Last night, my darling kids and I went to the Off Broadway Theater last night to watch "The Twelve Dancing Princesses". My friend, Gerry Graves, was Howard the Shoemaker; he was hilarious as always.
It was kinda nostalgic for me: I've been in the show twice. The first time I performed in "12DP" was the original cast. It was a great experience for me, and one that helped shape my love for musical theater. The second time I was a freshly-graduated-from-high-school-18 year old... on the wings of the closing of "Seven Brides For Seven Brothers" (oh, how I love that show!). Gerry directed "12DP" and was the Shoemaker. My dad was the King, my mom was my Lady in Waiting: I was Princess February. Oh, the memories!Any way, the show was cute. My kids had a blast, and I fell in love with my kids over and over again. I love that they love theater! Next stop on my list: "South Pacific" in Sandy!
