Go, Go, Go, Joseph



This is show week at our house - it makes for a fun and crazy week.

Wednesday was dress rehearsal so I went and took hundred's of pictures. I have posted some on Facebook but will post some more here on the blog too.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is such a fun show! There is no dialogue - only singing and dancing. Lots of catchy tunes and the costuming is so pretty in the show. I have now seen it 5 times (3 performances and 2 rehearsals) and will see it four more before it's done and I don't think I will get tired of it! And I don't think I'll get the song Go, Go, Go Joseph out of my head any too soon!

After seeing it Friday night, my dad commented that he thinks it is the best show the school has done and they've done some pretty amazing shows!

Jim picked Cali up from the airport Thursday night while I was at opening night and got her to the school just in time for the Meet and Greet afterwards. Cali had fun surprising people and there were lots of squeals and hugs!

Friday Cali and I went downtown to get her hair cut at the beauty school where a friend of hers is going and then we went to lunch and wandered around the Pearl District and NW 23rd for a while. We picked up Tessa after school and headed to the mall for some more girl bonding time before Tessa's evening performance.


Tessa had lots of friends from school and church attend performances including Grandma and Grandpa Best and our neighbors the Osbornes.

It was fun to see the younger girls ask her for her autograph.

Tessa is a member of the company but is also the featured dancer and has a spotlight dance she does with one of the brother's all to herself. She looks beautiful and so graceful and pretty cute in the little french can can outfit I made for her. The lighting during her dance number is pretty dark so it is hard to get good pictures although I do have a few I will post later.

Her dance partner, James, and Tessa did a demonstration in the hall though of one of their moves - she does the splits three times in a row during the dance and always gets lots of groans and applause from the audience when she does it!

The costuming for the show is wonderful and two of my favorites are Pharaoh/Elvis' costume. Jim is still searching through his Old Testament to find Elvis in it!

And of course Joseph's Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat is truly amazing!!!

More pictures of the show to come soon!
