This year was Disney's The Little Mermaid. Emma was cast as an eel. Sydney was Flounder. Aiden was a fish and a frog and Taylor was asked to be a butterfly. I wish I could post the video because then you would understand how amazing the production is. It is definitely a high school level acting and singing. Not to mention the costumes and sets which are out of this world! A sister duo in our ward directs it each year. It seems all the LDS families step up and help sew costumes, build sets, sell tickets, teach voice, work backstage etc.

Aiden sobbed when I made him wear makeup. But, then he saw all his friends wearing it and he decided he would be okay with it.
The seagulls even learned a tap dance. They were great!
Emma's hair, makeup and costume was definitely a highlight of the show. They had lights up one side and in their hair. All the sparkles and glitter really caught the lights and
they looked like electric eels. I am still trying to get green glitter cleaned up in the bathroom.
These three rocked their "Poor Unfortunate Souls" number.

Isabelle and Emma had to slither and move the whole time they were on stage. They came up with discrete hand signals so they could mirror each other's moves. Who knew Emma could be so good and being creepy and eel-like.
When moms help out a lot (I was in charge of all advertising and tickets), the directors let their little ones play a small role. Taylor was thrilled when they asked her to be a butterfly. She loved her ten seconds of stage time.
Sydney got the coveted role of Flounder. She knocked it out of the park. Here she is doing her solo number "She's in Love". This girl has no fear on stage. She was also a crowd favorite.
Don't you love the blue hair?!
The kids did five shows in three days. We were exhausted!
Here is Sdyney and Ariel (Zoe) They had to crawl under the stage so they can pop up in the water.
