I'm still not sure what to make of going to church, holding the door open for a firefighter, an angel, and ... the grim reaper. But I had ample time to ponder that as I headed home seated behind a devil.
Kidslife Musical doesn't appear to have been webcast, so take my word for it: them kids got some talent.
Sure, it was a bit cheesy and uneven. But on the whole, good stuff. Everyone had fun and nobody got hurt ... that's always a good sign. Lots of good tunage in the musical, plus we all now have an idea of what Dr. Paul Osteen looks like in makeup (perhaps this had something to do with why there was no webcast?). Aimee Beard and a slew of others (whose names elude my memory) got a bit of a credit for their work on the project. I might have liked to have had a program-type thing handy to keep track of folks, but that's just me. Any of the KidsLife honchos want to check in with that in the comments?
Odd mix for me on a Wednesday. I got to loaf around in the back end of the floor seats, but still had to "enjoy" the presence of a lot of kids in my midst. I swear - I've never felt the urge to grab my shotgun, rock in my rocking chair, and demand that kids get off my lawn like I did last night. Well, that is IF I owned a shotgun or rocking chair ... or had a lawn. But you get the idea. Whatever, it was their night and they seemed to get a kick out of it. The girl that played the younger sister had a couple of good numbers and showed some pretty amazing chops. Not sure if the tunes were lip synched or what, but either way a "Job Well Done" is in order for all involved.

I'm a mom of one of the Chorus girls, nothing was lip synched, these was all natural. . .kudos to KD the director and I believe writer of the play.. . I can't say it enough, well done!!
Thanks Rose ... only reason I wondered was that I was uncertain that the mics were capable enough to pick up singing as well as they apparently do. I was sitting behind the sound booth looking for some sort of glaring indication one way or the other and couldn't see any indication that the music was pre-recorded. Gotta love all that modern technology.
Although I didn't get a chance to watch it, I did notice this was broadcast on the web. Glad it was fun for all involved!
Hey Greg,
Thanks for the review. We did have programs, but I don't think anyone knew about it. Thanks Rose for being so supportive of your daughter in the musical with all of our rehearsals! They all did a wonderful job. And Greg, did you notice that Scar was played by Michael Woelfel? He did an awesome job didn't he?!?!

By the way, Ashlee Hurst was the Producer and co-wrote on the musical.
Hey Greg and friends - just want to thank you for the nice review of the Kidslife Musical. I was blessed to play "White Queen" and even more blessed to be the mom of "the girl with the chops" who played "Madison", my daughter Alexis. Yes, that was (and is) her voice! God has blessed all these kids with so much talent, and it is an amazing priveledge to be a able to watch God use them and teach them about Him as they serve. Thanks again, and God bless! Amy Hudak
'Great job' to both you & Alexis.
