Took Ed's Cousins to see Wonderland last night

So Ed's Uncle Rog and Rog's Granddaughters are in New York.  So, last night Ed and Roger went to a dinner and I took the girls to see the new musical Wonderland.
.
It's kind of a take on Alice in Wonderland - after she is grown and has a daughter but lost her youth (boo-de-hoo).
.
Alice is played by the original Nina from In The Heights (and is still a little flat around the edge of her voice).  The daughter out sings her in their couple of duets.
.
Once in Wonderland, the new Mad Hatter (this gal who is fun fun fun) tries to take over.  Alice's "Knight in Shining Armor" is the lead in a boyband (although "boy" might be pushing it).
.
It was great fun for the girls (at 11 and 13, probably the target audience).
.
Now Ed's says these are "cousins".  I know, of course, they are first cousins, once removed - because - well in the Mitchell side of the family familiarity with cousins was a given.
