Mary Poppins!!

After months of preparation and lots of after school and late night rehearsals, Abby performed as Mrs. Corry and in the ensemble of her school's presentation of "Mary Poppins."

On Friday, the cast made the front page of the local newspaper. You can see Abby as the crazy pink-haired lady on the left in this newspaper clip...







She was very excited for her first big performance. The kids and their teachers all worked so hard on this production and it showed. The show was amazing!!

I was able to go both Friday and Saturday nights and was completely floored by the talent of singing, dancing and acting that these middle-school kids displayed.



Here is one of the ensemble pieces that Abby was in called "Precision & Order."



Part of the lighted umbrella scene too...




Abby had a lot of people from the ward and other friends who came to watch both Friday and Saturday night. Our whole family came on Saturday night including my sister and her family and some other ward members.

Here she is after the show with Olivia who played Jane. They were both so thrilled with how everything turned out!!


I caught their principal, Mr. Mauriello taking a selfie with these two sweet girls too!


A shot of Abby with her friend and neighbor Lauren who played the Bird Woman.

I didn't get any pictures of Abby in her costume as Mrs. Corry so I hope to get my hands on some soon. It was quite the getup with her pink spiky wig and crazy clothes. Mrs. Corry was the one who came up with the letters for "Supercalafagilisticexpialadocious."

It was an amazing production and so fun to see Abby right in her element. She LOVED it!!
