Newsies

Ashley's school fall musical was Newsies. She loved being part of the cast. Her part in the play was one of the Brooklyn Newsies. We got a couple of tickets to each of the performances and took turns going to support her..

On the last night, some her friends came to the show, so that was fun for her. 2 of these friends are no longer at the school, so it was fun for her to catch up with them.

On one of the nights, they had the special treat of having Elder and Sister Rasband in the audience. Their grandson, Camden, was cast as Jack Kelly in the play, so they were there to support him. He said some things to the cast after the show and then they took a picture together.

I happened to have seats right next to them that night and there was a constant flow of people greeting them anytime there was a break in the play. It made me grateful to not be a celebrity.

And here are a couple of videos of Ashley dancing.

Ashley was so sad when the play was over. But she did have more free time after it was done, so that was nice. Although, she started up with practices for the next school play a week or 2 after it was over, so she didn't have much of a break.
