Let the Performances Begin!!

OPENING NIGHT
So tonight has probably been one of the best opening nights ive ever had!! It was so powerful! i absolutely loved my very last opening night on the Box Elder stage! The first time during "son of Man"when i jump on the audience's  seat, and hearing their laughs and reactions were the best ever! Everyone performed with such Amazing energy! Even when we were all so tired from dancing our legs off! But i just absolutely loved the feeling at the very end during the finale when the crowd was cheering so loud that i could barely hear the singing and music! We had a full house almost, and a standing ovation!! Tonight it felt like all our hard work these past months paid off so much! and I loved that feeling! Its my very favorite in the entire world! i don't want Tarzan to end!! But it was definitely such a great way and start to open such a powerful and amazing musical!  

My dad was able to come home this weekend, and got to see the show! I was so excited for my family to come and see it!! We have had a full house every single night!! Its crazy! we even had to add another night!! So exciting!:) Every night has been so much fun performing with my friends and amazing people in the cast!! 

Closing night :( 
wow. there have been so many emotions running through my head tonight as i realized this is my last performance on this box elder stage. It seems like it was only last week we were opening for Joseph. my very first High school play! now here we are, closing night for Tarzan! Oh my goodness! well, id have to say it was a pretty successful closing night! before we went on stage we gave gifts and awards to everyone that helped us have this show. and when Ashley gave Mrs day her with tears in her eyes, I couldn't help but cry a little too. Mrs day is one incredible, talented lady that has helped us ALL grow so much in this cast!! Then she had us lay ion the floor one final time, and read t us our journey from auditions, to now. I think by then, everyone was welling up with tears, well the seniors anyway. Then, one final time we did circle up. "one for all and all of one, the best-est show we've ever done" The whole performance went really well! At the very end right after kerchek dies, and the curtain closed that's where i and everyone else broke down and started hugging everyone, and realizing. I cant even explain trying to do the finale trying to hold back your tears, but hearing the audience go crazy. It made me realize that everything we worked for all these past few months. it was definitely worth it!!!! I wouldn't change this experience for anything! "Though were different, deep inside us, were not that different at all"
