Warning: Picture Overload
The kids were in the play Oliver! this past weekend. We had SO much fun doing it. Let me give you a quick rundown of their characters:
Chelsey: She was the Strawberry seller and got her very own solo
Spencer: a townsman and also got a few lines in the bar scene
Whitley: Bet - she was Nancy's shadow. She had two songs and a lot of stage time
Stephen: Bow Street Runner - police officer. He had several lines as well
Rhett: Fagin's Gang - these were the lead orphans. He also had a line.
Brooklyn: She was an orphan/townsgirl/hairdresser. The hairdresser part was behind the scenes
Dalin: orphan/assistant to the shoeshiner
Boldon: Fagin's Gang - lead orphans and cute as heck. He had a part all to himself even though there were no lines.
Katelyn: cast mascot. She came to most rehearsals and perfomances. She can sing every single song and do many of the dances!
Nick: of course, back stage crew.
Me: Choreographer
Chelsey is in the red apron

Stephen as a helper in the orphanage
Whitley in the yellow dress
Josh Jensen - Oliver
Bo and his new friend Max hanging with Fagin (John Clayton)
Rhett with his newly broken arm
Whitley, Tucker, Sydney and Josh - these four were inseparable
Dalin right up front "singing from his toes" as Molly put it
We lost a girl for this scene so Whitley got to step in as an extra
Rhett and Bo
"What a little crook!" Bo got to have a little moment
Because of where Rhett was on the stage and my inability to use a flash, I didn't get many good pics of him
Spencer, Stephen and Chelsey all right in the middle
Whitley coming to the aid of her best friend and mentor
This was Spencer's first show, but he was a natural!
