Beauty and the Beast

In case you haven't been able to get hold of us lately, its because we have been at the theater. We have had a fun family time working together on Beauty and the Beast this spring.

In his day job, Everett built this adorable house for Belle and every night he sang to her. Jerry, Nellie , Travis and Lindsay were all villagers although Travis and Lindsay eventually became enchanted objects.

The enchanted objects were adorable, but I am not sure that Lindsay ever believed that the costume I made her looked much like a mop (keep in mind that baby Clara was hiding undertaht mop costume). Note Travis in turquoise, first as a baker, later as a spatula.

Andy and Ric saw this show at least 20 times and have loved every minute. Andy was voted by the cast as their favorite audience because of his easy laugh. He knows all the songs and almost all the dialog. I am hoping the practice will work as a kind of speech therapy for him :).

It will be a bit of a shock to go back to real life next week but there is still plenty to be done for the arrrival of Rosemary and Dominic. And this fall we have Jekyll and Hyde - one of my favorites!
