Musicals and Fun for Jayde!

As most of you know, I'm quite the theatre fanatic and therefore quite the theatre goer. That also means I have quite a few friends also involved in theatre and I get to go and see the productions they are a part of! This summer we've already been to quite a few musicals! :) Which makes me very happy. Jayde got to go to 2 of those musicals with us!

First we saw "Funny Girl" at the Scera outdoor theatre in Orem. It was quite the long musical...and it got a little chilly outside and Jayde was snuggled down tight in blankets but it was still fun to go see! I love the music from this musical...classic. It was also really fun to see two of my friends from school perform. Camee and Heather were both awesome! So fun!

Then we got the awesome chance (in the same week) to go see Chris's brothers Dustin and Bryson in the musical "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers." I'd never seen this show, and I'll admit I was a little leary about it but I really liked it! I heard somewhere that when this musical was on Broadway it didn't do so hot...and I'm not really sure why. The production was really well done; costumes, set and dancing were fabulous! And Dustin and Bryson were pretty good too. :)

Along with the musicals this summer I have been able to see Audra McDonald perform in "110 in the Shade" and then go see "The Wedding Singer" and the West Valley Hale. Audra McDonald is a 4 time Tony Award winner and was only here in town for a 2 week period performing her original role for a fund raiser. It was absolutely amazing. And "The Wedding Singer" was so hilarious! The music is so fun and the show itself was just so well done. It's been quite the musical filled summer so far and I love it! I think Jayde likes the music too. Maybe we've got a dramatic one on our hands? :)
