In the world-renowned Bikini Bottom... I am so insanely proud of these kids.
I have seen a lot of shows there. This was one of the best I have ever seen. I am the most biased. I am totally aware. But I am not alone in saying C in particular rocked it.
One of the directors told me straight out: "He is perfect for this role. He is so good." And I never ever in a million years would have thought that before seeing him, but holy moly guacamole was she right.
His voice teacher was actually shocked. Because in her words, "He had so much energy! He's usually so subdued at the studio."
And my girl in her first big role... was darling. I am so proud. It was so so great to see her personality shine and let her step out of the ensemble for the first time.
The post-show depression hit immediately and hit hard. C was in tears last night. But it's because he loved it so much and guys... he was so good!
Dang, C has found his passion! Congrats to your kids...is it creepy to wonder if there was a video recording of the musical? My littles would love to watch it!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Madeline — what an incredible night for both of them! You can just feel the joy and pride pouring out of this post. I love that the director and voice teacher both saw something so special in C, and your girl stepping into her first big role is just the sweetest milestone. No wonder the post‑show crash hit hard… that kind of magic stays with you. What a beautiful memory for all of you.
ReplyDeleteHow awesome! I can see why you’re so proud. What fun it must be to watch your kids perform on stage! None of our boys were into theater…but I do have a few grandkids who might be heading that direction. I can hardly wait.
