Despite doing the show outdoors in my backyard where we were subjected to all sorts of distractions such as airplanes flying low, dogs barking, babies crying, sun, wind, and heat, our premiere performance was a resounding success!
For those of you who couldn't come, here is a video of our show:

Remember that these young kids learned their parts in an intense rehearsal period - 3 hours a day for 9 days or just 27 total hours. That is a remarkable feat for anyone, let alone children, some who have never been on stage before. Learning the songs was fairly easy for them, but the dancing was more of a challenge. I have the feeling that they enjoyed doing the COMEDY the most!
Having a responsive audience was so great. The kids told me that they loved hearing the audience laugh and clap and root for them in the fight scenes. They even liked how the audience gave encouragement to the Princess to like the gifts she was presented for her birthday party.
This show turned out to be a lot like an Old English Pantomime where the audience is an integral part of the show. Way to go, audience!
A fun time was had by all!
