lion king

Today both casts practiced Lion King, as we had to show the children the following day. I walked in there thinking it would be just a normal rehearsal  turns out everyone was 150% into it, it was emotional and loving. We came together we performed it as if it was our last time together forever. In a certain mindset it is. However it beautiful, we became one we cried, we laughed, we sweated and we bruised. It was such a heart warming hour. 

outreach

Each week we are put at two sites to go and visit children and show them their show and I am put with the best cast, we have the best amount of fun in the car, in a sites and I love going each week. 



last time

Its our last week before finals, and everyone is getting more and more excited about what the future summer holds for them. It got to much for Isiah and Mckenna in Music Theory so they slept. Paddy and I went crazy from the Skittles Travis gave out, and Hanna and I got excited because we booked our tickets home. I will never forget the 9 months in which i spent every day with some of the greatest people. 




mac n cheese

Our time as roomates is coming to an end so soon, as we will be leaving to go on tour or go home. So Lea and I did our dance tech final together and we chose Bollywood, it was so much fun it took us all of one evening to create it. We just lived, it was our last time to perform together we just had fun with it. Then Taylor and I love Mac n Cheese so we decided to have a date night, we made a pot of Mac n Cheese and sat at the table together and just enjoyed this time. It makes me sad to think we wont be living together soon, but it has been one of the best years of my life.

disneyland.

On Friday, I got to experience Disneyland California. I have only ever been to Paris and I used to go every year as a child, so Disney had a lot to live up to, it did not disappoint at all. Infact it blew my mind, it was literally an american size Disney, the rides were bigger, the parks were huge and it was magical. We knew people who work there so being able to see them perform was perfect, Tessa had never been and I watched her excitement grow with each step we took; like the other children with their families. We watched the Alice and Wonderland show which Jimmys sister played Alice, we saw Kayla as a princess in the parade and we saw the most spectacular World Of Colour show. That itself was the most breathtaking show i have ever seen ever. I loved every second of being at Disney; seeing teenagers dance against each other, the shows, eating lunch with a live jazz band, the sunshine, the people and being able to share this experience with people I care alot about was the best thing. I lived as a child again that day. I LOVE DISNEY.










pool day

Today was one of the first days and last days that we would get off in nearly a month; so we took advantage of it. We slept in till late afternoon, we laid by the pool all day, ate pizza, drank diet coke and enjoyed each others company. It was one of the best days off we had in a long time. We did nothing and took the day to be just us and friends hanging out, not having to worry about shows, finals and rehearsals. In a few weeks time our New Kid year will be over, we will all be going on different tours to different countries and we wont ever perform as a family on our own together again. Its a sad thought but we are about to live out our dreams, see peoples lives transform, make a difference and give kids hope. Its all worth it, we just have to cherish the moments like this we have left. I love my New Kid family.

stagecraft

For Stagecraft this week we were given a musical in which we had to look at the history, the context and interpet it in our own way; through our costumes and make up! we were given Hairspray so we just had fun David dressed up as a women, I was Tracey, Caity was Momma, Brooke was Penny and Alivia,  another character. It was brilliant. We then learnt how to manager a sound board; in which David and I just danced around to.
