Hey guys! My mom took about 14 awesome videos last night. They take FOREVER to load onto photobucket, but I have a few hours...so I'm doing that now.
The show was incredible last night. It was the best we've done. After the show was the cast party at one of the cast members' house. It was WAYYY too much fun. Every year, they do this thing called the "paper plate awards" and they are what they sound like. The seniors make them for the entire cast, and the juniors make them for the seniors. They take paper plates, and make awards based on something that has happened or whatever.
I got the "Best Wipe Out" award. One time at rehearsal, we were practicing Belle. I had on socks (it was the Alaska socks you sent me, Mike!) and the baker (my "hubby"
) said "Marie, the bigets, hurry up!" and I took one step to run after him and I was on my face. It was HYSTERICAL, and Kristina said she knew when I got up and laughed at myself that I'd get that award.
The awards were hysterical. I'll give you a few examples. This one kid, Dalton, in the opening scene would "stage talk" with us, but he'd talk about the most random things. So when we'd call him on it, he'd say "its comic relief" and it really wasn't funny at all lol. So he got the "We know it's comic relief, but shut the hell up" award.
Another one was my friends Alex and Chris, every day they would come into the rehearsal 5 minutes late, from the hallway. usually this award goes to like the "couple" of the cast, but since they were close enough they got the "what the HELL are you doing in the hallway?" award.
Peter (Gaston) got the "Not a bad part for a freshman" award. My friend Emily got the "I'm a tap dancer, get me out of this kick line/Yellow is not my color" award.
and during the award ceramony, one of our directors went FLYING up the stairs and all we heard was "Is the baby coming?" now..our director is into her 50s...so we were kinda like "uhhh...." and then we found out that her son and daughter-in-law were in the hospital in labor with her Grandson!
So she was gone in the blink of an eye lol.
Then we watched Beauty and the Beast the Disney movie, which was too fun to watch with the cast. Not only did everyone sing their parts (and TOTALLY show up the movie cast), but like this one girl, Izzy, sings the one line in Belle that is sung by the old bald woman in the movie. It was just too much fun.
Today is the last show (*tear*) and its also the day to mess around a little too much. The kid playing the father, Chuckles, is going to wear one of the silly girl wigs, and we're getting there a few hours early to trash the boy's dressing room, among other things that are bound to happen.
Now I'm waiting for the videos to finish uploading! I shall return.
