This past Thursday night was Emmalee's summer camp production of Cinderella and Disney Musical Revue. All I can say is "WOW" - these kids pulled together a wonderful show in just 5 short weeks! They all knew all their lines, the songs were all memorized and choreographed, they even had a ballroom scene and had been taught to waltz!
Emmalee played Perla, one of the mice. She had a few lines and a song sung just by the mice and birds as they put together Cinderella's dress. If you get a chance to see the tape (I video'ed the entire show), you will hear Emmalee singing loud above the others! The show was great - I was very impressed! After Cinderella ended, the cast sang a Disney Musical Revue - pieces of 23 Disney songs! Each cast member had a solo part in at least one song. Emmalee's solo was "Spoonful of Sugar" - she was great! All in all, it was a wonderful night. I am so proud of Em and all of the other kids in the show, and thankful for the 3 teachers who gave up their July mornings and took on this task - it was great! Em has already asked if she can do it again next summer!
One of the teachers, Mr. Morency, told me over and over how much he liked Emmalee. He and the entire cast called her the "Little Director". He told me that Emmalee knew everyone's lines and everyone's songs, and everyone's choreography and if anyone had any questions, Emmalee could answer them. When we were leaving after the show, several of the older cast members called out "Goodbye, Little Director!"
I think we have a little actress on our hands!
