I just thought I'd share what's new. Our stake is doing the musical Esther and the King. (This picture is from the old-school version.) I haven't done anything with musical theater since highschool, but I thought a stake musical sounded like something we should participate in. I actually got Austin to come to the audition with me, and they invited him to be part of the play, too. He was a good support.I was cast as one of Esther's handmaidens, and Austin will be in the big choir of "villagers." Even though our parts are small, I think it will be fun. The performance is in March. I know it will be a little bit of a time commitment, but I figured that it won't get easier down the road. (We're home every evening, so it will be good to get out once or twice a week for rehearsals.) I really like a lot of the cast members, so I'll actually look forward to practices! For those of you who haven't seen the new Liken version of Esther, this is my favorite scene.

I think that is so cool that your stake is putting on a musical; I wish we could see it. I'll bet you'll have fun participating! By the way, The Hunger Games was ridiculously good! Thanks for the tip!
How fun! I'm glad you guys will have a chance to get out of the house and be in the musical. That would be fun to see.
I've never seen the Liken version before - thanks for posting that clip. I know Summer, the girl who played Esther. She and I went to a summer camp with the BYU Young Ambassadors when we were teenagers.

Wow! Sounds fun. Our stake is doing a King Lamoni production that I'll be part of as well (just a pianist). Ours is in May. I LOVE the story of Esther. I bet it will be amazing.
Tonight was fun! I think the musical is going to be great! I am looking forward to learning the dance on Saturday. By the way, thanks for the nice comment on my blog. You are so sweet!
