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

 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!
