Jasmine had a great voice and was definitely beautiful, but someone needed to teach her how to walk and stand like a princess. She was a more like the gangster princess. Aladdin was a likeable guy --though he definitely didn't seem like the princess's type and he drove me crazy up on stage because the guy was always tugging on his pants. It was like some nervous habit he had of constantly hiking them up and then just holding on to the top of them. They were kinda big and sloppy because he needed to do a quick costume change into Prince Ali, so he had that costume stuffed underneath the street rat one. I told Kennon after the 2nd show that someone needed to tell him to stop messing with his pants, it was driving me crazy. At the final show I found out it wasn't a nervous habit after all, but he clearly had reason to hold on to his pants. Right after meeting the princess, I noticed that the hold on his pants had become constant and now he was frantically tucking. He appeared to be experiencing a costume malfunction. Part of his prince costume was showing out the top and now I spied a big rip down the side of his leg. Just then he was seized by the guards, and held with his hands behind his back. With no free hand to hold on, down went the pants and there was Prince Ali for all to to see. . . about 3 acts ahead of schedule. Brent and I were on the 2nd row, just busting up at him trying to hang on for dear life. Hopefully his parents weren't sitting behind us and didn't think it was funny.
I love watching my children on stage, though I do have to admit that this years production had a hard time competing with last spring's production of Seussical with the cutest little elephant bird you have ever seen.

that's so awesome that their school does such big productions every year! It looks like you have some actresses in your family & they look so comfortable on stage.
