Musical Theater

It’s Been Wonky

| Stacy

It was the fifth year that I worked on the cast party for the Finney Show, and the third year I worked with my friend Julie.
Pinterest had a kajillion ideas for the Wonka theme and it was a matter of reigning it in.

For the first time, both our husbands stayed to help decorate, and it was a very good thing that they did.   It took the four of us AND another four helping adults to get the room decorated in time.

Anything super and creative is from Julie.  I just bought some things from Amazon. 

(Oh – I made the candy doo-dads hanging from the ceiling and the lollypops on the wall.)

I’ll back track just a bit into March so that I can properly highlight the kids’ experiences with Willy Wonka at the Charles Finney school this spring.

Nigel played Mr. Salt, the father of Veruca Salt, the girl who always got what she wanted.

It just so happened that the young lady who played Veruca is the niece of my friend and co-worker, Myrna.  Small world.  Smile

Marie and Tabitha had roles as dancing cooks and squirrels.

They were supposed to have these silly, snooty, “French” looks on their faces. 

They were so funny.

Stewart did not have an on-stage role this year.  He was hired to help with audio.  He did an outstanding job.

And he didn’t have to wear make-up.  Winking smile
