And another favorite from the musical

To set up this scene ... Close to the end of intermission, the curtains are open and the cast starts to meander in on stage at the HS Prom Dance.  There are some fun interactions (punch table is set up, someone spikes the punch, nerds ask beautiful girls to dance, etc).  Julia is the cue of when Act 2 starts.  When she walks into her bedroom (Stage Left) and poses on her bed, the house lights go off, the stage lights go on and the scene begins - all in a split second!  Julia sits like a statue (a beautiful one at that) gazing into the audience up the aisle for the first 5 minutes of the scene.  The dance begins ... and then Julia sings a song.

This clip begins with Julia turning on her radio.  Her friend, Madeline G., is the "radio announcer" and sings the duet portion.  Julia is at home on prom night (nothing like the movie where Sandy is at the school dance "hand jive contest").  To the left of Julia, the prom is going on while she is singing It's Raining On Prom Night.




If you ever wondered what an angel sounds like .... you just heard one.

I just watched all of the musical clips with my daughter, we loved them and she kept asking to watch them again and again. She did such a wonderful job, and she does have the voice of an angel! You must be so proud of her. :)
