Annie Jr and Legally Blonde Jr Shows

Stonehaven worked with Brylliant Acting again over the whole school year to produce their annual school show. This year they decided to make it for those in grades 3-8. Mia was not originally going to be in this show because we let her participate in Little Mermaid in the fall, JTF festival in January, and Legally Blonde in the spring. However, Brynn let Mia know they needed to fill the role of Warbucks on a couple of days because the other actress wasn't able to be in all performances. We caved to Mia's begging and agreed to let her join the cast after JTF as long as she showed she could keep her grades up (she pulled straight A's both semesters!). Not a big surprise, she absolutely loved it and had such a great time. It truly is so much fun to see her on stage doing what she loves. She made an awesome Warbucks and did a fantastic job! Here are a few scenes she was in.

She and Annie did a great job with the song "I Don't Need Anything But You." I uploaded a video of this performance to YouTube. You can see it here (https://youtu.be/0nsX74l2Qds).

This was such a sweet cast!
We love watching this girl perform!
It's always fun when friend like Eliana and family come to watch too. We were so glad Bama was able to come over from Birmingham; Granna and Papa, Judy, Sid and Elaine all came too.

Just two weeks after Annie, Mia performed in Brylliant's spring production of Legally Blonde Jr. as Enid Hoops, one of Elle's classmates at Harvard Law. She had a couple of other minor roles as a shopkeeper and beauty shop lady too. Here are some pictures from that performance.


Learning how to Bend and Snap in this scene!

They had a real dog in there to play Bruiser Woods!


Mia didn't love that Enid got a perm and she had to wear this particular wig, but it was crucial to the play as Elle asks Enid to pour water on her hair; at that moment, the murderer, Chutney, explains you can't put water on a new perm or it would break down the ammonium thioglycolate and destroy it. This is all the evidence Elle needs to win the case!
This was another fun show to watch Mia perform in!
