Musical Theater Girl

This year Whitney has a Stage Crew class and an Advanced Musical Theater class at school, both of which are taught by a guy who was a 16 year old priest in our ward back when Randy and I were first married! We actually went to see him play the Tin man in the Wizard of Oz back when Landon was a baby!  He's now an amazing actor, dancer, performer and teacher at our junior high. How's that for a small world?

I signed up to help with publicity so I had this vinyl on my car window for a month and a sign in our front yard.

Whitney was all kind of busy leading up to the play because she was doing double duty with rehearsals and stage crew (painting sets and props, etc.).

She was a Who Mom and is seen here with her Who husband and Who daughters.

I had never seen Seussical before and wasn't expecting it to be very good because Whitney had made it sound lame, but I thought it was great! Ridiculous, but great.

The kids were impressive and such good singers.

Whitney as a jellyfish.

I never had the inclination to be in a musical back in high school, I'm far too wussy for that so it makes me emotional and impressed when I see kids participate in something like this. It looks so fun and is such a memorable thing to be a part of.

Randy was out of town on opening night, but my mom, Lori, Amy and the girls, and Landon all went to see the show.

These are the "Act-o-grams" we bought for a dollar to wish Whitney well.
