Two hours into the "Stars of Tomorrow" contest/showcase, our cast hadn't been recognized in a single category. We were sad for them, because we knew the quality of their work.
The curtain rose on their "Beauty and The Beast Medley" and they burst into action, performing the dance number from "No one Fights Like Gaston, " a tavern scene choreographed with clinking mugs, bar brawls, and stomping. The crowd was amazed; they cheered and clapped louder than they had all night.
But our kids weren't done. Beast and Belle sang a powerful duet and then the cast waltzed and sang to "Be Our Guest." The student orchestra played flawlessly.
The costumes they re-rented from Disney looked magical.
They brought it...energy, professionalism, talent.
The crowd went wild. The announcer was left speechless until he muttered, "wow."
We ran into the boys and the director in the hallway. Mr. S looked very proud, an emotion he doesn't often let show.
We don't know why the judges didn't recognize the cast, but we were there when they "showed the world their stuff!"
