These are too funny! Let’s see - an abandoned waif tortured by an evil head mistress; a young girl raised in isolation in a tower by a horrible witch who stole her from her parents and then proceeds to blind her boyfriend and cast her into the wilderness (where she gives birth to twins), finds prince but goes a little batty, crushed by a giant; a bastard child, abandoned and then orphaned, tortured by evil innkeepers and then raised in semi-seclusion by a mysterious man who disappears without warning and then, found once more, proceeds to drop dead on her wedding day; an orphaned girl abused by evil stepmother and stepsisters, falls down a lot, loses her shoe, home destroyed by giant and abandoned in the woods by cheating husband; a misunderstood, nerdy, bookish girl with crazy dad and no mother kidnapped by a hideous beast with whom she falls in love (Stockholm syndrome anyone?); neglected wife of handsome Italian gent who cheats on her constantly; and currently daughter of homicidal barber and crazed mother raised in captivity by the man who raped her mother and drove both parents insane. Oh, and by the way said man plans to marry her and when she tries to escape throws her in an insane asylum which she escapes just in time to be nearly killed by her crazy father, who then kills her crazy mother!
A father who is a buffoon and a tyrant, a buffoon who is philandering CEO, an elderly patriarch of a wacky family who has not paid his taxes for years on principle, a mooning greaser, a puritan minister who puts his own interests first, and a lovesick teen who kills his girlfriend’s brother on his “wedding night”.
A stuffy British mother who disapproves of her son’s relationship with a cockney flower girl. A straight-laced secretary who joins the Brotherhood of Man, A book loving maiden who learns to see past her captor’s flaws. An aging actress playing the role of a housekeeper who just can’t seem to find her sardines. A mother of several “darling” children. A trampy teen who thinks she is knocked up but really isn’t. A Shakespearean warrior queen. A fiery wife of an Italian opera singer. A sassy, sparkly mermaid. An indecisive orphan tormented by her step-sisters and betrayed by her prince who forms new friendships and discovers that no one is alone. A film noir femme fatale who maipulates a private eye in a plot to steal her husband’s fortune.
Lol guys if you need another distraction while waiting for the mail person, download the “QuizUp” app on your phone and start competing in Musical Theater. You will be amazed what MT trivia queens/kings you are! I am #1 in my state (pathetic, I realize) just from having a kid on this journey. It’s kind of addicting, warning. @-)
A princess who has more cause to be tired of the waiting than we do; a girl who licks inanimate objects for money; an illegitimate daughter mostly raised by her grandmother while her slutty mother cries about clowns; a snotty brat who is scared of pussy willows; the nicest kid in town; a witch who has a thing for cold stone statues; a girl who fights that witch with her bow and arrow; a fairy who believes in the same religion as Tom Cruise; a creepy doll who keeps off of the grass, shines her shoes, wipes her…face; a girl who thinks eating a gummy worms will make her fat; a girl who kills people’s hearing by singing the same obnoxious song over and over again to prove her love and devotion; a weasel with a knack for storytelling; a princess who gets married to a man 20 years older than her; a maiden who gets called an acorn because of her small stature; a theatre-loving teen who is wiser than her mom; a snuggly lion
Hmmm: A squatter with a videocamera; a mean cop with a dirty little secret; a teenage punk with a not-so-fast car; a pre-revolutionary patriot secretary; a member of a Greek chorus, A man of god/charity and a student revolutionary; an obnoxious and egotistical pilot (a lot of fun, that one); a masqued island story teller.
Oh, this is fun! Let me give it a try! My D has been: a singing-apple-throwing-tree (1st role ever!)lol!; a provocative-radio-commercial-singing sister; a white dog who sleeps on top of his house & has a bird for a best friend; the eldest daughter of an Austrian sea captain; a mermaid, a singing nun, a beautician that falls in love with a UPS delivery man, a sweet little old lady that serves poisoned wine to unsuspecting boarders; the youngest sister of an aspiring female author; a rich girl that is curious about how “the-other-half-lives”; the best friend of a girl that loves to wear red boots, a brainiac girl in a new school who falls in love with tha school jock when they discover they sound good together when they sing; an orphan; a girl whose dad pretends he doesn’t want her to talk to the boy-next-door so she dates him, a girl with an indugent godmother and great shoes, the wife of a general whose daughter is sacrificed to help win a war, one of the daughter of Zeus; an abused flower shop employee who is eaten by a plant from outtter space.
She has died a few times. Most notably cause her dumbass boyfriend killed himself after she took a roofie from a priest. A stupid girl who lost one shoe and thinks a prince will rescue her. A “dumb hotel”, a nun, a teacher of child lost in darkness, vampire snack, an orphan, some time on a road of yellow, Conrad Birdies #1 fan girl, now a pirate girlfriend.
What a fun thread! I’ll give it a go… The wife of a man who leapt to his death from his penthouse… Or did he? A repressed librarian, a teen dancer on a Baltimore TV show, a dancing tree in a morality tale recently released as a movie that has no dancing trees in the script… but lots of woods, a nightclub singer accused of murdering her boyfriend and her sister awaiting trial, a high school diva convinced she will get the lead… Until a nerd transfers in and disrupts her dynasty, the head of the secretarial pool with murderous wishes towards her boss, and dreams of being a female CEO… That was high school. Since HS she’s played a dancer who’s plastic surgery boosted her career. More to come!!
^^So right, @kategrizz, MORE TO COME! Gosh, the roles these kids have had! Never mind the roles, actually, what great shows they’ve been in, whatever the roles! I will say, it has been weird this year, only going to one show during my son’s productions. Gone are the days when you bought tickets to every show of each production, and I can see in the future that there will even be shows - God Forbid - that we don’t see at all! We can only hope that the kids are that “employed”, right? Keep 'em coming!
