The Play is the Thing

Emma's Middle School put on a great production of Beauty and the Beast to two SOLD OUT shows!  The costumes were great, the choreography and set design was spectacular!  Just think what they could do with a real auditorium!


This is actually the finale of the first show, but gives you a good view of the area they had to work with--just a part of the cafeteria area, blocking one hallway at the end of the room.


Emma played three parts:  narrator, lady with baby, and one of the silverware dancers during the "Be Our Guest" song.


Belle was played by Theresa, who is much more Filippino than French...alphabetically, it's close.


Gaston.  The tallest guy in the class.  Probably shouldn't be looking into a career as a singer, but played the part well, nonetheless.  Le Fou, his sidekick, is a 6th grader who clearly hasn't gone through that teenage growth spurt.  He did a great job!



Awww...sweet young lady with a baby.  She refused to allow Kelly to buy her the two-headed baby they saw at the store, so she opted to bring one of her baby dolls from home.


So sweet.  Look at the sausage curls on her!  It took a TON of hair product and they only lasted about four hours.


The Silly Girls...swooning over Gaston.


Crazy old Maurice!  He's actually Ben's reading buddy.


Cogsworth & Lumiere.  Both did a great job, but Lumiere "lit" up the show!  


Mrs. Potts, played by Emma's best buddy.  She had a couple of solos and did a fabulous job!


"Beauty & the Beast" solo.  


Please be our guest!!


Joseph as "the Beast"


Silverware dancer!  The girl to the right is supposed to be a napkin.  Not so sure about that...


The wardrobe, "Madame de la Grande Bouche" and the french maid, "Babette".


The dance with Beauty.  Or is it a dance with the Beast?


Miraculously, the Beast is transformed into another student, who has virtually no lines!


Applause!!

  1. I wish I could have seen the play, it looks like it was fabulous! Give Miss Emma a big, belated, congratulatory hug from me.

Sorry--I'm getting a lot of junk emails, so moderation is necessary. Maybe just allowing members of the blog to comment would be easier...or those with Google accounts...let me know if that would be easier.
