Dress Rehearsal

The set is awesome the costumes are fabulous... with lots of prayer we might pull this off:) Here are a few photos Scott came and took for me last night at dress rehearsal! We open tonight! I wish I had put on my other 2 dresses so I had photos in them:( All three are amazing and help me with my role of Christine. My friend Sue is playing my mom she is in the pink dress. She is Stake YW Pres. She was in the MoTabs for 20 years and is a pro:) SHe is a true beauty and I love it that a few people think she is really my mom and treat for me. The little girl is one of the kids that play my children in one of the love songs, she is shy her name is Emma. My director is in the center wearing black she has patience and is one talented lady she can do everything. I love hearing her hubby talk about her. The one strangling me is Carlotta or Natalie who is friends my Anthony and went to Skyline!!! How about that 2 former Prima Donna Eagles sharing the stage in Sandy:) She is awesome in her role. Ben is holding the spy glass and I play opposite of him as Fairly Good. He is very good natured and his wife is equally unexcited about love scenes-- which we majorly toned down. Lisa is my cute friend with the blue hat that made me dress #3, she was the lead in the last Stake Musical Music Man and has been so sweet telling me that I will be known as Christine for a long time- I am even answering to it now. Hillary and Matt are Zaza kind of like Meg form the original and Phantom. She can dance and sing and is cute-- no fair:) They are wonderful and I am so glad to have made friendships with both of them. Plus Zaza hooked me up with some bling for the play which we all know how I love sparkly. Lyle plays Dora and I have just admired her awesome spirit for years. Her husband passed away not too long ago and she has been amazing:) Junior aka Joel aka will steal the show has the chaps on, he gets right in my face and it is all I can do to not bust out laughing. His beautiful wife is Amy the pink fluffy costume- they have a

beautiful baby son. The Rat Catcher is way funny in real life and likes to

tease me along with the Beast and Chester "5min". Crystal is in the salmon dress and has been awesome to help me with rides and pep talks. Her hair was gorgeous all curly and long it made me miss my long tresses. Alyssa and I have been friends from YW her hubby is also a Bishop in our Stake and they have these amazingly beautiful children and the whole family is very talented. I wish I could sing like she does! Ben and Sarah Ray are the bomb. I have loved being with them and it has helped me not miss Anthony as much- I still do but it has helped. They bought me horchata last night!!! YUM!!! Donella and Justina are my darling little YW who are in the play. What sweet talented girls they are and they make me feel so good. Linda has just amazed me. She is also one of my YW and is a wonder. She is so professional and beautiful and brings her role alive and keeps in character the whole time- a feat with all our pranks:) Madame Barracuda is fun and nice and her little boy is really doing great at his role. Smoky Fish has this killer smile and is so respectful to me. The crew are tops. David has been a genius. Jamie is just my hero, she is so graceful and funny and talented. I LOVE her. Ann and Becky are the true life behind making this a success. I am sad already for it to end:( Can't wait until tonight!
