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!

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!

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!

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! :)
