Good-Bye Dolly

Here are the stars of Hello Dolly.....okay we thought so anyway! I finally snapped a few pictures on the closing night of the play. This was during intermission after one of my WONDERFUL dancing numbers (which by the way I FELL on stage one night....a little embarrassing! But a good story!), so I am a little hot and sweaty! But I am so proud of my girls for sticking it out and finishing it with me. It was a lot of time this month and crazy crazy schedules but hopefully we created some fun memories!

This is us in our costumes for "Before the Parade Passes By" including a flag from the parade.
And here we are in our costumes for "Put on Your Sunday Clothes"......not a whole lot different huh? They were cute though. In this number I had 7 little girls all dresses in yellow with yellow bows and skirts and sashes (I didn't put the girls back on) and we paraded on stage and curtsied. It was very cute.
This ones for you mom!
Such a trooper! No one could believe how well behaved she was on stage. She would even SMILE! It was seriously the cutest thing!
My niece Claudia. We got to know each other VERY well over the last 6 weeks or so. I am glad I had that time to really get to know her! Love you Claudia!

This was "fake daddy" as my girls liked to call him. We were paired up a lot as a family on stage. Josey told me she was going to miss Peter after the show. He was very nice to my girls and fun to dance with.

My girls had their own little room to watch movies in and eat snacks and color. One night I had to go back out on stage with out them and Lilly was having a hard time so the costume director came in and drew a picture for her on the chalk board. The girls thought it was the BEST drawing they had ever seen so they had to leave it up the whole time. Maddy didn't want to erase it so I told her we could take a picture of it to remember. Thanks Sally!

You guys were in the same production of "Hello, Dolly!" with my brother Stuart and two of his daughters, Mckenna & Emmalyn. My parents were out there Thursday and Friday and said that it was SOOOOOO GOOD!!! My Mom is a serious Musical-Theatre-Buff.....and, apparently, your play was very, VERY well done!!

HUGE Congrats!! What a great experience!!
