Oliver!

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

 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!
