Sendra and I are going to go see the dress rehersal next friday! :) I can't wait to see M. in the lead!! What a momumental period in his dance career.

It's amazing how much they have all changed in the past handful of years.

Oh, good -- I'm so glad you'll get to see it. They've made a number of small changes in the show which I think are improvements -- not to mention both your guys are awesome in it!

Greetings, Jennebauer -- thanks for the comment..... petienka December 4 2006, 17:37:38 UTC

But it's weird. I replied here to you yesterday -- yet it's not posted now? What happened? Oh well, let me try again....

As it turns out, I haven't actually properly watched the show yet --only snatches of it from the wings as I helped out backstage. I did buy tickets for the last show though, and will watch with my parents, sister and her kids. Picture the scenario: in the audience, the last show and the culmination of many long months of hard work, surrounded by family, and my kids onstage with my son in a role he's worked his way up to over 6 or 7 years of dance training -- yes, I predict I will become very verklempt (if I dont' pass our from sheer relief first, heh)...!

WONDERFUL!!! Congrats to the Nutcrackser!

I remember visions of tulle in the previous years for you!! LOL XOXO!!

Thanks, Misty! petienka December 3 2006, 18:10:51 UTC

HA, the tulle-- eep, I don't think I've recovered from that experience STILL! Thank goodness my projects these past few years have been a little more 'reasonable' ...!
