oh, the things you can think!

Seussical went great last week! Here are some pictures...

From left to right: Wickersham Brother, Mayzie la Bird, Gertrude McFuzz, Cat in the Hat!

Mayzie la Bird and Cat in the Hat in final bows!

The Cat in the Hat has a stethoscope hanging from her neck, because the Cat played many different parts, which is why this part is so cool! Good accents and humor are a necessity in order to play this quirky role!

These are the Bird Girls, and then me on the right is Mayzie la Bird. 

The Bird Girls look up to Mayzie because of her beauty, but Mayzie isn't too beautiful on the inside!

This is me, Mayzie, with the Sour Kangaroo and Baby Kangaroo. The three of us were the meanest characters in the show. Sour/Baby Kangaroo had attitudes and disliked change in the Jungle of Nool. Mayzie la Bird was more of the popular girl who thought of nothing but herself. 

This is Mr. Mayor, the mayor of Whoville. Actually, a girl played him in our show. But a sleek black tuzxedo, bright red bow tie, and gray hairspray made her kind of look like a man!

Mayzie's makeup was complete with lots of red blush (which is washed off in this picture), way too much purple eye shadow, and red lipstick. Giant chandelier earrings and a bedazzled headband completed her face.

Her costume was a plain purple dress hidden by pounds of red feather boas. Red fishnet tights, long red gloves, and glittery Dorothy-style red heels added to her bad-girl flavor. Also, a huge dark pink feather tail added to her "beauty" and was very important to the show.

This picture is of the Sour Kangaroo, the Baby Kangaroo, and the Wickersham Brothers. These jungle characters stirred up lots of trouble for Horton!

Sorry for not posting in a while, and sorry for the lack of pictures. More will be up soon, maybe with some videos too! Don't forget to check out my other new blog in the works, It's Tea Time!

Toodli-doooooo!

                    I just wanna say a quick sorry to all my followers... I haven't posted in so long! I just got back from vacation, then a wedding out of town. Exams start this week, followed by Seussical, and then more exams, and then the dance recital! May is a crazy month for me! I don't know if I will be able to post for a really long time, so if that happens, just know I have not given up on this blog. I am just too busy!

Toodles for now!

P.S. Don't forget to follow my new blog, It's Tea Time!

It's Tea Time!

Get excited! 'Cause I have another blog! It's called It's Tea Time! It will feature anything from the best ingredients to my tea travels in London. (which have yet to happen!)

If you like...

a) tea,

b) travel,

c) photography, or

d) my blog...

Then I'm pretty sure that you will like It's Tea Time!

I felt really dumb when I recently realized I STILL haven't said anything to all of you about my obsession with tea. So, hopefully this blog will make up for it. :)

Toodles!

GREASE is the word!

Hey everyone! I haven't been posting a lot recently, so I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. I've been so so so so busy! Anyway, last night I was watching Grease on ABC Family, and while I was watching I realized I haven't yet posted about this popular movie and "everybody's favorite sing-along!" We're doing it next year for our spring musical at school! Can't wait! Anyway, I'm not one to write reviews (I might start doing that though...) as you know. I just like to post pictures and give you a link to Wikipedia or something. So here's some pictures from... Grease!

To check out more on the show/movie, go to IMDb! All photo credits to Fan Pop.

Toodles!!!

an old photo!

I don't know if I've shown you guys this before, but I really like it! Both my dad and I are fighting for the best composition. (This was not posed!)

Toodli-doodli-doodles!

P.S. Sorry I haven't posted in so long! Like the new title picture?

Toodli-doo-da!!!!

Seussical "Previews!"

On Tuesday, Horton, Gertrude McFuzz, Sour Kangaroo, and I- Mayzie la Bird- performed at the 6th grade orientation for our school! We sang songs (Biggest Blame Fool: Sour Kangaroo, All; Alone in the Universe: Horton; Notice Me, Horton: Gertrude McFuzz, Horton; How Lucky You Are: Mayzie la Bird; Mayzie at the Circus: Mayzie la Bird; and Amayzing Horton: Mayzie la Bird, Horton!) from the show and threw on random costumes and stuck some fake plants here and there to set the scene!

