch (you can also see more photos like the one above in this Photo Gallery):
