Merrily We Roll Along - Lake Mary High School

 I really enjoyed seeing this production on YouTube.

The students did a great job and this show was just really well put together. I had heard of "Merrily We Roll Along" years ago and I fell in love with the song "Old Friends" and was now happy to see how it came together in this show. I wish nothing but the best for the senior class as they take their talents out into a strange new world! And I look forward to more shows from Lake Mary High School in the future!

Hamilton (tv)

...I miss theater so much.

Chuck and I watched "Hamilton" tonight. My eyes were everywhere: the lights, the one-piece set, the orchestra pit, the wings, the choreography....I was watching everything, even timing the places where my ASMs backstage could run to the bathroom when needed. This was so well-done. It's very modern, as a history story goes, but Lin did a great job with this. History with a taste of modern. A story, well, several stories, in one tale around one man. I do wonder what happened to Hamilton's daughter, but that's something I can look up. My husband actually liked the show. He stayed awake the entire time, which was good. Me? My heart is thawing for being frozen from theater for so many years. I do miss it. So much work goes into this, and I'm glad Lin made a deal with Disney to air this. There are so many people around the world who couldn't afford tickets. Couldn't afford airplane flights and hotels to New York or Chicago or London to see it. And there's nothing in the world like a live audience and their applause. Ever.