The rising 6th graders would go from class to class to learn about the cirriculum and in between "classes" we were in the hall performing for them! It was so fun! I can't wait till May, the actual show!

Anyway, here are some pictures of our last-minute costumes.

Toodles!

P.S. This post will be edited soon about the costumes, so check back!

"Anything Goes" Review

This is a review from The Broadway Critic Blog, written by Spencer Williams. I love Sutton Foster, so I decided to post this! But be sure you know I do not own this. I did not write this.

11MA

"Anything Goes, Roundabout Theatre Company’s newest revival, is absolutely de-lovely.

It’s delightful.

It’s delicious in every respect.

Not only is it one of the best revivals I have seen in recent years, it’s one of the best shows that I’ve seen on Broadway in a long time. While other Broadway shows are trying to push the envelope, Anything Goes ends up being good-ole fashioned musical theatre fun. It doesn’t need to be technically over-produced like Spider-man: Turn Off the Dark, or pushing the limits on subject matter like in Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s musical, The Book of Mormon because Anything Goes is a classic....

Now to talk about the formidable Sutton Foster. Let’s just say this: if she doesn’t win the Tony Award for this portrayal of Reno Sweeney, I’m going to be flabbergasted. She sings it better than I’ve ever heard before (her belting was sublime), dances it with ease and finds nuance in the script that no one ever knew was there. As Lord Oakleigh would say, “She is the dog’s pajamas.” She is one of the few actors on the Broadway stage that is a true triple threat. She is a becoming a true Broadway legend....."

Toodli-doo-da!!!

P.S. Again, I did NOT write any of this. This is all the work of Spencer Williams, from The Broadway Critic Blog.

you're never fully dressed without a smile!

Don't you just love how horses are so photogenic?

amayzing mayzie! (part 2)

Mayzie la Bird from "Seussical"

Mayzie la Bird is all about glitz, glam, and boy birds. She loves the frills and effortlessly looks perfect all the time, what with her bushy beautiful tail and all. Mayzie is a girly self-centered girl bird who loves the spotlight, being the center of attention, beaches, and having fun with some boy birds. "Toodles" is her favorite word.

Actually, she is very successful in being the center of attention. She is popular and even has a few Mayzie Fan Clubs!

Behind all the glitter, though, is a timid girl bird with almost the shyness equivalent of that weirdo Gertrude McFuzz. So many years back, Mayzie la Bird fixed herself up and headed over to Doctor Dake, where she got a huge tail and a whole lot of confidence.

Ever since then Mayzie la Bird was known as "amayzing." If she hadn't once been the dork on the block, she would not have felt sorry for Gertrude and told her the secret to a fabulous tail.

Gertrude didn't look so amayzing with her big tail though. Mayzie then decided to let it go, because it only mattered if she was beautiful. Which she was. The whole giant-tail thing worked so much better on flamboyant Mayzie la Bird than on nerdy Gertrude McFuzz.

Oh! Another thing... Mayzie is very very very dramatic at times. She also belts to her heart's content. Those must be mentioned.

Toodli-ooooooooo!

P.S. "Toodli-oooooooo!" is Mayzie's favorite word!

P.P.S. Pic found on Naples News!

P.P.P.S. To see more pictures of Mayzie la Bird, check out the post below!

amayzing mayzie!

Hey everyone! I don't have much time, so I'll get right to the point. In Seussical, I will be playing Mayzie la Bird! I couldn't have asked for a part that fits me more (She says toodles, she is confident, belty, out there, and very dramatic!), although I hadn't thought about it before! Here's some pictures of her extravagant costume...

I'm super excited and I will post more about her later!

Toodli-oooooooo!!

P.S. "Toodi-ooooo" is the way Mayzie says it! :)

Yesterday, me and Julia hosted a surprise birthday party for our best friend, Rebecca! (She's the blonde one in the middle on the last picture.) We made a cupcake tower where each cupcake had a unique face on it, including a Cyclops! The one on the top was Rebecca's, with blonde hair and blue eyes! Anyway, we love you Rebecca! Happy Birthday!

Toodles!
