She was justifiably pissed and made herself a huge presence. I loved the noise and drama she provoked (I named her Julia, as she made beautiful music). It was as close to theater as I got in SA (although, I got a huge hoot that in Cape Town there was the traveling production of Chicago! If I only had another day, I would have gone just to see a Broadway show 7793 miles or 12,541 km away from the boards! Wonderful trip!
