The King and E

Tonight the 4 younger kids and I went to the high school to watch E and the rest of the cast of The King and I in their final dress rehearsal. I was able to walk around and take lots of pics from all kinds of angles.

E looked so different! My daughter who only wears her blonde hair loose or in a low ponytail and wants nothing to do with make-up was wearing stage make-up and had her hair painted black and up in a bun!

E is in the middle wearing the blue shirt with the gold sash.

There were a number of costume changes. Many of the costumes were very colorful, and some were quite elaborate.
(E is on the floor just behind and to the left of the child with the white circle on his head.)

E happened to look straight at my camera when I took this one during the scene in which the king's children are woken up in the middle of the night.

Scene where the king is dying
(E is way on the left.)

The whole musical was wonderfully done, including the music by the high school orchestra. The king and Anna were cast especially well. Of course, E was my favorite actor/actress on stage! :)

I suppose I should also mention the fine job done by the sound and light crew of which my husband was the head!

You did a great job, E! I'm so proud of you!
