My Musical!
Okay, here are pictures from the musical! It was such a fun experience and my favorite show thus far. It took SO much, but totally worth it. I wish you could all live closer so you can see it. The pictures here are just a tiny portion of the pictures we have. The photographer took over 500!! This just shows most of the sets. This first is the final pose after the first number!
This is our lobby and it was probably my least favorite set. Our theme for the set was white, black and red...you'll understand!
The elevator is behind these cute girls. You can't see it, but there are opening and closing sliding doors.
Sincere Trust: The colors were fun for this scene! It was hard finding typewriters and desks, but working in a school, there are bound to be a few desks lying around! These girls are wearing tap shoes for a way cool number! Check out the candlestick phones. I'll have to get a close up on how we made them using plumbing supplies!
Speak easy!! "Nutty cracker Suite" was my favorite dance. So extremely fun!
But in the 20s with prohibition they weren't supposed to be drinking and they get caught by the cop. Our cop is the art teacher at the school! It was fun using him...he changed his line every night and one night he came out with toilet paper stuck on his shoe!
One of the big successes for me is these doors. I had 5 doors and we figured out how to attach them to the fly system (beams that can be raised and lowered by a pully system backstage).
I loved this kiss! After the kiss Jimmy turned and had this ridiculously goofy smile that I loved!!!
Window ledge for "I Turned the Corner".
The chinese men. LOVED them! One is actually a foreign exchange student from China!
Muzzy and her boys. I didn't like her songs before the show, but Keilani (the actress) is amazing and I get her songs stuck in my head more than the others. One of my tech's fell in love with her because of her voice.
And the surprise ending....the script calls for the chinese mother to come out for them after the bows. The students nominated me to make the cameo! So...there I am. It was a fun surprise!

We are so sad we missed the show! It looks awesome. The city line backdrop is perfect, and way to get all the doors to be on the fly system! Clever girl. I wish I could have been there to help and enjoy. Congrats on finishing the show and obviously making a difference in so many kids lives once again. You've got talent.
It was an awesome show from the beginning to the end. I loved seeing it 4 times! But then I never could resist Lindsey's theatre talents--on stage or behind.
