周六去看了新音樂劇 "Because of Winn Dixie"， 非常有趣，邊看邊笑邊思考，看完回味無窮。

改編自書，作曲輕快作詞機智。由一條兩歲半的大毛狗領銜主演，一眼見它從側面跑進舞台全場就立刻充滿了fun，touching！！

”10-year-old India Opal Buloni has just moved to the small town of Naomi, Florida with her father, a preacher.While in the Winn-Dixie supermarket, she encounters a scruffy dog and names it Winn-Dixie. Winn-Dixie becomes friends with everyone he encounters, and so she makes some new friends in the process. She also rekindles her relationship with her father, and learns ten things about her mother, who abandoned them seven years ago. Opal describes the preacher as an old turtle, always sticking his head into his turtle shell and never wanting to come out into the real world. This is most likely because of how sad he is about her mother, with whom he is still in love.

One of the people Opal meets is Miss Franny Block, a kind and somewhat eccentric elder librarian, who tells her many great stories, including one involving a bear. Opal also meets Gloria Dump, a blind recovering alcoholic with a tree in her backyard that has beer bottles hanging from it. She calls it a 'mistake tree' and the bottles represent the ghosts of all the things she has done wrong.”

現場燈光和音樂相當出彩，尤其那個牧師父親的扮演者嗓音特別有磁性。他的獨白對白獨唱在容納幾百名觀眾的海螺形劇場裡字字清晰，演員們的面部肢體表演栩栩如生。整台劇作精緻有序，精彩幽默的台詞被十幾名老中青小年齡的演員們演繹得淋漓盡致。

90分鐘的演出一氣呵成，坐在場中的我們被深深帶入劇中世界，心中的悲歡苦樂如醇酒慢嘗，是一次絕妙的視聽享受！

喜歡裡面那個被鄰居看作“女巫” 的前酗酒黑女士，她嗓門渾厚軀體有力，講述和吟唱的張力十足：她偷過警車，偷過商品，喝過很多酒犯過很多錯誤，清醒時候便把過往寫進酒瓶掛在院子裡的大樹上： 那些閃閃亮的瓶子從天而降得萬千神秘，一如從前撲朔迷離的塵封記憶。。。

劇中每個家庭都有隱藏傷口，每個人都有看得見的缺點，而人和人之間是不可避免的隔膜，誤解，衝突和交流。最具意義的是，你會發現和劇中的人們一樣，能救真正贖自我的不是宗教儀式的禱告或書本逃避的清高，而只是簡單抱抱那隻毛茸茸大狗之後你便知道你我都需要：友誼，相互依偎的取暖，求同存異的寬容可以打開心扉，接受現實，擁抱當下，活着更美好。

午後四時當我隨人流緩緩走出，迎來烈日當頭，突然很想去聽一場郭德剛的現場演出，必定很有趣的。
