Rapunzel Show

I have been really excited to do this post!!   This school year, Lindsey & Kate took a class from "Up With Kids," which is a musical theater class for kids.   They went once a week for an hour.  This year, the show was "Rapunzel" (just like Disney's Tangled movie).  The first 1/2 of the school year, they learn about different aspects of theater and how every person is important in a show.  Then, in February, they were casted into their parts.    Lindsey was casted as "Tall Rapunzel" and Kate was casted as "Tigress" (a chameleon).  (They changed the story a little in order to have a lot more parts for kids).  A couple of weeks later, Kate was asked to also play "Snow Cone Fairy."    Then, two weeks before the show, they asked her to be "Pascal" as well.  Both girls did an incredible job learning and memorizing their parts and Lindsey worked hard to be able to sing her solos beautifully!


The group performed twice.  The first time was for the special needs kids and a couple of smaller local schools at Murray High School and then they had their regular performance for family & friends at Bonneville Jr. High. 


I couldn't have been prouder of these two girls of mine.  It was a definite "pay day" for me and I still smile when I think of how cute they were and how great they did!   We were so lucky to have such great support from our family.  Both sets of grandparents live away, so they didn't have them there, but Rich & Misty came with Sophia, Annie & Becky Cowden came and their art teacher, Ms. Camille came.

 Kate as a chameleon (I thought these costumes were so cute!)  They are pretending to hold Rapunzel's long hair.

 When Kate was casted as Pascal, it was such a blessing because they got to interact a lot on stage.

 Pascal is lifting Flynn Rider's head to get the satchel.

She was so cute!





 Mother Gothel was great too!

 I love this sweet little picture.  She's so shy, but she was doing exactly what the teacher had taught them to do.

 Bowing

 The very last song (after the bows) was sung by the entire cast, complete with sign language.

Hannah started sobbing at the end of the first show because of the touching music & sign language.

Great work Lindsey & Kate!  I'll probably still be watching the DVD of this show when I'm old and in a nursing home!
