Alyssa has been doing Up with Kids musical theater company for the past three years, and has loved it. This year the show was called the Wonderful Witches of Oz. It was a combination of Wicked and the Wizard of Oz. Anyone who knows Alyssa knows that her favorite musical is Wicked, so she was so excited all year long. When casting time came around she hoped she would get a good part, and as you can see her part was Dorothy. The only thing that would have made her any happier would have been the part of Elphaba. Don't you think she makes a good blond little Dorothy?
In this scene Alyssa had her one solo. "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" She worked so hard on that song, it was a little to high for her, but she did a good job! Alyssa memorized all of her lines all by herself! A few times I would practice with her and be amazed that she already knew all of her lines. That is how I know she love's to act, I didn't once have to pester her to do it she did it because she enjoyed it. It is so nice as a parent to have your child find something they love to do, and will work hard on there own to improve.
Here is Alyssa in the green Emerald citizen costume with all the other kids in her class.
This year Alyssa was able to take with a few friends in our neighborhood. Here she is with her friend Shayden Lee, aren't they cute? Thanks to her mom Jennifer for taking some of these great action shots of
Alyssa. What a great year, can't wait to see what she will get to do next year!
She was soo... good! Shayden would love to do it again next year too.
