Cinderella - the final show

The final Cinderella show was for the other cast, so Avery was supposed to be the ensemble role. But, in the morning, we got an email that one of the other cast members was ill. They asked if Avery could come early and learn the role and fill in. She said yes, of course. When we got to the theater, we learned that the girl who was playing Joy in this cast was also ill and not coming. So, Avery got to play Joy again! They were down four castmates for the final show! The kids did great even with the hiccup!

Getting ready for the ball!

The show was great! Here they are doing their final curtain calls!

As always, Avery had a blast being a part of the show! A lot of the girls returned from the previous two shows she was in and there were new ones for this show that she became friends with! We are so proud of her and love watching her shine on stage! :)

Cinderella - Show #2 and #3

The second show of Cinderella was on Saturday at 3:00. Matt and Morgan were able to join for this show because her Saturday game got changed to 7:15PM. Mary Alice and Lucy also came. We ended up with an extra ticket, so my mom came again.

For Cinderella Show #3, the other cast was on. So, Avery just had an ensemble role. Matt ended up just going to that show by himself. I went to Morgan's game with her. Her team ended up winning 7-0. It was a fun game! The win meant that they went straight through to the championship game, bypassing the early Sunday morning semi-finals game (thank goodness!)

Cinderella - Opening Night

Avery's shows for her cast were Friday at 7:00 and Saturday at 3:00. The other two shows were on Saturday at 7:00 and Sunday at 3:00. We spent Friday getting ready! The girls and I went with my mom to get manicures. Avery wanted a pink French manicure. They turned out beautiful!

Then, it was time for hair and make-up!

Avery had to be at the theater by 5:00 for her show. For opening night, my parents and Beckett and Matt's Mom, Ruth, joined me at the show. Also, Avery's friends Cara and Maebel came to watch. Matt and Morgan couldn't come because she ended up having a soccer game at the same time.

Avery as Joy, Colleen as Portia and Gianna as the Stepmother.

Here they are in their ball gowns.

Here's the ball scene where they all take turns dancing with the prince.

Afterwards, we got pictures with Avery... she loves getting flowers!

Cinderella Tech Week

We made it to Tech Week for Avery's musical, Cinderella! Tryouts were back in early April and they had so many people try out that they ended up having two casts - the Pumpkin cast and the Glass Slipper cast! Avery is Joy, one of the stepsisters, in the Pumpkin cast. In the other cast, she is part of then ensemble.

Here she is ready with hair and make-up all done!
